Protecting Your Shipments with Secure Packaging

If you are a company that manufactures consumer electronics, apparel, food, or any other valuable items, you most probably already aware of the risk of cargo theft. Cargo theft has now become a worldwide issue that has a significant effect on individual economies. In this post, we will explain how our solutions help prevent it from happening to you.

Cargo theft has now become a worldwide issue

According to the Cargo Crime Monitor Report of April 2018 by the TAPA EMEA’s Vigilant e-magazine, the United Kingdom has seen 114 incidents of cargo-related crimes in just one month. Other countries like Belgium, Kenya, France, Germany and Russia have also faced cargo theft incidents that led to huge losses. Here are a few statistics on Cargo Thefts.

  1. In Q1/2018, 23 countries all over the world reported incidents of cargo theft.
  2. 620 cargo crimes were reported to TAPA’s IIS in EMEA.
  3. Total loss for all cargo crimes in Q1, 2018 was €26,511,436

Different kinds of theft incidents   have been reported, including theft from vehicles, trailers and even hijacking and robbery. If such incidents continue it will have severe impact on the global shipping landscape, and it will result in huge setbacks to individual companies.

Lightweight, Secure Transportation Solutions by Nefab

Another important concern with many of customers shipping small, valuable devices – especially electronics – is the packaging’s weight. In an industry dominated by air transport, reducing each packages weight can be pivotal when it comes to total cost of logistics. At Nefab, we don’t sacrifice weight for security or vice versa; we realize that both elements are equally important and must be accounted for in these cases. A great example of this lies in Nefab’s own Lightweight Pallet.
