Accident, rough weather, unloading, reloading and pilferage, everything on the way has to be taken into consideration to ensure the safe arrival of the goods. Different types of goods—goods subject to breakage, goods subject to moisture, goods with still other special treatment in transit—require different types of packing. That’s why some large export forms have a special department for export packing and the whole question is under regular review. Many firms employ special export packers or forwarding agents to do their packing for them.

Task 1 Before reading the passage, see how much you know about packing by answering the following questions. 1. What is the purpose of packing? Packing serves as a form of protection, facilitates loading, unloading and storage, and prevents pilferage; furthermore, it can promote sales. 2. How many types of packing are usually used in international trade? Packing can be divided into transport packing (usually known as outer packing) and sales packing (usually known as inner packing). Still, there is another category of packing, called “neutral packing”.

Text An Introduction to Packing Packing is of great importance in international trade. It may be appropriately said that packing is to goods what clothing is to men. Packing not only serves as a form of protection, but also facilitates loading, unloading and stowage, and prevents pilferage. Furthermore it can promote sales. Packing can be divided into transport packing (usually known as outer packing) and sales packing (usually known as inner packing). Transport packing is done mainly to keep the goods safe and sound during transportation. It must not only be solid enough to prevent the packed goods from 精品好文档，推荐学习交流 仅供学习与交流，如有侵权请联系网站删除 谢谢3 any damage, but also be pilferage-proof, easy to store and convenient to load and unload. Sales packing is done mainly to push sales. It is now universally recognized as a decisive aid in selling household consumer goods. It can be realized in various forms and with different materials as long as it is nice to look at, easy to handle and helpful to the sales. Still, there is another category of packing, called “neutral packing”. This kind of packing carries no mark of the name of the original country of the packed goods and no signs of the original trademark, with the view to elude the tariff of the import country or satisfy the buyer’s special requirement. 在对外贸易中，包装起了很重要的作用。恰当地来说，包装对于货物的作用就如同衣服对于人类。包装不仅起到了保护的作用，还对货物的装卸、存储提供了方便，并可以防止货物失窃的发生。此外，包装还能促进商品的销售。包装可分为运输包装（通常称为外部包装）和销售包装（通常称作内部包装）。运输包装主要是为了保证货物在运输过程中完好无损。运输包装不仅仅要足够结实，从而避免货物的损坏，而且还要防盗、易于存储和装卸。销售包装主要是为了促进销售。在家庭用品的销售上，人们现在普遍认为包装的作用至关重要。只要外表美观、易于携带并促进销售，销售包装外表可以五花八门，材料也可以各种各样。另外还有一种包装称作“中性包装”。这种包装外表没有货物原产国的标示，也没有原产商标，目的是逃避进口国的关税或满足买方的特殊要求。 Outer packing must be strikingly marked to facilitate identification and transportation. There are three principal types of marking which may have to be done on export package: (1) The consignee’s own distinctive marks including the consignee’s initials, usually in a square, circle, triangle or diamond, and the name of the port of destination; (2) Any official mark required by authorities. For example, some countries require the name of the original country of the goods to be marked on every package, and weight and dimensions may also be required; (3) Special directions or warnings. For example, various warnings are to be stenciled on the packages for the benefit of both the owner and the carrier, such as THIS SIDE UP, DO NOT DROP, and OPEN THIS SIDE. Requirement for inner packing is increasingly high, with beautiful color, creative design and convenient handling as its chief concern. The primary motive for inner packing is to promote the sales of the particular goods. Details such as manner of packing, kinds of packing materials and the burden of packing cost should be unmistakably stipulated in the contract concerned and strictly observed by both the selling side and the buying side. Letter about packing issues should be concise and clear. Any changes regarding packing stipulated in the contract should be mutually discussed and determined before packing. 外部包装必须突出明显的标识以便于货物的确认和运输。出口包装主要有三种主要的标识： （1）收货人的标识，包括收货人首写字母，通常写在正方形、圆形、三角形或菱形图案内，此外还要注明目的港； （2）官方要求的所有正式标示。例如，一些国家要求每件包装上都要标明货物的原产国、重量和尺寸； （3）特殊的指示或警示标志。例如，有关警示标识应印在包装上，以方便收货人和承运人，如“此端向上”、“请勿掉落”和“请于此处打开”等。
