About Outer Packing
Dear Sirs,
It gives us mush pleasure to advise you that the 500 dozen shirts under Order No. HAC-86 packed in cartons were shipped on board s .s ‘ Fengqing ’ on the 25th July to be transshipped at Antwerp. We shall appreciate it if you will infrm us of the condition of packing as soon as the consignment arrives at your end.
In regard to packing the goods in question in cartons, we wish to give you our comment as follows;
1. Packing in cartons prevents skilful pilerage. As the trace of pilferage will be more in evidence , the insurance company may be made to pay the neccessary compensation for such losses.
2. Cartons are quite fit for ocean transportion , and they are extensively used in our shipments to other ports to the entire satisfaction of our clients . Such packing has also been accepted by our insurance company for WPA and TPND.
3. These cartons are well protected against moisture by plastic lining. The very fact that they are made of paperboard induces special attention in handling and storage. Thus shirts packed in wooden cases.
4. Since cartons are comparatively light and compact, they are more convenient to handle in loading and unloading. Besides, they are not likely to be mixed with wooden cases while in transport or storage, so that the rate of breakage is lower than that of wooden cases. In view of the above reason , it is believed that your clients will find packing in cartons satisfactory and their fears unwarranted.
We are awaiting your further comments.
Yours faithfully,
