How to load a container? It seems to be the problem for the factory. However, the fact is more related to the client while they unload the container.
It’s two opposite thing things for the factory and client. For the factory, the aim is to try to load everything inside the container as fast as possible. For the client, the aim is to unload the goods and confirm the goods is correct according to the packing list.
To be honest, it won’t be too much different between hand loading or pallet loading. Here, let me show you what would be the different for two methods.

1-3 hours (depend on item) |
1 hours |
|

2-6 hours |
1-2 hours |
|

High (depend on pallet type) |
|

68CBM |
57CBM |

The key for this problem is to compare the cost or value of each item between two loading.
According to the crazy sea freight, more and more customers reconsider the loading way of the container. What is your opinion?
