In June 2018, the load securing of transport packaging was newly regulated.

The EU Directive requires every cargo to be tested and certified for its cargo stability. In addition, the Directive transfers liability from carriers to manufacturers to avoid shipping non-certified, accident-causing cargoes.

First of all, the provision - as the only specified standard - includes certified test results according to the 40509 standard of the non-profit organization EUMOS (European Safe Logistics Association).

At Drinktec 2017 in Munich, visitors from the beverage and liquid food industry found new pallet packaging solutions on the MSK exhibition stand. The visitors' interest focussed particularly on new packaging systems for so-called display pallets, often in ¼-pallet format. Display pallets demand powerful conveying and packaging systems, as these are usually top-heavy, owing to the display construction and because of their small dimensions, allow no or very little composite stacking. With an ever increasing range and trend…
