Case Study: Helping a Brazil Honey Jar Dealer Solve Export Packaging and Breakage

Background

A Brazil-based flip top bottle factory approached Minghang for support after facing serious breakage issues during overseas shipments. Although their products met domestic standards, export packaging failures caused frequent damage, delays, and customer complaints. The dealer needed a customized, export-ready solution to protect glass jars throughout long-distance logistics.

Challenges in Export Shipping

High Breakage During Transit

The glass bottles were breaking during container loading and sea transport due to insufficient cushioning and unstable carton layouts. Existing packaging designs did not account for vibration, stacking pressure, or temperature changes.

Limited Packaging Expertise

The dealer lacked experience in export-grade glass packaging and needed guidance similar to the standards used by a professional flip top bottle factory, where transport safety is critical.

Customized Solutions

Reinforced Packaging Design

Minghang redesigned the export cartons using thicker corrugated material, internal dividers, and shock-absorbing spacing. Pallet patterns were optimized to improve load stability and reduce movement during shipping.

Jar Structure Optimization

The bottle base and shoulder areas were slightly reinforced to improve impact resistance without increasing overall weight. This approach aligned with durability standards commonly applied in a flip top bottle factory environment.

Export Testing and Validation

Drop tests, vibration simulations, and container stacking trials were conducted to ensure the bottles could withstand long export journeys safely.

Conclusion

Through export-focused packaging design, structural optimization, and logistics testing, Minghang helped the Brazilian flip top bottle factory overcome breakage challenges and build a reliable global supply chain.
