Containers are a common transport carrier in international shipping. Containers are generally used to load goods with large quantities, heavy weights and large volumes. Due to the long time and long distance of international shipping, in order to ensure that the goods will not be manipulated during the long-distance transportation, it is a good way to stick a seal.

Most people may think that it is enough to add a lock on the container, which will also be safer.

Indeed, the idea of adding locks is indeed correct. However, as high-volume long-distance freight, locks are too expensive, and it is also troublesome to use, and the transportation of keys is also added, which is equivalent to adding new difficulties. The second is anti-counterfeiting. The general lock has low anti-counterfeiting performance and is easy to be opened by small tools, that is, it can be reused. Such things cannot achieve the purpose of anti-theft, but will bring a lot of risks to the transportation of goods, because locks can be recycled, then, how to solve the price problem and improve anti-counterfeiting? A product called HaiGuang gasket with high security came into being.

Some people may not know what a container seal is, but it is actually a special lock on the container. Generally speaking, it is a one-time use, mainly because the seal on the seal will be damaged once opened, and it can no longer be used. The most important purpose of the container seal is to protect the safety of the goods in the container. What is the classification and meaning of container gaskets? What should I pay attention to when using container gaskets? Let's take a look together.

Then, according to the classification of door gaskets, there are also several types, including factory door gaskets, locks, and ship door gaskets, etc.; there is also a temporary wharf seal that is less used, which is accidentally placed on the door when unloading the ship. If the seal is damaged, the terminal is used for temporary sealing, or the container is dismantled in the terminal after unloading, and when the consignee picks up the first batch of goods, in order to avoid disputes, a temporary terminal seal will also be added.

Note on the use of container gaskets

A. First of all, you must choose a manufacturer with good quality and reputation to buy container gaskets. You can't buy from a manufacturer too casually. There is definitely a potential safety hazard for the goods. Moreover, you must sign a contract with the manufacturer before ordering, and require the manufacturer to promise not to provide a third party with a seal with the same identification and number, so as to ensure the uniqueness of its own seal.

B. It is best not to choose products with the same size, color, size and shape of each seal. Such door gaskets are easy to be copied and increase the risk of goods. To buy moderately priced container gaskets, there is a certain manufacturing cost for the door gaskets. Some door gaskets seem to be cheap, but it is likely that the cost is reduced by cutting corners. It is easy to cause problems in the process of use, and even bring unnecessary losses.
