CONCEPT OF CONTAINERIZATION
The conteainerization is a physical distribution method that uses a container as a way of tranporting the cargo. Is an inter-modal system of transporting the general cargo or product in lots. With containerization goods are moved easier from one place to another with the help of the containers which can be loaded intact onto the container ships, trucks, railroad cars and planes.
Nowadays, containerization is the innovative key in the field of logistics that helps to organize cargo in an efficient, better and save way.

Back to speed in production and an efficient operational system and sudden increase change in demand, production requires enough space to store bulk raw materials and a
Shipping some parts and pieces in very expensively made plastic reusable containers. While being conscious and in favor of recycling at the start, the parts that many of these containers hold are considerably smaller than the containers themselves, thus adding to the size and weight with shipping cost. Others are reusable steel containers, when large heavy cardboard or wooden boxes would suffice as an alternate packaging source. Some items sent in reusable wooden boxes that a heavy cardboard box would have sufficed. Just one example that has been observed in a military unit, using a $1200 plastic shipping container for a $100 circuit card with 7 layers of wrapping plus a foam insert. Of all the materials used, one needs the anti-static wrapping and the foam layer, other than that; a heavy cardboard box would be more than

Containerization is a system of freight transport that transports trade goods from ports to ports. This system is based on a range of steel intermodal containers (also "shipping containers").These containers are built to standardized dimensions and can be loaded and unloaded, stacked, transported efficiently over long distances, and transferred from one mode of transport to another. Thus, it provided an economic way to ship 90% of the world trade goods across the globe and as a result has benefited society in providing for a truly open market to buy and sell goods.
