Shipping container as an ideal solution for transporting and storing durable dairy products

Shipping containers have become a universal tool for transporting and storing various types of goods, including durable dairy products that do not require refrigeration. Thanks to their versatility, durability and availability, they represent an effective and cost-effective solution for manufacturers and distributors.

Advantages of a shipping container for durable dairy products

Shipping containers offer many advantages that make them ideal for storage and transportation:

• Protection from external influences: Shipping containers are robust, airtight and resistant to moisture, temperature fluctuations or mechanical damage. The goods inside are thus protected from adverse conditions.
• Flexibility: With the wide availability of containers in different sizes, such as 20-foot or 40-foot variants, capacity can be easily adapted to specific needs.
• Easy transport: Containers are designed for easy handling and transport, whether by road, rail or sea.
• Long-term storage: Perishable dairy products that do not require refrigeration can be safely stored for long periods of time without worrying about their quality.
• Cost savings: Compared to traditional storage facilities, shipping containers are cheaper to purchase and maintain.

What can be transported and stored

Shipping containers are ideal for a wide range of dairy products with a long shelf life. The most common include:

• Dried milk and milk powders: Thanks to their resistance to moisture, the containers are the perfect choice.
• Condensed milk in cans: Excellently protected from mechanical damage and temperature changes.
• Long-life creams and milk drinks in Tetra Pak packaging: Can be stored for a long time without the need for refrigeration.
• Finished dairy products: Such as butter, cheese products or biscuits enriched with dairy ingredients.

How much can a 20-foot container hold?

The smaller, 20-foot shipping container is one of the most popular sizes chosen due to its versatility. It can hold approximately 33 cubic meters of goods, which corresponds to approximately:

• 10-11 europallets (standard size 120 x 80 cm), or
• 25,000-30,000 pieces of dairy product packages in Tetra Pak packaging (depending on the size of the package).

Storage and transport of raw materials and finished products

Shipping containers are ideal for the transport and storage of not only finished products, but also the raw materials needed to produce them:

• Raw materials: Milk powders, additives or packaging materials can be easily stored or transported.
• Finished products: From long-life dairy drinks to packaged butter or cheese.

Thanks to their weather resistance and safety, containers not only protect goods, but also ensure easy handling during loading and unloading.

Other possible uses for dairy producers

Long-life dairy producers can also use shipping containers outside the field of transport and storage:

• Temporary storage space for production expansion: Containers can be placed directly on the premises of the operation to create immediate storage capacity.
• Mobile stores or showrooms: Modified containers can serve as temporary stores or places to present new products.
• Packaging recycling: Containers can serve as collection points for recycling used dairy packaging.

Recommendations and tips

If you are considering using a shipping container for your business, here are some tips:

• Regularly check the condition of the container: Make sure that the door and wall seals are in perfect condition to prevent moisture from entering.
• Optimize the interior space: Maximize the use of space by using shelving systems or palletizing.
• Take advantage of the container’s mobility: Do you need to relocate your warehouse? With a shipping container, you can do it quickly and easily.

Shipping containers are an effective and versatile solution for producers of durable dairy products. Whether you need to safely store raw materials, transport products or create temporary storage spaces, containers offer reliability, flexibility and cost savings. Using them, you will not only gain a logistical advantage, but also the ability to quickly respond to changes in demand or the growth of your business.
