Excellent charcoal can arrive in poor condition if the packing is weak. Charcoal faces moisture, vibration and stacking for weeks, so good packing is part of quality.
Common packing types
Cartons with inner bags
The most popular option for shisha charcoal: a sealed plastic bag inside a reinforced carton, printable with your brand.
Paper or woven bags
Common for BBQ charcoal in retail and wholesale weights.
Jumbo bags
For industrial charcoal and very large volumes.
What good packing looks like
- Carton strength that withstands stacking.
- Tight sealing against moisture and dust.
- Accurate net weight matching the label.
- Clear carton marks: product, weight, batch number.
Container loading
Cargo can be palletised for easy unloading or floor-loaded to maximise space. Charcoal must be fully cooled before packing, and the container must be clean and dry.
