Tiivistelmä
The aim of the study was to develop packaging instructions. Packaging guidelines must be designed in a way that it will be easy for the packager to follow the given instructions. This study investigated packaging material requirements and specified the packaging methods that must be implemented on the packaging instruction.
The key objective of the research was to combine the packaging and shipping process guidelines for different types of products. The aim was to avoid damage on the packaged goods during storing, handling and transporting.
The research method in this study was mainly based on the EU standards requirement for wooden materials used in the packaging industry and on the Eurocode 5 for wooden materials used in the construction industry. In addition, the existing data for packaging requirements, particularly for heavy duty products, which were also based on the EU and Eurocode 5 standards were applied in this research
The study managed to develop and specify wooden materials that can be used in packaging. Moreover, it proposed methods such as securing the packaged goods at the bottom of the cases, crates or pallets and securing equipment. It also conducted experiments in the JAMK Logistics Laboratory to assure that the wooden materials and securing methods were reliable.
From the packaging requirement perspective, the study reached a successful outcome, but the challenging part was to investigate the mechanical and physical properties of wood. However, it has been approached the thesis results based on the experimental investigation of wooden material in which implemented into the packaging instruction.
