Stuffing
Category: Logistics
Also searched as: Container stuffing
Definition (plain English)
Stuffing is the loading of cartons, pallets, or loose cargo into a container, trailer, or unit load device for transport.
Why it matters commercially
Stuffing quality affects container utilization, cargo damage, temperature airflow, weight distribution, VGM, seal evidence, and claims if goods arrive short or damaged.
Example
A supplier sent loading photos showing pallet order, bracing, seal number, and temperature logger placement before the reefer container left the factory.
Common mistake
Treating stuffing as simple loading without confirming load plan, pallet fit, gross weight, axle limits, bracing, photos, seal number, and special handling instructions.
