Free for exporters - No Credit Card or Payment needed

Know what proper packing means for your shipment — before you ship.

An engineering-grade packaging report for exporters. Describe your shipment, upload photos, and get a full advisory — cargo profile, risk assessment, packaging spec, applicable regulations, cargo- insurance rating, monitoring recommendations, and an executive summary — before you ship. For high-value cargo, dangerous goods, or unusual routes, we still route you to a certified packer or surveyor for the final word.

Not a compliance certifier. Not a substitute for a licensed surveyor. Guidance only.

How it works

Six steps to a full packaging report

Describe your shipment

Product, mode, weight and dimensions, declared value, origin and destination, ship date.

Upload photos

Multiple angles of the packed goods. Kept private and timestamped as documentation.

We look up the rules

Category × transport mode × route → the outer and inner packing your lane expects.

We factor climate

Humidity, temperature range and transit duration for that lane and month.

The advisor synthesises a full report

Cargo profile, risk assessment, packaging materials, dimensions, regulations, cargo-insurance rating, monitoring devices, sustainability options, and an executive summary.

Saved for claims

Photo + advisor report saved as timestamped claim-support documentation you can retrieve later.

What you get

An 11-section engineering-grade packaging report

Every section is customised to your product, mode, route, transit duration and climate. When intake fields are missing, the advisor states its assumptions instead of refusing — and drops its confidence score so you know when to push for a professional review.

Cargo profile

How your product classifies — fragility, moisture/temperature sensitivity, DG status, theft attractiveness.

Risk assessment

Every real handling, climate, and route risk for your lane, rated low / medium / high.

Packaging recommendation

Primary, secondary, protective materials, outer options, palletization, and accessories — each with rationale.

Temperature protection

Transport temperature, acceptable range, refrigeration method and protection duration — when applicable.

Dimensions & weights

Package and pallet dimensions, gross/net/volumetric weight, container utilization.

Applicable regulations

ISPM-15, IATA DGR, IMDG, ADR, HACCP, FDA, ISO 780, phytosanitary, country-specific — with why each applies.

Cargo insurance rating

Excellent to unsuitable, plus claim scenarios, weak points, improvements, and a 0–100 protection + risk score.

Monitoring devices

GPS, temperature, humidity, shock or tilt indicators — only what actually matters for this cargo.

Sustainability

Greener alternatives that don't compromise protection.

Packaging diagram

Layered ASCII sketch from outer package down to the product.

Executive summary

One-line suitability verdict + confidence score (1–10) + pre-shipment recommendations.

What ProperPack does

  • · Tells you what outer + inner packing your lane expects
  • · Flags a photo against those expectations, honestly
  • · Factors climate and transit duration for the ship month
  • · Detects DG declaration and checks for a UN mark and hazard diamond
  • · Saves photo + report as claim-support documentation
  • · Lets you download the full report as a PDF

What it does not do

  • · Reproduce IATA DGR or IMDG Code content
  • · Certify compliance or issue guarantees
  • · Replace a licensed surveyor or freight forwarder
  • · Give packing-group-specific DG clause advice
  • · Offer legal or insurance guidance
