What Are the Differences Between Flat Pack Containers and Special Containers?

Container Family(Qingdao)would like to provide high-quality containers based on your requirements.Choose a flat pack model or special shipping container?It is a good question.Next, I will provide a detailed introduction to these two products.

The flat-pack container is a type of modular prefabricated building, used for storage as well as for housing or office purposes for people. Disassembled into flat panels for transportation, and assembled on-site. It is hardly used for transporting goods.

While special containers are specifically designed for cargo transportation and storage. They are an upgraded and innovative version based on standard shipping containers, being more sturdy and corrosion-resistant, and suitable for various types of goods,common examples include flat rack containers,offshore container,open-top container,full side open container,tank container...

Flat Pack Containers vs Special Containers

components, such as installing doors and windows, rolling shutters, and built-in shelves,but the materials of the two are different.The bolt-together flat-pack container is mainly used for storage and does not have the capacity for ocean transportation. Its greatest advantage is that it can be disassembled into a flat panel, with low transportation costs and ready for use upon on-site assembly.The special container can be used for storage and transportation. Common sizes include 20ft/40ft/45ft. It can be used to transport/stores bulk goods, chilled fresh products, extremely large or long goods, minerals, etc. It can also be placed in coastal areas, remote regions, etc. for a long time.They are usually more sturdy and have a stronger ability to resist strong winds.

Notice:

1. Flat Pack Container≠Flat Rack Container.The flat rack container only has a bottom plate and two side end plates. It is mainly used for transporting oversized items that exceed the size of the container. It is divided into two types: collapsible and non-collapsible.

2. There is a folding shipping container can be folded to save space,but it belongs to special containers with CSC certificate,and can’t be used for living or office.
