Retail trade - Import export

Fairtrade is a label used worldwide that is committed to the establishment of, and compliance with, social, economic and ecological standards. Certified products, such as Fairtrade sugar, bear the Fairtrade label in the retail and wholesale trade. Fairly traded sugar contributes towards improving the living standards and working conditions of farming families in Latin American, Asian and African countries.

’How do I find the right packaging to safely ship my products?’ is a favourite question of online retailers. The answer is a trade-off: products must reach customers undamaged, but ideally without using excessive amounts of padding material. Typically, E-tailers use a range of standard-size boxes which need padding with various materials, depending on the product.
