During transportation, it can prevent packaging from rupturing, leaking, and content loss, prevent cargo from being damaged or deteriorated due to stacking, vibration, or changes in air pressure and temperature, prevent injury to personnel, or pollution of aircraft, ground equipment, and other related items.

Air cargo logistics agents require that the packaging should be suitable for the nature and weight of the goods and easy to load and unload

The outer surface of the packaging should not have protruding nails or thorns. If the packaging is clean and dry, it should ensure that there are no odor or oil stains. Air cargo agents require that advanced materials in the packaging should not leak out. Except for goods packaged in paper bags, consigned goods should be tied with straps. It is strictly forbidden to use grass bags or grass ropes to bind the cargo. The packaging straps used to tie the cargo should be able to bear the full weight of the cargo and ensure that the cargo remains open when lifted.

If the packaging of the goods does not meet the relevant regulations, the consignor should strictly require improvements or repacking of the goods before delivery. The special packaging requirements of express delivery for certain goods by air cargo companies are for precision fragile goods and fragile goods. The gross weight of a single piece of goods should not exceed the standard weight. A method that can be used is multilevel packaging.

The size of air cargo, except for documents and letters that can be directly attached to the air waybill, the length, width, height, and distance of other goods shall not be less than the prescribed distance. If it is lower than the above standards, the consignor shall package it.

Air cargo agents undertaking some special cargoes transported by air must also meet the following special requirements:

Without the special approval of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, microorganisms and products harmful to the human body such as bacteria, animals, plants, carrier culture media, etc. shall not be transported. Air cargo agents can carry sterile and non-toxic certificates provided by shippers in accordance with the carriage of ordinary goods. Storage and transportation of microorganisms and harmful biological products should be far away from food.

When the shipper is handling the consignment, a certificate issued by the funeral department must be provided. The transportation of dangerous goods must be in accordance with the regulations of the Civil Aviation Administration of China on the air transport safety of dangerous goods.
