The term TEW is a shorthand used in the shipping industry for a 20-foot container; a 40-foot unit is called a "2 TEW." This makes calculations and inventory monitoring easier as the terminology is universal. Other lengths are considered specialty items and are named to reflect this.
In 19th century America, fiber board shipping containers were slow to catch on. Twenty years after it was first invented in 1871, corrugated fiber board was reserved for special shipments that contained fragile, breakable goods like pottery and glass.
If you need to ship hazardous materials, then you need to make sure your container can handle the pressure and the material. UN ratings on shipping containers help make it easy to find the right container, and make it easy to ship that container over borders.
You probably know the size of the items you want to ship, but do you know the size of an average pallet designed for warehouse storage and transportation via forklift? That would be 40 inches by 48 inches.
Shipping containers can be made in all sizes, shapes, and materials. The most popular sizes range from 5 to 100 gallons for routine shipping; and the most common materials are plastic, steel, and fiber board.
The first three UN rating characters tell you about the container, the material, then whether it’s closed-head or open-head. For example, “1A2” is a steel (A) drum (1) with an open head (2), while “4G” means that it’s a cardboard (G) box (4).
With today’s global marketplace, products will often go from a truck to a train to a ship to a train to a truck before they reach the final destination. This is a lot of jostling and moving, but the right shipping container will protect your product for the entire journey.
