Ordering different flooring products in one container can help simplify purchasing and make better use of available container space. 

At AOCHEN, we normally review the product specifications, quantities, packaging, container type, weight and loading requirements together before confirming the final loading plan.

1. Product Specifications

Different flooring products can have very different specifications, including:

  • Thickness
  • Size
  • Weight
  • Surface structure
  • Packaging method
  • Loading requirements

These specifications directly affect how much product can be loaded into a container.

For example, 500 m² of one flooring product may require significantly different container space from 500 m² of another product because the thickness, package size, stacking method and weight can be different.

Therefore, square meters alone are not enough to calculate the final loading quantity.

When we evaluate a mixed-container order, we look at the specifications of each product together rather than calculating every product separately.

 

2. Packaging

Packaging is another important factor in container utilization.Depending on the product, flooring may be packed in:

  • Cartons
  • Pallets
  • Rolls
  • Bundles
  • Individual packages
  • Customized export packaging

The same product quantity can occupy different amounts of space depending on how it is packaged.For example, palletized goods may require more loading space than goods that can be stacked directly, while rolls and cartons have completely different loading characteristics.

For this reason, the packaging method should be confirmed before calculating the final loading plan.

As a manufacturer, AOCHEN can evaluate the product quantity and packaging requirements together. This allows us to consider container utilization during the order-planning stage, rather than waiting until the products are ready for shipment.

 

3. Quantity and MOQ of Each Product

A mixed container does not mean that every product can be ordered in any quantity.

Each product still needs to meet its applicable MOQ.

For example, if a customer wants to add a particular flooring product to a mixed container but only needs 10 or 50 pieces, production may not be practical for that quantity.The production cost of setting up and manufacturing a specific product, design or specification for a very small quantity can be significantly different from producing a larger batch.Therefore, when planning a mixed-container order, we need to consider two things together:

MOQ + Container Loading

The goal is not simply to fill the container.The goal is to find a practical combination of products and quantities that meets the customer's purchasing needs while also making production and container loading reasonable.

 

4. Container Type, CBM and Total Weight

The container type also affects the final loading plan.The container types we most frequently work with include:

  • 20GP - our main option
  • 40GP
  • 40HQ

However, choosing a container is not simply a matter of selecting the largest available space.

For some orders, volume (CBM) may become the limiting factor.

For other orders, total weight may become the limiting factor.

This is particularly important when different flooring products with different densities and packaging methods are combined in one container.Therefore, we consider:

Product Quantity + CBM + Total Weight + Packaging

rather than calculating the order only by square meters.Based on the customer's product list and estimated quantities, AOCHEN can evaluate the expected container utilization and help determine whether a 20GP, 40GP or 40HQ is more suitable.

 

5. Loading Sequence

Different products may also require different loading arrangements.For example, heavier products should be positioned appropriately, while products that are more vulnerable to compression or damage may need additional protection.The loading plan may therefore need to consider:

Product → Packaging → Weight → Stackability → Loading Sequence → Space Utilization

This means mixed-container loading is not simply a matter of putting several different products into the same container.The products need to be arranged in a way that makes practical use of the available space while protecting the goods during transportation.

 

With more than 13 years of manufacturing and export experience, AOCHEN can evaluate these factors before production and help customers develop a more practical mixed-container order plan.

 

You do not need to calculate the entire container by yourself.Simply provide us with:

  • Product names
  • Specifications
  • Estimated quantities
  • Required colors or designs
  • Packaging requirements, if applicable
  • Destination

Based on this information, AOCHEN can help evaluate:

  • Applicable MOQ for each product
  • Estimated CBM
  • Total weight
  • Suitable container type
  • Packaging and loading requirements
  • Expected container space utilization
  • Production lead time
  • Final quotation

The earlier the mixed-container plan is considered, the easier it is to coordinate production, packaging and loading.

For buyers who need several different flooring products, working with one manufacturer can make the purchasing process much easier.
