Shipment cases, published as they happen.

CASTOVELLA is a new programme, and this page will not pretend otherwise. Rather than illustrate it with other companies' containers or staged photography, we publish the framework now and add real cases — with customer brands masked, per our standing practice — as the first orders ship. A case page that begins empty and fills with verifiable shipments is worth more than one that begins full of borrowed pictures.

What each case will show

• The specification: the locked variables the order was built on (product, dimensions, materials, quantity).
• The packing: unit packaging, carton specification and palletisation as shipped.
• The loading: container utilisation and loading photographs (customer branding masked) taken at loading, not at a photo session.
• The route: port pair and shipping basis (FCL/LCL), so importers can compare against their own lanes.

Loading practice, in the meantime

Casters are dense freight: weight, not volume, usually fills a container first — the exception being pneumatic wheels, which ship mostly air (one reason that line is quoted per application). Mixed-line orders are consolidated so that heavier lines (heavy duty PU, scaffold) and lighter lines (furniture, TPR) balance a container's weight and cube. Packing protects the two things that arrive damaged when packing is lazy: tread surfaces and stem threads, which are capped or separated per unit packaging specification.

When the first cases publish, they will be announced on the buyer library. If your order ships with us and you are willing to be a case — anonymised or credited, your choice — tell the desk.
