Freight is one of the largest costs in a CKD gas stove program, and how the container is loaded determines how much you pay per stove. Two importers buying identical kits can have very different landed costs purely from packing efficiency. Container loading optimization is where the savings hide.
A fully assembled stove is mostly empty space — a large box built around a hollow appliance. A CKD kit is flat, dense, and stackable. When parts are packed compactly, a single 20-foot or 40-foot container holds dramatically more stove-equivalents, and the freight cost per unit drops accordingly.
Smart CKD packing nests and layers components to use every cubic centimeter. Body panels stack flat, burner caps nest by size, and smaller hardware is consolidated into labeled cartons that fill gaps. The goal is a container with no wasted air — every layer tightly packed and every void filled.
Density must never come at the cost of damage. Enameled caps and glass panels need foam, dividers, and bracing that prevent transit damage. THREEMI designs CKD packing that balances volume efficiency with protection, so you maximize stoves per container without shipping scrap.
We help CKD partners plan container loading for maximum efficiency — kit layout, carton dimensions, and palletization — and we pack kits to match. The result is a lower freight cost per stove, which flows straight to your margin. Contact us to review your container plan before your next shipment.
