5. Delivery in Containers

5. Delivery in Containers

5.1 Before loading, the containers have to be checked on cracks, wholes and impurities. Damaged or dirty containers shall not be used.

5.2 The contents of the containers have to be secured to avoid displacement at the doors. By opening the doors, falling out of the contents must be prevented. For this purpose, please use suitable safety nets. See photos:

5.3 When loading the containers, the weight of the cartons must be considered. This means heavy cartons have to be loaded further down, lighter cartons have to be loaded higher up in the container.

5.4 For delivery of several items, the cartons must be loaded in blocks. This will help to avoid time-consuming sorting while unloading.

6. Transport Packaging/Master Carton

The transport packaging, hereinafter referred to as master carton, has to be chosen to withstand transportation loads and to protect packed goods from damage.Transport damages resulting from inadequate packaging are to be borne to the supplier.

6.1 Type of master carton The following design from the internationally valid FEFCO catalogue is permissible for the master carton:


The glue lap (adhesive fl ap) of the transport packaging may only be glued and/or taped, but not stapled.

Board quality at least 2.30 BC according to DIN 55468-1.

Folding box compliant to FEFCO code 0201 with abutting outer fl aps on the base and top.

6.2 Master cartons must provide suffi cient stack characteristics (stack height 2.40 m) and may not deform during a storage period of min. 2 years under normal storage conditions. The deforming of master cartons may cause consequential damage.

6.3 Total weight of master carton: up to a maximum of 25kg

6.4 Outer fl aps on the base and top must be taped in double T-form. Staples, clamps and straps are not permitted as seals for the packaging. Adhesive tape and master carton labels must stay fully adhesive for a period of two years under normal storage and transportation conditions without loosening or coming off either in part or in full. Only transparent or brown adhesive tapes have to be used. Colored adhesive tapes are not allowed.

6.5 When ready for shipment, the master cartons must pass the following tests:

• Compression test in accordance with EN ISO 12048: 2000

• Vertical impact test (free fall) in accordance with DIN EN 22248

• Vibration test in accordance with EN ISO 2247: 2002

Climatic tests as specifi ed by the following parameters:

The ready-for-shipment master cartons must be fully functional and usable after the climatic test has been performed:

Cycle Temperature Humidity (RH) Time

1 50° C 80% 40h

2 50° C 20% 40h

3 -10° C 20% 40h

It is the supplier’s responsibility to carry out these tests on ready-for-shipment master cartons!



10


6.6 Each master carton must be pasted with two labels in accordance with the Hama-specifi cations.

The labels sized DIN A5 (210x148mm) must be applied/pasted in the upper area as shown in this illustration:

1x top right in the front and 1x top left in the long side.

This identifi cation can be carried out by label or imprint. The labels must be designed in so that that the barcode is clearly readable. The change of the Hama-specifi cations is not allowed.

For smaller boxes, labels sized DIN A6 (148x105 mm) are permitted.

6.7 A cut-resistant insert of at least 450g/m² or same quality like the master carton must be inserted across the surface of the top and bottom of the master carton.

6.8 The package may not contain any indication of the supplier or the manufacturer (e.g. company logo or item number of the manufacturer).

6.9 If an item is distributed in more than one master carton, each individual carton must contain the same quantity.

The master carton which contains a different residual quantity must be identifi ed: • the barcode at the label on this master carton containing residual quantity must be voided. • the residual amount contained therein is to be applied.

6.10 Master carton dimensions Basically, box sizes which fi t modularly must be selected to ensure optimal use of the euro-pallets (800 mm x 1200 mm). The preferred external dimensions (length and width) of the master cartons are therefore as follows: 590mm x 390mm 390mm x 390mm 390mm x 290mm

7. Outer Packaging/Inner Carton


The outer packaging, hereinafter referred to as inner carton, has to be chosen to withstand transportation loads and to protect packed goods from damage.

7.1 Use carton or single-wall corrugated card board (thickness at maximum 3mm) as inner carton material. The quality of a master carton is not required for the inner box. 7.2 A cut-resistant insert of at least 450g/m² or same quality like the inner carton must be inserted across the surface of the top and bottom of the inner carton.

7.3 Staples and clamps are not permitted as seals for the inner carton.

7.4 For the same item, the inner carton must be of the same size and the same type of the unit. Each inner carton must be labelled in accordance with Hama-specifi cations. The label must be designed in such a way that the barcode is easy to read. The Hama-specifi cations cannot be changed.

7.5 The inner carton which contains a different residual quantity must be identifi ed: • the barcode at the label on this inner carton containing residual quantity must be voided. • the residual amount contained therein is to be applied.

11. Packaging Material and Recycling Code

11.1 Packaging and packaging components must meet the requirements of the German Packaging Ordinance (Packaging Ordinance = Verpackungsverordnung – „VerpackV“; Source: www.bmu.de). In particular, it must be ensured that the concentrations of heavy metals comply with the prescribed limits.

11.2 Hama, also known as importer on behalf of third parties, does not accept packaging materials which are made from wood coming from illegal sources, from overexploitation or undetectable origin.

11.3 Recyclable packaging material should be used, if possible corrugated cardboard, cardboard or paper. Composite materials should be avoided.

11.4 With the recycling code different materials are marked for the purpose of reintegrating them into the recycling cycle. The recycling code can be affi xed to packaging components in coordination with our product management. It consists of the recycling symbol which is composed of three (often green) arrows which are supposed to refl ect the recycling cycle, of an abbreviation which shows the material group and of a number which marks the material.
