Protect BOX Global

ProtectBOX Global is the global version of NX's proprietary transport equipment, designed to balance improved transport quality with environmental considerations. It utilizes a lightweight yet durable honeycomb core material and can be used in land, sea, and air transport modes.

Solution Overview

International shipping involves longer transport distances and times, as well as more handling, which increases the risk of cargo damage compared to domestic shipping. ProtectBOX Global uses a strong yet lightweight honeycomb core material to securely protect cargo, and as a returnable container, it can be reused repeatedly, reducing material costs and environmental impact.

Solution Overview
Service TypeNX's original, specially developed transport equipment (returnable logistics containers/RTI) - global specifications
Supported transport modesSupports sea transport (20ft/40ft containers), air transport (AKE/ULD), and rail transport (12ft containers).
Materials and structureFeatures a strong yet lightweight honeycomb core material (TECCELL®) *Manufactured by Gifu Plastics Industry Co., Ltd.
LineupTwo types are available: Normal type (with pallet) and Light type (without pallet).
Tariff preferential treatmentComplies with the re-export exemption system for container tariffs (prior procedures with customs are required. The system varies depending on the importing and exporting country).

Implementation effects

  • Preventing damage or soiling of cargo

    The lightweight yet strong honeycomb core material provides all-around coverage, preventing cargo from being soiled or damaged by external factors. It also supports double-stacked loading into shipping containers, providing robust protection against vibrations and shocks during transport.

  • Cost reduction for materials, waste, and labor.

    This eliminates the need for packaging materials such as stretch film, wooden crates, and wooden boxes, simultaneously reducing material purchase costs, disposal costs after use, and labor costs for packaging. Combining this with LCL (Less than Container Load) shipping can further reduce transportation costs.

  • Reducing environmental impact

    Because it can be reused as a returnable logistics container (RTI), it reduces the waste of disposable logistics containers and lowers the environmental impact. It can also be used as a solution for SDGs and ESG compliance.

  • Standardization of work processes

    It can be assembled and folded by one person, reducing the time required for loading and unloading containers. Standardization of work operations reduces variations from site to site, ensuring consistent quality.

Supported transport modes and number of units

This is an estimate of the maximum number of containers/ULDs that can be loaded for each type of transport: sea, air, and rail.
