Masterbatch Shipping FAQ: Packaging, Freight, and International Delivery

Packaging and International Delivery

Masterbatch is a globally traded product, and understanding packaging and shipping helps you plan logistics and cost. This FAQ covers how masterbatch is packaged and delivered.

How is masterbatch packaged?

Masterbatch is typically packed in 25 kg bags (inner PE liner + outer woven bag), 500–1000 kg bulk bags, or octabins. Packaging protects against moisture and contamination.

What shipping options are available?

Masterbatch ships by sea (most economical for large orders), air (fastest, for urgent or small orders), and express courier (for samples). Sea freight from China typically takes 20–40 days depending on destination.

What incoterms do you use?

Common incoterms include FOB (buyer arranges freight), CIF (supplier arranges freight and insurance), and DDP (supplier delivers duty-paid). MHK Color supports FOB, CIF, and DDP.

How is masterbatch palletized?

Masterbatch is palletized on standard 110×110 cm pallets, typically 1,000–1,250 kg per pallet, shrink-wrapped for stability during transit.

Is masterbatch subject to special shipping regulations?

Masterbatch is a non-hazardous plastic compound and ships as general cargo. No special dangerous-goods documentation is required for standard masterbatch.

How do I calculate shipping cost?

Shipping cost depends on volume, weight, destination, and incoterm. Request a freight quote from your supplier for accurate cost.
