How many pounds of pistachios fit in a shipping container? Plan your order with accurate weight, pallet, and cost breakdowns.
TEU — Most common for LCL & pilot orders
FEU — Best value for full container loads
Each square = 1 standard pallet (48" × 40")
Pistachios should be shipped in ventilated containers at 0-5°C for journeys exceeding 14 days. Reefer containers are recommended for tropical routes.
Maximum 8 cartons high for 25lb boxes, 6 high for 50lb bags. Use dunnage and corner boards to prevent shift during transit.
Using 25lb retail cases instead of 50lb bulk bags allows tighter packing and can increase usable container capacity by 8-12%.
Container max gross weight varies by shipping line (typically 44,000 lbs for 20ft). Always confirm with your carrier. VGM (Verified Gross Mass) declaration is mandatory under SOLAS.
