Pick and Pack

Logistics Terms

Definition

A warehouse fulfillment process where individual items are selected from inventory (pick) and packaged for shipment (pack). In time-critical logistics, pick-and-pack speed is critical — FlashGL operates dedicated OBC staging areas at major hub airports where pre-positioned inventory can be picked, packed, and handed to a courier within 60 minutes. For recurring AOG parts, pre-packed kits are maintained in bonded storage, eliminating the pick step entirely.

How should I package my shipment? +

Use a sturdy outer box or case with internal cushioning that prevents movement during transit. For OBC shipments, remember the courier must be able to hand-carry the package through airports, so a practical size and secure closure matter.

Special cargo has additional requirements: temperature-sensitive goods travel in validated thermal containers we can supply; fragile electronics should use anti-static and shock-absorbing packaging; dangerous goods must follow IATA DGR packing instructions — our team confirms the correct packaging class before pickup.

Not sure? Send us photos and dimensions of your item, and our operations desk will advise the right packaging — or arrange professional packing at origin.

How does FlashGL ensure the security and chain of custody for OBC shipments? +

Every OBC shipment is protected by tamper-evident seals applied at pickup and verified at delivery. The courier maintains physical custody throughout transit — your package never leaves human hands.

We provide real-time GPS tracking, and every handoff is documented with signed proof of custody transfer. For defense or dual-use items, additional security protocols and end-to-end documentation are applied.
