The most important factor when stuffing a container is to ensure that all the items you require can fit comfortably inside the container. This will reduce the damage your cargo might suffer from compression or shifting during transportation. You should allow enough space for the handling and inspection of your cargo. The container should be inspected to ensure that the seal is still intact and that all doors are closed.
The tunnel container also permits you to access the items from both ends. This is crucial because it reduces time and makes it easier to move your goods in and out of the container. This feature is especially useful if the container is being used as a shopfront, or for security reasons.
