Background Information
Packing is of particular importance in foreign trade because ocean voyages may be most damaging to the goods that are not properly packed. Accident, rough weather, unloading, reloading and pilferage, everything on the way has to be taken into consideration to ensure the safe arrival of the goods. Different types of goods—goods subject to breakage, goods subject to moisture, goods with still other special treatment in transit—require different types of packing. That’s why some large export forms have a special department for export packing and the whole question is under regular review. Many firms employ special export packers or forwarding agents to do their packing for them.
Task 1
Before reading the passage, see how much you know about packing by answering the following questions.
1. What is the purpose of packing?
Packing serves as a form of protection, facilitates loading, unloading and storage, and prevents pilferage; furthermore, it can promote sales.
2. How many types of packing are usually used in international trade?
Packing can be divided into transport packing (usually known as outer packing) and sales packing (usually known as inner packing). Still, there is another category of packing, called “neutral packing”.

An Introduction to Packing
Packing is of great importance in international trade. It may be appropriately said that packing is to goods what clothing is to men. Packing not only serves as a form of protection, but also facilitates loading, unloading and stowage, and prevents pilferage. Furthermore it can promote sales. Packing can be divided into transport packing (usually known as outer packing) and sales packing (usually known as inner packing). Transport packing is done mainly to keep the goods safe and sound during transportation. It must not only be solid enough to prevent the packed goods from any damage, but also be pilferage-proof, easy to store and convenient to load and unload. Sales packing is done mainly to push sales. It is now universally recognized as a decisive aid in selling household consumer goods. It can be realized in various forms and with different materials as long as it is nice to look at, easy to handle and helpful to the sales. Still, there is another category of packing, called “neutral packing”. This kind of packing carries no mark of the name of the original country of the packed goods and no signs of the original trademark, with the view to elude the tariff of the import country or satisfy the buyer’s special requirement.
在對(duì)外貿(mào)易中,包裝起了很重要的作用。恰當(dāng)?shù)貋碚f,包裝對(duì)于貨物的作用就如同衣服對(duì)于人類。包裝不僅起到了保護(hù)的作用,還對(duì)貨物的裝卸、存儲(chǔ)提供了方便,并可以防止貨物失竊的發(fā)生。此外,包裝還能促進(jìn)商品的銷售。包裝可分為運(yùn)輸包裝(通常稱為外部包裝)和銷售包裝(通常稱作內(nèi)部包裝)。運(yùn)輸包裝主要是為了保證貨物在運(yùn)輸過程中完好無損。運(yùn)輸包裝不僅僅要足夠結(jié)實(shí),從而避免貨物的損壞,而且還要防盜、易于存儲(chǔ)和裝卸。銷售包裝主要是為了促進(jìn)銷售。在家庭用品的銷售上,人們現(xiàn)在普遍認(rèn)為包裝的作用至關(guān)重要。只要外表美觀、易于攜帶并促進(jìn)銷售,銷售包裝外表可以五花八門,材料也可以各種各樣。另外還有一種包裝稱作“中性包裝”。這種包裝外表沒有貨物原產(chǎn)國的標(biāo)示,也沒有原產(chǎn)商標(biāo),目的是逃避進(jìn)口國的關(guān)稅或滿足買方的特殊要求。
Outer packing must be strikingly marked to facilitate identification and transportation. There are three principal types of marking which may have to be done on export package:
(1) The consignee’s own distinctive marks including the consignee’s initials, usually in a square, circle, triangle or diamond, and the name of the port of destination;
(2) Any official mark required by authorities. For example, some countries require the name of the original country of the goods to be marked on every package, and weight and dimensions may also be required;
(3) Special directions or warnings. For example, various warnings are to be stenciled on the packages for the benefit of both the owner and the carrier, such as THIS SIDE UP, DO NOT DROP, and OPEN THIS SIDE.
Requirement for inner packing is increasingly high, with beautiful color, creative design and convenient handling as its chief concern. The primary motive for inner packing is to promote the sales of the particular goods.
Details such as manner of packing, kinds of packing materials and the burden of packing cost should be unmistakably stipulated in the contract concerned and strictly observed by both the selling side and the buying side. Letter about packing issues should be concise and clear. Any changes regarding packing stipulated in the contract should be mutually discussed and determined before packing.
外部包裝必須突出明顯的標(biāo)識(shí)以便于貨物的確認(rèn)和運(yùn)輸。出口包裝主要有三種主要的標(biāo)識(shí):
(1)收貨人的標(biāo)識(shí),包括收貨人首寫字母,通常寫在正方形、圓形、三角形或菱形圖案內(nèi),此外還要注明目的港;
(2)官方要求的所有正式標(biāo)示。例如,一些國家要求每件包裝上都要標(biāo)明貨物的原產(chǎn)國、重量和尺寸;
(3)特殊的指示或警示標(biāo)志。例如,有關(guān)警示標(biāo)識(shí)應(yīng)印在包裝上,以方便收貨人和承運(yùn)人,如“此端向上”、“請(qǐng)勿掉落”和“請(qǐng)于此處打開”等。
對(duì)內(nèi)部包裝的要求越來越高,主要集中在顏色鮮艷、設(shè)計(jì)新穎和易于攜帶這幾個(gè)方面。內(nèi)部包裝的主要目的是促進(jìn)特殊商品的銷售。
相關(guān)的合同上必須準(zhǔn)確無誤地規(guī)定包裝方式、包裝材料以及包裝成本等細(xì)節(jié)問題,買賣雙方應(yīng)該嚴(yán)格遵守。包裝問題的規(guī)定應(yīng)簡明扼要。任何對(duì)合同規(guī)定的有關(guān)包裝問題的修改,雙方都應(yīng)商談后再進(jìn)行包裝。

Miss Brown: Good morning, Mr. Grey. Welcome to our company.
Mr. Grey: Good morning, Miss Brown. My purpose of coming here today is to talk about the 1 with you.
Miss Brown: OK. So, what’s your idea about it?
Mr. Grey: The products we ordered from you are very 2 , so we’ve got to be very careful. I suggest we use 3 4 .
Miss Brown: Well, I think cartons are better for goods like this.
Mr. Grey: Cartons? I’m afraid cartons are not strong enough for 5 6 .
Miss Brown: Surely we can use wooden cases if you want us to, but the charge would be much higher.
Mr. Grey: It doesn’t matter how much the 7 will be. I just want to have my goods safely packed.
Script
Miss Brown: Good morning, Mr. Grey. Welcome to our company.
Mr. Grey: Good morning, Miss Brown. My purpose of coming here today is to talk about the packing with you.
Miss Brown: OK. So, what’s your idea about it?
Mr. Grey: The products we ordered from you are very fragile, so we’ve got to be very careful. I suggest we use wooden cases.
Miss Brown: Well, I think cartons are better for goods like this.
Mr. Grey: Cartons? I’m afraid cartons are not strong enough for heavy loads.
Miss Brown: Surely we can use wooden cases if you want us to, but the charge would be much higher.
Mr. Grey: It doesn’t matter how much the freight will be. I just want to have my goods safely packed.
Miss Brown: Good, then we’ll use wooden cases.
Task 2
Mr. Grey is talking to Miss Brown about changing packing materials. Listen to the conversation and match the people with the correct information.
Script
Miss Brown: Good morning, Mr. Grey. Nice to meet you again.
Mr. Grey: Nice to meet you, too. The main purpose of my visit today is to discuss the outer packing of our goods again.
Miss Brown: What’s wrong?
Mr. Grey: We agreed to pack the goods in wooden cases last time, but recently our government has prohibited wooden packing materials. Could you pack in corrugated cardboard boxes?
Miss Brown: Sure. In fact our standard carton has been approved by many foreign clients.
Mr. Grey: But will it be strong enough for long distance transportation?
Miss Brown: Of course. We use iron straps for reinforcement. And each carton is lined with waterproof paper.
Mr. Grey: That sounds good. Thanks for your detailed explanation.
Miss Brown: My pleasure.
Task 3
Mr. Grey is talking to Miss Brown about a problem occurred in packing. Listen to the conversation and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).
Script
Mr. Grey: Hello, Miss Brown. I made this special trip here to have a look at the packing of our products because in the last shipment we received, there were a few items damaged by dampness.
Miss Brown: I’m sorry for that, but it’s something unusual. We have taken care of them and improved the packing.
Mr. Grey: Could you be more specific?
Miss Brown: Although we used cartons, we had taken measures to prevent them from dampness. We had lined them with plastic sheets on the inside.
Mr. Grey: Oh, maybe it was caused by other factors. I’ll try to find the reason. One more thing, how about putting a “Keep Dry” mark on the outside?
Miss Brown: Sure, no problem.
Mr. Grey: Thanks for your time and efforts.
Task 4
Listen to the conversation and fill in the blanks with what you hear.
Script
Mr. Grey: My visit today is to discuss the marks on the outer packing.
Miss Brown: Well, the dimension of our carton is 50 cm high, 60 cm wide and 70 cm long. The gross weight is 15 kg, while the net weight is 13 kg. Do you have other requirements?
Mr. Grey: I’d like you to stencil “Handle with Care”, “Fragile” and any other relative marks on the cartons.
Miss Brown: Sure. No need to worry about that.
Mr. Grey: Also, will you stencil “Made in China” on the packing?
Miss Brown: OK. We’ll do as instructed.
Mr. Grey: Thank you.

5. Reading B
Task
Label
Labels are often attached to the package. They may range from simple tags attached to products to complex graphics that are part of the package. They perform several functions, and the seller has to decide which ones to use. At the very least, label identifies the product or brand, such as the name “Sunkist” stamped on oranges. Label might also grade the product and describe several things about the product—who made it, where it was made, when it was made, what it contains, how it is to be used, and how it can be used safely. Finally, label might promote the product through attractive graphics.
Label of well-known brands may seem old fashioned after a while and may need freshening up. For example, the label on Ivory Soap has been redone 18 times since the 1890s, but simply with gradual changes in the lettering. In contrast, the label on Orange Crush soft drink was changed substantially when its competitors’ labels began to picture fresh fruits and pull in more sales. Orange Crush developed a label with new symbols and much stronger, deeper colors to suggest freshness and more orange flavor.
Culture difference is another significant element in designing label. For example, sales of a highly successful brand of canned beer suddenly dropped in a certain part of Central Africa, coinciding with a change in the size and shape of the can containing the beer. It turned out that the old cans were widely used as oil lamps and for a variety of other strange purpose. The new cans could not be adapted in these ways.
Labeling has been affected in recent times by unit pricing, open dating and nutritional labeling. The Nutritional Labeling and Educational Act of 1990 required sellers to provide detailed nutritional information on food products, and it regulated the use of health-related terms such as low fat, light, and high fiber. Sellers must ensure that their labels contain all the required information.
Task 1

Task 2

Task 3
Translate the following passage into Chinese.
