Reading A 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 goodsgoods subject to breakage, goods subject to moisture, goods with still other special treatment in transitrequire different types of packing. Thats 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”.Text An Introduction to PackingPacking 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 buyers special requirement.在對外貿(mào)易中，包裝起了很重要的作用。恰當?shù)貋碚f，包裝對于貨物的作用就如同衣服對于人類。包裝不僅起到了保護的作用，還對貨物的裝卸、存儲提供了方便，并可以防止貨物失竊的發(fā)生。此外，包裝還能促進商品的銷售。包裝可分為運輸包裝（通常稱為外部包裝）和銷售包裝（通常稱作內(nèi)部包裝）。運輸包裝主要是為了保證貨物在運輸過程中完好無損。運輸包裝不僅僅要足夠結(jié)實，從而避免貨物的損壞，而且還要防盜、易于存儲和裝卸。銷售包裝主要是為了促進銷售。在家庭用品的銷售上，人們現(xiàn)在普遍認為包裝的作用至關重要。只要外表美觀、易于攜帶并促進銷售，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)國的標示，也沒有原產(chǎn)商標，目的是逃避進口國的關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 consignees own distinctive marks including the consignees 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識以便于貨物的確認和運輸。出口包裝主要有三種主要的標識：（1）收貨人的標識，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示。例如，一些國家要求每件包裝上都要標明貨物的原產(chǎn)國、重量和尺寸；（3）特殊的指示或警示標志。例如，有關警示標識應印在包裝上，以方便收貨人和承運人，如“此端向上”、“請勿掉落”和“請于此處打開”等。 對內(nèi)部包裝的要求越來越高，主要集中在顏色鮮艷、設計新穎和易于攜帶這幾個方面。內(nèi)部包裝的主要目的是促進特殊商品的銷售。 相關的合同上必須準確無誤地規(guī)定包裝方式、包裝材料以及包裝成本等細節(jié)問題，買賣雙方應該嚴格遵守。包裝問題的規(guī)定應簡明扼要。任何對合同規(guī)定的有關包裝問題的修改，雙方都應商談后再進行包裝。Task 2 Read the passage. Choose from the following expressions and fill in the appropriate.For the purpose of export, the marks on outer packing usually include: consignees code name, country of origin, warning marks, weight and dimensionsGood packaging can aid market, because it has: creative design; beautiful colorContract concerning packing should include details such as: manner of packing; packing cost; packing materialsTask 3 Read the passage again and tick off the facts that you have to take into consideration in outer packing.Task 4 Besides concerns for the functions, companies must also pay attention the socialrelated issues when making decisions on packing.

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 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. Ill try to find the reason.

Longfellow has ordered some lotus nuts from China National Cereal. He is not sure what kind of packing would be suitable for the lotus nuts. Practice making a conversation with the help of the instructions below.5. Reading B TaskLabelLabels 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 productwho 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 1Read the passage and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).Task 2Match the following terms with their Chinese meanings.Task 3Translate the following passage into Chinese.貨物價格通常包括包裝費用?！鞍ǔ隹诎b”這一用語，意即價包括適合出口的包裝費用。如所報價格不包括包裝費用，那么“出口包裝費用由買方負擔”一語應列入合同中。6.
