The atomizer disc is a very thin ceramic component, susceptible to cracking from vibration or impact. The internal packaging must provide a buffer around the atomizer disc—ensure the transducer does not come into direct contact with the unit’s housing. Furthermore, avoid placing heavy objects on the side of the water tank during palletizing or stacking.
Humidifier shipments peak during the autumn and winter months. For manufacturers, the greatest concern isn’t production capacity, but rather the scenario where a shipment arrives at a client’s warehouse only for them to discover a cracked water tank or water ingress in the base unit.
Do not schedule shipments until all required certifications are in place.
Ensure compliance with CE and RoHS standards based on the target market, and verify that the voltage and plug type match the destination country’s specifications. The packaging must clearly display the model number, rated power, and water tank capacity; also, ensure that recycling symbols are included.
### What documentation and labeling are required for export?
### What should be emphasized in the user manual?
Because the base is heavy and the main unit is relatively light, they are prone to colliding if packed together. Use a layered approach: place the base at the bottom and the main unit on top, separated by a corrugated cardboard divider. Power cords and adapters should be placed in separate bags—never tuck them inside the water tank.
### Is there a risk of the water tank leaking during transit?
Water quality and maintenance are critical. Using tap water in a humidifier often leads to scale buildup; the user manual should clearly specify recommended water types, cleaning intervals, and instructions for maintaining the atomizer disc. Vague instructions in this area will inevitably lead to a high volume of after-sales support inquiries.
### How should the base and the main unit be secured separately?
Yes, leaks can occur—though often not because the tank itself is cracked, but because the lid was not properly locked into place. Secure the water tank lid with dedicated clips rather than relying solely on foam padding to hold it in position. Before leaving the factory, perform an inversion test: fill the tank with water and leave it upside down for two hours—not a single drop should leak.
