Product reworking
We can split and redistribute products to suit new packaging requirements. Services include:

- Split consignments and repackage.
- Creation and application of barcode labels.
- Shrink wrapping.
- Palletisation of goods.
- Customised and fully scalable services.
Pallet picking
Also known as unit load picking, this service is ideal for companies wishing to store products in bulk, which can then be reworked and redistributed to their final destination.
Container offloading and de-stuffing
IFL has the infrastructure and staff to handle container offloading. At our Birmingham hub, we have a large distribution warehouse and service yard with excellent access. Some containers – those received from the Far East, for example – will also need destuffing as cartons are often stacked loosely and will require re-palletising to enable secure onward shipping of your cargo. Not all forwarding companies have the capability to accept goods in this way but International Forwarding does offer this.
Safety and security
- All goods are stored in our fully alarmed, dry and clean warehouse.
- Our site has a full CCTV system with a hard drive recording back-up.
- We are fully perimeter fenced.
- Certified uniformed security guards patrol regularly during closed hours.
- All goods are inspected on arrival, and any damage or discrepancies reported.
