Stuffing

What is stuffing?

Stuffing is the act of loading a container.

A supplier will stuff an FCL container at their premises. An LCL (less than container load) container will be stuffed at a CFS (Container Freight Station).

An empty shipping container with both rear doors open, showing the bare wooden floor and corrugated steel interior ready for loading.

The container will be de-stuffed, or devanned, at the destination.
