LCL stands for Less-than-Container Load. It's a shipping term used when cargo does not fill an entire shipping container. Rather than allocating individual containers to each shipper, multiple shipments from various senders are combined into a single container. This method is suitable for smaller shipments that don't require the use of a full container. LCL allows businesses to save costs by sharing container space and facilitates the transportation of smaller quantities of goods efficiently.

LCL Shipping allows the use of palletized boxes, crates, or small package boxes, providing flexibility to accommodate fluctuating demand and ensuring timely delivery of your cargo.
