What does Case (CA) mean?

In shipping, a case generally refers to a container used to transport or store goods. The term can be used to refer to various types of containers, including boxes, crates, or other types of packaging materials. 

 

Cases are typically designed to protect the goods they contain during transportation and storage. They may be made of various materials, such as wood, metal, plastic, or cardboard, depending on the type of goods being transported and the mode of transportation. 

 

The size and shape of cases can vary widely, depending on the needs of the shipper and the requirements of the transportation network. For example, cases used in airfreight may need to meet specific size and weight restrictions, while cases used in ocean freight may need to be designed to withstand the rigors of long-term exposure to saltwater and other harsh environmental conditions.
