Shipping & Delivery
Urban Plastic boasts a proficient transportation and shipping team dedicated to timely deliveries. Our team consistently prioritizes adherence to delivery schedules to guarantee customer satisfaction.
Port of Loading
Urban Plastic exports our products via two primary ports in Indonesia: Tanjung Priok Port in Jakarta and Tanjung Perak Port in Surabaya.
How We Ship the Product
Our plastic products are normally shipped by sea freight in two ways:
1. By FCL (Full Container Loaded) using 20 feet, 40 feet, 40 feet HC, dry container.
We commonly use 20-feet, 40-feet, or 40-feet HC containers to export our plastic products. The attached image shows planter bags loaded inside a 20-feet container.

2. By LCL (Less than Container Loaded)
In the image above, the packaging method of UV plastic bags for LCL (Less than Container Load) shipments, either by sea or air, is depicted. In this process the UV plastic is arranged in an orderly fashion on a plastic pallet. Next, these items are firmly tied together using straps, which are used repeatedly to ensure their stability. Finally, the entire assembly is thoroughly wrapped several times with plastic wrap, providing additional protection and security during transit.
LCL shipment is arranged by freight forwarder who will combine our stuff with others people stuff in one container.
Please see illustration on the picture. On LCL shipment Mr. Clark’ stuff would be together with Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Thomas and Ms. Lopez stuff in same container.
LCL shipment is used for order under the minimum quantity from the 20 feet or 40 feet order. For example: 10 bales order. Your order will still deliver using the 20 feet container but it will be combined with other people’s stuff from another exporter such as furniture, food, clothes, etc. This LCL shipment makes the transport cost still cheap compare to air freight.
Our cost on LCL shipment is different from our cost using the full container (FCL) because our FOB cost on LCL is higher than using FCL so that our price is also different. Why this happens, let me explain on simple example:
On FCL we can carry approximately 500 bales of Planter bags, with cost $45,000 so that our cost for FOB per bale is = $45,000/500 = $90/bale.
Meanwhile if you only order 10 bales shipped by LCL with our FOB cost $1,200 then our FOB cost = $1,200/10 = $120/bale.
The smaller the order, the higher the cost is.
