Moisture Is the Most Expensive Thing in the Box
Most cargo damage is not caused by impact or theft; it is caused by water that was never visible at the loading dock. A sealed container, a barrier bag, a crate of electronics or a drum of pharmaceutical intermediate all carry moisture in their air and packing materials, and as that package crosses climate zones the humidity cycles, condenses on cold surfaces and attacks the goods, surface rust on steel, mould on textiles, corrosion on circuit boards, delamination on packaging, label lift on pharma. A desiccant is the small, cheap component that decides whether the consignment arrives saleable or written off.
The mistake buyers make is treating "a desiccant" as one commodity. It is not. The right desiccant depends on the moisture load, the humidity range, the temperature, the duration and the sensitivity of the goods, and choosing the wrong type, or the wrong quantity, is how containers still arrive wet despite carrying desiccant. BENZ Packaging exists to specify the correct desiccant for the exact application, and to manufacture it to the standards that customs authorities, OEMs and cargo insurers recognise worldwide.
