A standard 40-foot container can accommodate 22 standard pallets and a 20-foot container can accommodate 10 pallets.
If you are transporting a large number of goods and can fill containers, it makes sense to choose FCL (Full Container Loading).
Another benefit of full container loading is that your items are stored separately from the rest of the importers.
On the other hand, consolidation (less-than-containerload) means shipping your goods in containers that share space with other shipments.
If you are happy with this, consolidation shipping (also known as LCL) offers a more economical way to ship small quantities of cargo that are less than half the size of a fully loaded container.
