pack of two hi-cube containers bearing the logos of two well known high street shops, Argos and Co-op.  These containers come in a weathered finish.

The development of containerisation after World War II has led to a huge increase in international trade. This was a direct result of the increased security, greater flexibility and importantly reduced transport costs that using standardised containers for freight logistics offered. Containers have allowed the safe transportation of goods from supplier to purchaser with the goods themselves being handled only once, no matter how many forms of transport are used.

Prior to containerisation goods would have to be handled at every node in the logistics chain from truck/train to boat/aeroplane to truck/train again and finally to customer. Containers come in five standard lengths 20’, 40’, 45’, 48’ and 53’, the latter two being more prevalent in the USA.
