What is the minimum thickness recommended for dunnage?

The recommended minimum thickness for dunnage is 3/4 inch since this dimension provides sufficient strength and stability to support and protect cargo during transport. Dunnage is used to prevent movement of goods, absorb shocks, and promote proper weight distribution within shipping containers. This thickness strikes a balance between being sturdy enough to withstand the rigors of handling and transport while remaining manageable for ease of use and placement. Thinner materials may not provide the necessary support, whereas options thicker than 3/4 inch could add unnecessary weight and bulk, complicating handling and logistics.
