Containerization is the logistics practice of transporting goods in standardized, sealed containers to simplify handling, improve security, and enable seamless movement across multiple transportation modes such as ships, trains, and trucks.
An electronics company loads thousands of units into a 40-foot container at its manufacturing site in Asia. The container is shipped via ocean freight, transferred seamlessly to a rail network, and finally trucked to a U.S. distribution center — all without repacking the goods.

The two most common standard container sizes are the 20-foot equivalent unit (TEU) and the 40-foot equivalent unit (FEU). Specialized sizes also exist for refrigerated or oversized cargo.
Containerization drastically lowered shipping costs, shortened delivery times, and expanded international trade by standardizing and streamlining logistics across industries.
Containerization refers specifically to the use of standardized containers, while intermodal transportation involves moving those containers across different modes of transport without unloading the cargo.
