It's a good idea also to place heavier items at the bottom of container and lighter ones on the top. Also, keep flammable items away from other items and anything that might be in contact with liquids, such as for example, chemicals.

The double doors at both ends of tunnel containers allow easy access to items inside the container, which is where you may have difficulty with the typical shipping container.
