The containerization system developed from a design of an cube units used by the United States' military and later standardised by extension to , , and lengths.

Industry and government are concerned about the capacity of ports and terminals, and the highways, rail lines, and waterways that serve them, to handle steadily increasing volumes of intermodal traffic, especially containerized freight. The volume of intermodal containers moving through ports worldwide doubled over the past decade. Similarly, the volume of intermodal freight moved by air, rail, and truck grew just as dramatically. Over the next two decades, volumes are expected to nearly double again. Today's intermodal freight system is not equipped to handle this growth. Ineffective links among modes are degrading ... industry trends, business articles and survey research

There are four clusters of electronic seals, representing four methods of communicating between the seal and its "reader:" radio frequency identification (RFID), infrared, direct contact, and very long range cellular or satellite. All but the simplest solutions are capable of reporting sensor information and data that goes beyond seal status and ID. RFID technologies are most common among electronic seals. Fundamentally, they marry RFID transponders or their components with manual seal components. There are two main types of RFID tags and seals, passive and active.
