How do you package your steel products?

Our steel products are packaged in a professional and reliable way to ensure they remain intact and undamaged during transportation and meet international export standards. According to different product types, we offer the following packaging solutions:

  1. (1) Steel plates (pressure vessel plates)
    • Waterproof packaging: The inner layer uses moisture-proof film or waterproof kraft paper to prevent moisture absorption or rusting during maritime transportation.
    • Corner protection: Steel edges or plastic corner protectors are used to prevent damage to the corners caused by collisions during transportation.
    • Binding and fixing: Securely bound with steel straps or plastic straps to ensure that the steel plates do not slide or deform during transportation.
    • Wooden pallets or steel brackets (according to customer requirements): Facilitate forklift loading and unloading and improve transportation efficiency.

(2) Pressure vessel caps or heads need to be reinforced with iron frames.

(3) Customized packaging

According to the special needs of customers, we can provide customized packaging services, such as thickened packaging, shockproof measures, identification labels, etc., to ensure that the products meet the customers' usage requirements and logistics environment.

Our packaging solutions can not only ensure the integrity of the products but also facilitate the storage and transportation operations of customers. You are welcome to contact us. If you have special packaging requirements, we will provide the best solutions according to your specific needs.
