Customized Package

Effective packaging solutions are crucial for preserving the quality of stainless steel sheets during transportation. The image showcases neatly stacked sheets wrapped in green protective covers and secured with strong straps, ensuring they remain intact.

Oil-Coated Paper

Secure packaging plays a vital role in maintaining the quality and integrity of metal pipes during storage and transportation. The image illustrates pipes wrapped in durable protective material to prevent surface damage and corrosion.

Thick Woven Plastic Bag

Efficient packaging ensures the safe transportation of stainless steel and alloy tubes. The image displays robust wooden crates used to secure and protect the tubes, minimizing damage during transit.

Air Cushion Film + Wooden Case

At Alloyxpert

  • Sheets and plates are wrapped in oil-coated paper for corrosion protection, placed on wooden pallets, and strapped securely to prevent shifting during transport.
  • Bars and rods are bundled together using thick woven plastic bags and carefully packed, ensuring each bundle weighs no more than 1500 KG for safe handling.
  • Tubes and pipes are packed in air cushion film to protect them from dirt and scratches. For added protection, they are placed in wooden cases to prevent damage during transit.
