A container may spend weeks at sea, through changes in temperature and humidity, before it reaches its destination. Packing is what makes sure the parts that left the factory are the parts that arrive.
Layer by layer
- Inner protection — parts are bagged by lot or size in poly bags, with VCI (volatile corrosion inhibitor) paper or film for plated and polished items. Fragile threads can be separated with dividers.
- Cartons — strong export-grade cartons, sized so that weight stays manageable for handling. Overfilled cartons crush and split.
- Pallets or crates — cartons are stacked evenly, strapped and shrink-wrapped. Heavier or high-value parts may be shipped in wooden cases.
Moisture is the enemy
Condensation can form inside a container when temperature drops. Desiccants, VCI packaging and sealed bags reduce the risk of tarnish and spotting, which matters most for polished and plated brass.
Wood packaging rules
Most countries require wooden pallets and crates to be treated and stamped under ISPM 15, the international standard for wood packaging. Untreated wood can be refused at the border, so we use compliant packing materials.
Marking and labelling
Each carton should carry the part number, quantity, lot number and "Made in India", plus any buyer barcode or label. Clear marking speeds up warehouse receiving and customs checks.
Loading the container
Heavy cartons go at the bottom, weight is distributed evenly and gaps are filled to prevent movement. We can share photographs of the loaded container before it is sealed.
