Four Tiers of Part Protection

We match the packaging method to the part — considering material type, surface finish sensitivity, geometry complexity, and transit duration to select the right level of protection.

Standard
Corrosion Guard
Precision Nesting
Export Crating

Standard

General production parts with standard surface finish. Cost-effective protection for domestic and short-haul shipments.
- Individual polybag wrapping
- PE foam dividers
- Double-wall corrugated carton
Corrosion Guard

Steel, cast iron and other parts that can rust in transit, and any shipment going by sea. Parts are cleaned, dried and sealed against moisture.
- VCI bags or VCI paper
- Rust-preventive oil on bare steel
- Desiccant packs in the carton
Precision Nesting

Parts with critical surfaces, sealing faces or fine features. Each part sits in its own cavity so parts never touch in transit.
- Custom-cut foam inserts
- Individual trays or compartment boxes
- Protective caps on threads and bores
Export Crating

Large, heavy or high-value shipments travelling by air or sea freight. Cartons are braced inside an export crate.
- Plywood export crate
- Internal bracing and blocking
- Part number, quantity and handling marks on every crate
