How to Pack Aluminum Products (to Avoid Shipping Damage)

Chalco is a renowned enterprise dedicated to the production and sale of high-quality aluminum sheets, strips, foils, and related aluminum alloy products.

As an exporter, we possess extensive knowledge of various aluminum packaging methods, ensuring your goods remain intact throughout the transportation process.

We are adept at employing packaging techniques tailored to different product characteristics and shipping distances.

At Chalco, customer satisfaction is paramount, and we are committed to accommodating specific packaging requirements and preferences.

Sheet packaging

Bottom locking, standard box, plywood, and corner protection styles

When using bottom locking, standard box, plywood, or corner protection packaging methods for aluminum sheets, start by laying a layer of plastic film at the bottom of the packaging box.   Next, place a layer of neutral (or weakly acidic) moisture-resistant paper or other moisture-resistant materials.

Then, follow one of the following methods to load the sheets into the packaging box:

a) Apply oil and place paper between the sheets before packing.

b) Apply oil and pack the sheets without using paper between them.

c) Pack the sheets without applying oil but with paper or foam plastic sheets between them.

d) Pack the sheets without applying oil or using paper between them.

e) Pack the sheets after applying surface film.

After the sheets are packed, wrap the pre-laid packaging materials tightly upwards, seal the joints with adhesive tape, cover the top with a layer of plastic film, and secure it with adhesive tape.   Then, add a cover (with protective corners) and fasten it with steel straps.

Simple or bare item packaging

For simple packaging, wrap the sheets with a layer of neutral (or weakly acidic) moisture-resistant paper or other moisture-resistant material, and a layer of plastic film.   After sealing, place them on the bottom cushion and secure them with steel straps.

For bare item packaging, place the sheets directly on the bottom cushion and secure them with steel straps.

Packaging methods for aluminum strips

Vertical standard box or vertical bottom locking

When using the vertical standard box or vertical bottom locking packaging method for aluminum strips, wrap the strips with a layer of neutral (or weakly acidic) moisture-resistant paper or other moisture-resistant material, and a layer of plastic film.   Place a desiccant inside the roll core and seal the plastic film with adhesive tape.

Load the strips vertically into the packaging box, or they can also be stacked in multiple rolls and then placed into the box.   Finally, cover the box and seal it securely.

Horizontal bottom locking

When using the horizontal bottom locking packaging method for aluminum strips, wrap the strips with a layer of neutral (or weakly acidic) moisture-resistant paper or other moisture-resistant material, and a layer of plastic film.

Place a desiccant inside the roll core and seal the plastic film with adhesive tape.   Load the strips horizontally into the packaging box, or they can also be stacked in multiple rolls and then placed into the box.   Finally, cover the box and seal it securely.

Crisscross wooden pallet packaging

When packaging in a horizontal crisscross wooden pallet style, the strip is first wrapped with a layer of neutral (or slightly acidic) moisture-resistant paper or other moisture-resistant material, followed by a layer of plastic film.   Inside the core of the roll, a desiccant is placed.

The plastic film is sealed with adhesive tape, and the outermost layer is covered with hardboard (or fiberboard).

Subsequently, the strip is secured onto the horizontal crisscross wooden pallet using steel strapping (or plastic steel strapping), or multiple rolls are connected and fixed onto the horizontal crisscross wooden pallet.

Vertical palletization

When using the vertical palletization method for aluminum strips, wrap the strips with a layer of neutral (or weakly acidic) moisture-resistant paper and a layer of plastic film.

Place a desiccant inside the roll core and seal the plastic film with adhesive tape.   Then, cover the outside with hardboard (or fiberboard) and secure the aluminum strips vertically on the pallet using steel straps (or plastic-coated steel straps).

Alternatively, multiple rolls can be connected and fixed vertically on the pallet.
