The standard packing for stainless steel panels involves measures to protect the sheets from damage during transportation. Normally they are packed in wooden crates or on wooden pallets, wooden pallets are commonly used for FCL (full container load) with low cost. Each panel may be covered with a protective film or paper to prevent scratch. After that, edge protectors are used to shield the edges which is made of galvanized panels. Then use metal strapping or bands to prevent movement. Labeling is required after packing, which shows stainless steel grade, dimensions, quantity, and so on. For special requirements, the customized packing is necessary and optional. Totally the packing process should adhere to industry standards and regulations.

For LCL (less container load), it is acceptable. But packing should be taken more care to ensure without any damage during transportation. Moreover, it’s better remind your shipping agent about the weight, because it’s easy to damage other material if without well-protection in container. Therefore we suggest FCL if possible.
