Without adequate protection, the finishing machine might be severely damaged or scratched; paint will be removed on some edges, even destroyed when the goods arrive at the destination port.

Why Packing is Important?

After years of experience in the surface finishing industry, we realize that packing is an essential part of the package purchasing and production process.

Without enough attention to the packing details, it can be disastrous. We learned our lesson from the significant loss in the past years, even though we made machines the excellent quality.

Generally, there are two good points for the careful packing of the products. On the one hand, good packing can provide enough protection to the paper boxes inside, ensuring product safety.

On the other hand, careful packing can reduce the paper boxes’ final volume and reduce the shipping and warehouse costs.

Protection during the shipping

The wooden box might also be spoiled or damped by the seawater during the sea shipment. And this is why insurance is important too.

Also, we need to take into the stacking strength of the outer cartons. The rigid boxes inside the bottom cartons might be crushed and damaged under too much pressure from the above cartons. It’s important when the media’s height is over 2.5m in the 40″ HC container.

When the pallets are stacked too high, they might fall and break. To provide the best protection to the tumbling media bag inside, we media bags on the pallets, use the plastic/metal strap around the pallets and then use the wrapping films around the pallets to avoid falling. Sometimes, we load the pallets no more than 1.7mm in height.

Cost reduction for the sea, air freight

The sea freight of mass finishing machines, tumbling media, and polishing compound are usually charged based on the volume weight. The air shipment is not recommended because the unit kg delivery cost is just too high, around 5USD.

Usually, our cartons and pallets are custom-made and selected to make the room’s best use inside the container and cartons. We also let our workers arrange the boxes inside the cartons to reduce the final volume of the products.

Our worker can put parts of tumbling media into a vibratory machine bowl or put tumbling media in a bulk bag to further save space.

Sample Shipment and Delivery

The shipment of the mass finishing machine, tumbling media, and polishing compound might be a big concern for you if this is the first time you import China’s products. It is relatively easy. For the export of our machines and consumables, we usually do the FOB terms.
