Steel Export Packing & Shipping Support
Bao Steel supports export packing, bundle packing, coil packing, pallet protection, shipping marks, container loading coordination and loading photos for steel plate, steel coil, steel pipe, rebar, structural steel, wire rod and steel wire products. You can confirm packing method, package weight, surface protection, shipping marks, loading photos and shipment documents before the goods leave the warehouse.
Export Packing Should Match Product Form, Surface Risk and Receiving Method
Steel packing is not only wrapping material for shipment. Importers need the goods to arrive in a condition suitable for unloading, warehouse receiving, customs clearance, project inspection and downstream processing.
The correct packing method depends on product form, weight, surface sensitivity, loading method, destination route and the buyer’s handling equipment. Wrong packing can cause rust, white rust, edge damage, pipe end damage, bundle loosening, missing labels or unloading difficulty.
- ✓Confirm packing before order: coil, bundle, pallet, wooden reel, steel frame, pipe end cap or container loading method.
- ✓Use suitable protection for steel surface, coil edges, sheet edges, pipe ends, rebar bundles, structural sections and wire products.
- ✓Prepare shipping marks, labels, tags, package photos, loading photos and packing documents according to buyer requirements.
- ✓Coordinate packing with MTC, heat number, packing list, commercial invoice, certificate of origin and inspection documents when required.
