Long metal profiles create distinct risks: sharp ends, surface scratches and bundles opening during handling. Corrosion exposure also depends on the storage period and environment.
Identify the product-specific risk
Separate profiles by length and section. Use separators at contact points and suitable guards on exposed ends. Select strapping and packaging compatible with the surface finish.
Match inner protection, closure and pallet pattern
Support long bundles along their length and limit movement in likely shift directions. Stretch film may gather light pieces; it does not replace mechanical restraint for a heavy bundle.
What to check in a shipment trial
Before dispatch, check bundle count, end protection, labels and restraints. Confirm the loading arrangement suits the vehicle and lifting equipment.
- Record product and carton dimensions, weight and lot details.
- Check carton closure, pallet arrangement and label access on a sample load.
- Compare damage and material use after shipment using the same criteria.
This is general packaging guidance. Confirm product-specific limits in current supplier documentation.
