Export packaging – securing machinery and equipment for sea transport
In the dynamic world of global trade, export packaging plays an indispensable role in ensuring the safe and efficient transport of goods abroad, especially the protection of machinery and equipment. As an industry leader, Danpol sets the standard in this field, using innovative packaging materials and methods that are tailored to the specific requirements of international transport.
Cargo securing techniques at Danpol
Export packaging is not a uniform process; it varies according to the type and sensitivity of the cargo. Danpol, understanding these differences, develops and applies a range of specialised techniques and materials to ensure the highest level of protection for each type of goods.
Heat-shrinkable film – securing loads for transport
Shrink film, which is a special type of polyethylene film, is a key component in industrial packaging. Thanks to its ability to shrink under the influence of heat, it adheres tightly to the packaged item, forming a protective, airtight barrier. It thus protects against external factors such as moisture, dust, mechanical damage or UV radiation. At Danpol, we mainly use a film manufactured in the United States with the highest quality UV filter 230 and 200 microns thick in white, which allows for effective and cost-optimised protection of products.
Applications for shrink film include the protection of a wide variety of loads, from machinery and equipment to oversized items, electronics and heavy components in the construction, automotive and marine industries. The film effectively protects against dirt in road transport and weather conditions in all modes of transport. However, it should be noted that it does not provide full protection in sea transport against the effects of sea salt.
In order to facilitate inspection, e.g. customs, Danpol uses zip locks fitted into the shrink film. This allows easy access to the packaged items, e.g. to the nameplate of the appliance, without having to remove the entire film. In addition, the use of wooden racks helps to transfer the forces pushing on the film, resulting from strong winds, to the structural components of the packaged appliance, thereby increasing packaging safety.
Appliances packed in shrink film can be particularly vulnerable to strong winds. As the film pushes hard against the system, there is a risk that strong winds can exert additional pressure on the packaged equipment, which can lead to damage or instability during transport. To remedy this problem, Danpol uses specially designed wooden frames. They help to transfer the forces pushing on the film to the structural elements of the packed equipment. Thanks to this solution, the equipment is more stable and better protected against potential damage caused by wind and other external factors. The use of wooden racks is particularly important for sea and road transport, where weather conditions can be more extreme. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

VCI film – corrosion protection for cargo during transport
Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) film is a specialised packaging material that actively prevents the corrosion of metals. By containing volatile corrosion inhibitors, this film creates a protective atmosphere around the metal product, neutralising potential chemical reactions that can lead to corrosion. This is particularly important for long-term storage or international transport, where metal items are exposed to a variety of environmental conditions.
VCI film contains special chemicals that sublimate to form a protective molecular layer on the metal surface. This layer prevents the metal from coming into direct contact with atmospheric and chemical agents, which can lead to corrosion. This is particularly important for the export and long-term storage of metal parts and machinery.
Danpol, using its many years of experience in the industry, effectively applies VCI film, tailoring its use to the specific needs and requirements of its customers. Danpol’s professional approach to packaging, combining innovation with practicality, provides customers with the confidence that their metal products are properly protected.
