Packaging of components for sea transport – wooden pallets, VCI film and vacuum-sealed aluminium foil

We constructed wooden pallets and prepared the components for sea transport, to be shipped in two containers. We protected the components with VCI anti-corrosion film and aluminium foil using vacuum packaging technology. We supplied a full set of packaging materials and secured the interiors of the packages with desiccants. We arranged the components on platforms and pallets selected to suit their dimensions and weight.

Description of the order fulfilment:

Platforms and pallets for components  

We prepared suitable bases for each group of components. These consisted of EUR EPAL pallets and custom-made wooden platforms in various sizes. We placed the smaller items on the pallets, and the larger and longer ones on the platforms. This ensured that every component had a stable base during loading and transport.

VCI film with volatile corrosion inhibitors  

We wrapped the components in VCI anti-corrosion film containing volatile corrosion inhibitors. The film creates a protective environment around the metal surfaces, which reduces the risk of corrosion during sea transport and storage. We have tailored the film to the shape of each component.

Aluminium foil and vacuum packing  

We placed aluminium foil over the VCI film, and then vacuum-packed the components inside it. The aluminium foil acts as a barrier against external moisture. We further secured the whole package with stretch film and tape.

Moisture absorbers and edge protection  

We have placed moisture absorbers inside the packaging. We have protected the sharp edges of the components with bubble wrap to prevent them from damaging the film during packing and transport. We have provided additional protection for parts that could tear the film, and secured any protruding parts at the points of contact.

Mounting and labelling  

We secured the packaged components to platforms and pallets using straps to prevent them from shifting. We labelled the packaging with descriptions of the components. We prepared all the items so that they could be loaded efficiently into the containers.
