01Surface protection
- Self-adhesive protective film on cosmetic faces, applied after finishing
- Paper interleaving between profiles to prevent rubbing
- PE foam, end caps and corner protectors for finished parts
- Shrink-wrapped bundles or cartons for cut parts
- Fumigation-free engineered wood or ISPM 15-treated wooden crates for export
02Container planning
Standard 6 m mill lengths do not fit a 20-foot container, whose internal length is about 5.9 m — they ship in 40-foot or 40-foot high-cube containers. When you order cut parts, we plan lengths and bundle sizes around the container, which often lowers freight cost per kilogram.
03Export documents
- Commercial invoice and packing list
- Certificate of origin on request
- Material (mill) certificates with chemical composition
- Dimensional and coating inspection reports
- Labels with your part numbers, PO, quantity and weights
04Frequently asked questions
Can 6-metre aluminum profiles go in a 20-foot container?
No. A 20-foot container's internal length is about 5.9 m, so 6 m profiles need a 40-foot or 40-foot high-cube container — or cutting to shorter lengths before shipment.
How are anodized profiles protected in transit?
With protective film on visible faces, paper interleaving between pieces, foam and end protection, and bundling or crating that stops movement inside the container.
