Packing

The Importance of Packaging in Natural Stone Export

Despite their hardness, building stones are vulnerable to impact, vibration, and moisture. Precision cutting, surface finishing, and processing turn these materials into high-value products that must be carefully protected during transport and export. For this reason, standardized and professional packaging plays a vital role in preserving stone quality and ensuring customer satisfaction.

Main Stages of Slab Packaging for Export

1. Choosing the Right Bundle Type
   Custom-made metal bundles are commonly used for slab packaging. These should be designed to fit the exact dimensions of the slabs and must be constructed from durable materials to prevent breakage during transport.
2. Foam and Bubble Wrap
   To avoid damage during handling, soft foam sheets or bubble wrap are placed between slabs. These layers prevent direct contact between stone surfaces and reduce the risk of scratching or cracking.
3. Plastic Sheets and Shrink Wrapping
   After the slabs are securely placed in the metal bundle, a thick stretch film is wrapped around the load. Then, heat-based shrink wrapping is applied to seal the bundle completely and protect it from dust and moisture.
4. Professional Strapping
   To ensure the slabs remain stable within the pallet, strong plastic straps are applied. These straps hold the slabs firmly in place, preventing any sliding or collision during loading and transit.

Loading and Transport Principles for Exported Slabs

• Slabs should be loaded inside containers with full alignment and standard spacing.
• Transit is usually done via land or sea routes, followed by shipping or cross-border transport to the final destination.
