Packaging for Building and Construction Materials
These loads punish light packaging. Thickness and compression strength matter more here than in almost any other application, and the specification should be set against your actual load weight.
The problem
Tiles, boards and cement bags are dense loads with sharp edges, so the packaging has to carry concentrated weight and protect the edges where strapping bites into the stack.
What matters here
Specification Points for This Cargo
Concentrated weight
Board thickness is selected by load weight rather than by product category. Send the weight per tier and we will recommend a grade.
Sharp edges under strapping
Tile and board packs can cut into their own cartons when strapped. Corner protectors help spread band pressure across the edge.
Site conditions
Loads may be stored outdoors before use. Moisture exposure should be considered when specifying the construction.
Heavy palletless handling
Slip sheet conversion is possible for dense loads but depends on your attachment capacity — confirm the equipment before switching.
Specification
Typical Specification for This Cargo
A starting point, not a fixed answer. Final values are confirmed against your own load before quotation.
| Item | Guidance for this cargo |
|---|---|
| Profile selection | L profiles for square carton and pack corners; U profiles where the edge needs wrapping from both sides. |
| Wing width | Wider wings spread band pressure further across the edge, which matters most on dense tile and board packs. |
| Wall thickness | Rigid grades for heavy packs. Standard grades crush under the strap tension these loads need. |
| Length | Cut to full stack height so the protector holds the whole column rather than a single carton. |
| What to send us | Pack weight, stack height, strapping method and band tension, and the edge dimension being protected. |
