The packaging method for steel structures should be determined based on factors such as component type, size, transportation distance, storage environment, and required protection. The goal is to prevent deformation, rust, and damage during transportation and storage.

The following is the packaging method of steel structure:

1. Bare Packaging(Un-packaged)

For: Large and heavy steel parts(like steel columns, beams, large trusses).

Features:Forget about any extra packaging layer, you can load and unload with lifting tools, directly. But components need to be firmly tied down in transport to avoid rattling/impacting.

Extra Protection: you can provide temporary covers or wrapping component connections (bolt holes, flange surface) to prevent intrusion and damage.

2. Bundled Packaging

Suitable for: Small medium regular shaped steel pieces (like angle steel, channel steel, steel pipes and small connecting plates) in bulk.

Note: The bundling should not be too tight. the bundling is too loose and the elements will shift, if too tight it may cause deformation.

3. Wooden Box/Wooden Frame Packaging

Applicable Scenarios: small precision steel parts (mechanical parts: high precision connectors, etc.), fragile parts (such as small parts like bolts and nuts) or steel parts needing long distance transportation or export.

Benefits: Great protection, isolation from the environment, environmental shielding, protection from long distance transportation in complex environment.

4. Unique Protection Packaging

For Anti-corrosion: When storing steel parts or in humid environment for transportation of steel parts, additional anti-rust processing is required other than above wrapping methods.

For Deformation Protection: When packing slender and thin wall steel (e.g. slender steel beam, thin walled steel member), use additional supports (wood or steel brackets) as packing material, to avoid the packing bending and deform by uneven weight during transportation and storage.
