Machined metal parts and other equipment require unique packaging during shipping, handling and warehousing to accommodate lubricants, irregular shapes and heavy or unevenly distributed weight. Great Northern Laminations provides trusted solutions to protect steel during shipping, regardless of component complexity or size.
Best Shipping Solutions for Steel
Our solutions support a range of steel shipping needs. Some of our ideal products for components of this material include:
- PolyCoated VBoard®: This product features a specialized coating on the inner layer that resists scuffs and harmful substances like oil, grease and water. We can apply this coating to any standard VBoard pieces to offer the highest level of protection for your steel parts.
- FlexBoard®: Our flexible edge solution is designed to fit curved, round or irregular shapes with durable, laminated paperboard. With notches at every third inch, FlexBoard provides protection for a range of products, such as coiled or spooled materials and rounded windows. Add PolyCoated protection if needed.
- Extruded VBoard®: For this VBoard product, we created a solution that offers tighter tolerances than paper VBoard with durable extruded plastic.
