PACKING

We have, over the years, built experienced teams of packers who over our different warehouses have handled thousands of export containers. Handling starts right from the supplier's premises whereas packing in most cases is done in our warehouses. In case of very fragile items, a special team can be sent to private houses or shops in order to measure what has to be packed. Special crates will thereafter be tailor made, for immediate packing at the supplier's location.

Packing devices exist in various shapes, material and function. Here is a list of the most frequently used ones.

1. Shredded paper: Ideal to protect fragile handicraft as well as light statue.
2. Polycell: It is a kind of bubble pack especially used for fragile item
3. Polyfoam: Thin white plastic coating used on all pieces of furniture.
4. Sponge: Appears in various thicknesses. Good for mirrors and glasses protection.
5. Corner protection: Made of thick carton, this protects cabinet corners in a very efficient manner.

Humidity:

Between late November and late February Bali is facing severe rain and humidity. This means that the shipped goods could be damaged by the increasing humidity and the high temperatures in the container.
To reduce those risks we recommend using the following additionally precautions:

1. Silika-Gel: absorbes the humidity, available in different sizes (1, 15 or 50gr.)
2. Humidity Absorbers: are placed along the wall of the container, with a minimum of 4pieces per 20’container and 8pieces per 40’container.
3. Plywood: placed against the walls of the container to protect the goods inside the container from condensation dropping from the wall.
