How to Transport and Package Steel Plates and Coils
Steel plates and coils must be carefully packaged for protection during storage and transport. With rising standards in the industrial steel market, packaging must now meet stricter technical and safety requirements.
Current Packaging Needs
Steel products such as stainless steel coils, hot-rolled and cold-rolled plates, and galvanized coils are usually heavy—often exceeding half a ton. Because of their size and weight, packaging becomes more challenging. Additionally, the transport environment is hard to control.
Thus, packaging materials must offer protection against:
-
Impact
-
Moisture
-
Rust
-
Dust
-
Pressure
Corrugated Wire Anti-Rust Paper
A corrugated wire anti-rust paper has been introduced for packaging steel coils and similar metal products. It is often used with automatic winding machines. This type of packaging offers:
-
Tight sealing
-
Wear resistance
-
Oxygen isolation
-
Rust prevention
Features of Corrugated Wire Anti-Rust Paper
This paper is made from neutral wood pulp kraft paper, along with:
-
Composite woven fabric
-
PP/PE plastic film
-
VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor)
Benefits include:
-
Gas-phase rust protection
-
High tensile strength
-
Strong shrink force
-
Excellent puncture resistance
Suitable Applications
This paper is ideal for large steel coils, copper plates, and heavy machinery. It is widely used for automatic coil packaging, providing:
-
Rust resistance
-
Oxidation prevention
-
Moisture protection
-
Dust isolation
For enhanced protection, the following options are recommended:
-
Ensure tight sealing during wrapping
-
Choose woven-reinforced or strip-reinforced versions for higher strength
