Case background
A buyer ordered long ball screws for export shipment. The parts would go through long-distance transport, multiple handling points, and storage. In this situation, packing must focus on rust prevention, support, fixing, and clear arrival checks.
Packing risk
If long ball screws are shipped in ordinary cartons, they can bend, get dented, rust, or lose labels during transport. Without shipment photos and packing records, the buyer may not know where a problem happened after arrival.
Confirmation checklist
- Overall length, quantity, single-piece weight, and whether nuts ship together.
- Transport method, estimated transit time, and storage time.
- Rust-prevention oil, wrapping, hard tube, carton, or wooden case packing.
- Internal support, end protection, carton marks, and batch labels.
- Product photos, label photos, packing photos, and packing records.
Handling approach
Before quotation, confirm length and transport conditions first, then choose the packing level. Longer screws should usually use hard tube or wooden case support. Ends and nut areas need separate protection. Rust prevention should be selected according to sea freight, air freight, storage time, and destination climate.
What to prepare before RFQ
The buyer should state overall length, quantity, destination country, transport method, expected storage time, split-shipment needs, hard-tube or wooden-case requirements, and whether shipment photos are needed. This lets the supplier include packing cost and delivery risk in the quote.
Shipment photos
Shipment photos are not decorative material. They support buyer records and arrival checks. Keep photos of the full product, model labels, end protection, outer packing, and loading condition so distributors or end customers can verify the shipment after arrival.
