Timber can spend several weeks in a container, crossing different climates. Careful packing keeps it clean, dry and easy to handle when it arrives at your warehouse.

## Strapped bundles

Each bundle is built on bearers so a forklift can lift it safely, then secured with steel or PET strapping to hold the profiles tight and square.

## Waterproof wrapping

Bundles are covered with waterproof plastic to protect against rain and condensation during storage and loading. Ventilation is considered so moisture does not get trapped.

## Clear labelling

Every bundle carries a label with bundle number, species, product, size in millimetres and piece count. This matches the packing list, so your team can check the cargo quickly on arrival.

## Container loading

We load 20 foot and 40 foot FCL from Tanjung Perak, Surabaya, and photograph the loading so you can see the condition of your cargo before the container is sealed.
