When exporting mechanical products such as welding machines, it is very important to choose the right wooden box material, which must meet international export standards and the requirements of the destination country.
Generally, export packaging wood must comply with the ISPM 15 standard stipulated by the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC), namely “Management of Wood Packaging Material in International Trade”. ISPM 15 requires that all exported wood packaging materials must be heat treated (HT) or chemically treated (CT) to ensure that they will not carry plant pests and diseases to the importing country.
Specifically, the following are some key factors to consider when choosing wooden boxes for export:
1. Material: Hardwoods such as birch, pine, and oak are usually selected because these woods are hard and durable and can withstand the pressure of long-term transportation and handling.
2. Treatment: The wood must be treated as specified in ISPM 15 and carry an official mark to prove that it has been treated.
3. Structure: The wooden box should have sufficient strength and rigidity to protect the mechanical products from damage during transportation. The box structure should be able to withstand stacking, squeezing and vibration.
4. Size: According to the size and weight of the mechanical product, choose the appropriate wooden box size to ensure that the product can be safely placed in the box, while considering the transportation cost and efficiency.
5. Sealing: If the mechanical product needs to be moisture-proof, dust-proof, etc., the wooden box should have good sealing, and can be used with waterproof plywood or lined with moisture-proof materials.
6. Safety: If the mechanical product is fragile or has special requirements, additional cushioning materials and fixings may need to be installed inside the wooden box to prevent the product from moving or being damaged during transportation.
When choosing wooden boxes, it is recommended to cooperate with professional export packaging companies who can provide wooden boxes that meet international standards and ensure that the requirements of the destination country are met. At the same time, it is also necessary to customize a suitable export wooden box solution according to the specific characteristics of the mechanical product.
