Technical Parameters and Packing Specification
Container space and weight limits decide how many square meters fit in one load. We calculate the load for each order, because panel thickness, core type, length and mixed items change the result. The table gives general reference values.
| Container | Approx. internal size | Notes for cleanroom kits |
|---|---|---|
| 20GP | About 5.9 × 2.35 × 2.39 m | Suitable for smaller projects and panels up to about 5.5 m long |
| 40GP | About 12.0 × 2.35 × 2.39 m | Suitable for longer panels and medium projects |
| 40HQ | About 12.0 × 2.35 × 2.69 m | Most common; extra height helps with pallets and crates |
| LCL (shared container) | Per cubic meter | For very small orders, with longer transit and handling |
Typical packing method:
- Pallets: panels are stacked flat on wooden pallets or skids, and wooden packaging follows the plant-health rules of the destination, such as ISPM 15 marking.
- Protection: PE film on faces, edge protectors on corners, and cardboard or foam between layers.
- Strapping: strong straps bind each stack, and the load is braced in the container.
- Moisture protection: film wrap, moisture barriers and desiccants where needed, especially for sea freight through humid zones.
- Labels: each panel carries a position code and each pallet a shipping mark.
- Loading order: goods are loaded in reverse installation order, so what you need first is unloaded first.
As a rough guide, a 40HQ can carry on the order of a thousand square meters of 50 mm panels, depending on packing, length and mixed items. Heavy cores, such as rockwool, may reach the weight limit before the space is full.
Cross-Border Delivery and Localized Construction Support
A flat-pack shipment crosses a factory gate, a port, a sea route, customs and a road to your site. We plan each step so that the goods arrive complete, dry and easy to unpack, and so that your team knows what to expect.
- Load plan: we prepare a container plan showing what goes where, and share it with you.
- Packing and marking: goods are packed, labeled and photographed before loading.
- Booking and documents: we book the shipment on FOB terms or arrange CFR or CIF, and prepare the packing list, commercial invoice and certificate of origin.
- Tracking: container numbers and sailing dates are shared with you, so you can plan unloading and customs.
- Arrival and unpacking: we send an unpacking guide, and you check goods against the packing list.
Customs: classification codes and import rules differ by country, so your broker confirms the correct code and duties. We supply accurate product descriptions, materials and quantities to support this. Some countries also require plant-health marking for wooden packaging, which we apply on request.
On site: you need a forklift or a crane with soft slings, a covered and dry storage area and a clear route to the building. Unpack panels only when installation begins, and store them flat. Installation is then carried out by a local crew with our drawings and manual, or with our supervision.
Please also tell us the unloading conditions at your site: whether trucks can reach the building, whether a forklift is available and how much covered storage you have. We adjust pallet sizes and loading order accordingly, so that unloading is quick and safe.
Quality Control and Certification
Quality in a flat-pack shipment has two parts: the quality of the parts and the quality of the packing. We inspect both before the container is closed, because damage in transit is expensive to repair on a distant site.
| Stage | Control | Value for the buyer |
|---|---|---|
| Production | Dimension, flatness and bonding checks on panels, doors and profiles | Accurate parts |
| Packing check | Film, edge protection, strapping, moisture protection | Undamaged goods |
| Count and label check | Pieces against bill of materials and packing list | Complete delivery |
| Load check | Photos or video of loading and bracing | Secure container |
| Seal and record | Container number and seal number recorded | Traceability |
| Arrival guidance | Unpacking guide and damage reporting instructions | Quick claims if needed |
Documents available: packing list, commercial invoice, certificate of origin, material specifications, factory inspection records and, where available, test reports. We can also supply a photo record of each pallet and the container loading.
You may ask for pre-shipment inspection by yourself or a third party. We welcome this and arrange access, and we agree the inspection items with you in advance. Factory audits and sample approvals are welcome.
Buyers who cannot attend loading can ask for a live video of the packing and loading, or for a photo set of each pallet, the container interior and the sealed door. We keep these records with the shipment file. Our factory can host audits or live video tours.
Batch records are kept for each shipment, so a later question about a specific pallet can be traced to production and packing.
After-Sales Service and Response Capability
The day the container is opened is the day problems become visible. We therefore treat the arrival stage as part of after-sales service, and we stay in contact through unloading and installation. We keep packing photos, packing lists and batch records for each shipment.
- Arrival support: unpacking guide, checking advice and quick answers to questions.
- Damage or shortage reports: reviewed using your photos and our packing records, and handled promptly if covered.
- Spare parts: panels, profiles, gaskets, hinges, windows and filters for repairs or later phases.
- Remote guidance: photos and videos help us advise on fit and installation.
- Further shipments: later phases can use the same marking system.
How we handle common arrival issues:
| Issue | What to do | Our response |
|---|---|---|
| Visible damage to cartons or pallets | Photograph before unloading, note on the delivery record | Review photos, advise on claim or replacement |
| Missing item against packing list | Check position codes, report within days | Check records, ship missing part if confirmed |
| Wet or stained goods | Photograph, dry carefully, report | Review cause and packing, replace if covered |
| Part does not fit | Check drawing and code | Advise adjustment or send replacement |
Reporting quickly, with photos, makes every claim easier, whether to us or to the carrier or insurer.
For overseas buyers, the first week after arrival is the most important. We suggest that you check each pallet against the packing list on the day it is unloaded, photograph any damage before moving the goods and send the photos to us and to your carrier or insurer at once. We will compare them with our packing photos and reply with a clear next step.
For urgent shortages, we discuss the fastest shipping option and prepare documents in advance.
A small allowance of spare gaskets, sealant and fixings in the kit helps you avoid delays.
Commercial Terms, Warranty and Lifecycle Cost
Freight is a large part of the landed cost of cleanroom materials. Efficient flat-pack loading can lower freight cost per square meter noticeably, and careful packing lowers the cost of damage and delay.
| Item | Our approach |
|---|---|
| Quotation | Itemized by product, with packing and container plan |
| Trade terms | FOB, CFR or CIF, defined in the quotation; other terms on request |
| Payment | Commonly a deposit with balance before shipment or against documents; final terms in the contract |
| Insurance | Cargo insurance can be arranged under CIF or on request |
| Warranty | Defined by component group in the contract |
| Lead time | Production time plus sailing time; given after drawing confirmation |
Ways to lower total landed cost:
- Combine items: mixing panels, doors and accessories in one container uses space fully.
- Plan the container: choose lengths and sizes that fit the container well.
- Ship early enough: avoid air freight or peak-season rates.
- Clear customs well: correct documents reduce storage fees.
Ocean freight, import duties, taxes, port charges, inland transport and insurance depend on the terms and the country, and are not part of the product price unless included in the quotation. Warranty exclusions are stated clearly in the contract.
When comparing quotations, check the trade terms, the container size, the packing standard and what is included in the price, such as wooden packaging treatment, insurance and documents. A lower price with weak packing often costs more through damage.
We provide itemized quotations and are glad to explain every line and to prepare alternative options, such as different container plans.
