Industrial Protection Packaging Spec Checklist
Checklist-style guide to specify industrial protection packaging from China: edge boards, honeycomb panels, dunnage, paper tubes, heavy cartons, tests, and RFQ fields for machinery and bulk goods.
Quick answer
Specify industrial protection packaging from failure modes: edge crush, surface abrasion, void shift, and base compression. Then assign edge boards, honeycomb panels, dunnage bags, paper tubes/cores, and heavy-duty cartons to each mode.
Capture the load case
Weight, CG, lift points, stacking, forklift/clamp use, and whether ocean vibration applies. Photos of past damage accelerate supplier engineering more than vague “fragile” notes.
Component checklist
Edge/corner boards — strap and corner impact
Honeycomb panels/blocks — flat compression and spacing
Dunnage air bags — container voids
Paper tubes/cores — roll goods and cylindrical parts
Heavy-duty corrugated — outer shippers when needed
Tests to agree
Compression, drop or tip, and strap abrasion checks as relevant. Require install instructions for warehouse crews—great materials fail when installed wrong.
