Please note that all wood packing materials (i.e. Pallets, Boxes, and Timbers etc.) must meet ISPM 15 Standards and must be fumigated properly.

This requirement is mandatory for most ports in the world, especially when shipping equipment to the United States, Canada, European Union, Australia.

Any and all leveling piers, leveling jacks, bolts, oil pans and other pieces needed to install and level the units must be packed with each unit.

All detached parts are to be boxed or palletized where possible.

All rollers not in the press are to be stowed in such a way that they rest on their spindles.

The delivery and feeder units must be supported by suitable delivery legs and feeder bars and mounted on a suitable pallet.

If it is not possible to find or produce wooden pallets for packing, wooden beams at least 20 cm thick, allowing loading by forklift, may be used. The length of the beams must be sufficient to ensure the stability of the printing sections during transport.

When packing control panels and quality control devices (Prinect Image Control, Litheс Densitronic S, Prinect Axis Control and others), attention must be paid to bringing the measuring heads into the transport position.

If possible, remove the measuring head and pack it separately (or cover it with a soft film to prevent damage).

Monitors and touch screens must be covered with cardboard and plastic foil.

The Wallscreen remote control monitor must be packed separately in its original packaging. The monitor should be wrapped in foil and packed in a wooden crate in an upright position as shown in the picture.

Never place it with the screen on the control desk.

All major parts are to be shrouded in polythene to prevent any water coming into contact with the machinery.

Special sachets with moisture-absorbing material should be placed near parts that are sensitive to moisture levels.

Machines that are loaded onto flat racks must be covered with polythene and then a PVC sheet, which must be secured with ropes.

All major parts must have at least two tensioned straps or two tensioned steel cables to hold them in position.

Suitable protective materials should be provided and fitted below the straps / wires to prevent chafing.

All containers must have equal distribution of weight when packed into the containers with a limit of maximum 18 tons in each container.

The machinery must not be loaded into a wagon or container which has any holes in the awning cover or container walls. If the container part is damaged then loading must be delayed until it is properly repaired or replaced.

Do not accept the assurances of the haulier that the equipment will be repaired later.

It is your responsibility to ensure that the machine is complete as per the specification. A packing list showing must be produced, specifically showing any deficiencies or any parts obviously broken, damaged or missing.

The packing lists must also include the container number and seal number (s) and weights where applicable. All manuals and electrical diagrams must be checked and the supplier must be advised if any are missing.

The part of the equipment on which the serial number plate is attached should be placed closer to the container door and should be accessible for possible customs access.

Please ensure all loose or hinged items on the machine are securely fastened to prevent damage during transit and that all water / alcohol / fount solutions in recirculation units, and blanket and roller wash solutions, are completely drained and dry before loading.

After disconnecting the print units, any possible spillage of oil or liquids on the floor of the container or lorry must be eliminated. Cellophane sachets should be placed on the tubes that may continue to leak liquid and secured tightly. The presence of oil stains may amount to damage to the container and any possible fines from the carrier will be forwarded to the contractor.

Fastening in the container is carried out by straps of appropriate thickness by eyebolts. The straps must prevent the goods from moving if the container is slightly tilted. A minimum of four straps are required to secure one printed section, one on each corner. Two straps for heavy sections are absolutely not permitted.

If it is necessary to fasten with a strap from above, it is necessary to make sure that the strap does not hit the plastic cover and squeeze it. Use special plastic corners to prevent the strap from being overstretched and breaking.

If a pallet is available, the print unit can be placed either along or across the container or truck, secured in a container or lorry in a stretch.

However, if the unit is delivered on wooden beams, it must always be placed only along the container or truckr to prevent movement during sudden braking.

All major parts must be timber chocked with suitable timbers both from the sides of the trailer / container and against each other. If the machine is on pallets, then the pallets must be chocked in the same manner.

This is necessary to prevent possible movement of the palette during transport.
