Linetec Packaging Options
Linetec offers custom packaging with many different options. Material is protective wrapped to the customer's specifications; from boxing and master bundling to individually packaging material into crates.


Packaging Type - cart/cradle

Customer Carts and Cradles

Carts and cradles are utilized for Linetec trucking. Foam interweave is used between painted extrusions, with sticks separating the layers of both paint and anodize material.

Packaging Type - skid

Skid

A skid is used for flat sheets and panels. Skids are built so a fork lift can get under the material.

Packaging Type - customer supplied crate

Customer Supplied Crate

For ease of crate re-use screws are preferred rather than nails; with an easy access opening to remove the parts and replace them after they are finished. For strength and sturdiness, the crate should be build with 2X4's verses 1X4's.

When replaced after finishing, the material within each crate is packaged securely. Foam spacers are used to prevent finished panels from sliding inside crate.

Linetec Built Crates

As a service Linetec can built crates on request. Crates are built with 2"x4" when supplied by Linetec.

Box (continued)

The separate boxes, each with their own label, are bundled together with wood blocking and banding. The maximum bundle size is 20” X 20”.
