This page contains information pertaining to transportation of building materials by train.


 * Inner Packaging: **

** Blocking and filling ** : immobilizes products and fills empty space around products to avoid jostling and collisions

Honeycomb-
 * Strong, high resistance to vertical compression
 * Low freight cost
 * Humidity resistance available
 * m aterial consisting of kraft paper formed into continuous uniform hexagonal cells.
 * Can be considered both inner and outer packaging.
 * Completely recyclable.

Air Pad-
 * Fills empty space in outer packaging
 * Humidity insensitive
 * Can withstand strong impacts
 * Suitable only for regularly shaped products, no sharp edges

Bubble wrap-
 * Protects fragile, irregularly shaped products
 * Very humidity resistant

Paper pad-
 * Blocking, filling and wrapping material
 * Suitable for irregularly shaped pbjects
 * Flexible
 * Adaptable to customer needs

** Cushioning: ** To protect against shock and vibrations

AirPak-
 * Humidity resistant
 * Low freight/storage costs
 * Custom designs available

Foam-
 * Good protection from vibrations and shocks
 * Customizable
 * Different types available (non-water absorbent, humidity resistant, etc.)
 * Broad range of models, densities, thicknesses

** ESD ** : Electro static discharge can damage many electrical components Corrosion protection:

VCI bags- See also: Desiccants, Paper, PE-foam, Emitter Cups, corrugated protection
 * All metals protected
 * Keeps minimum 2 years as an effective corrosion protection
 * Environmentally safe

** Inner Fittings ** : used as separators or shelves, also in space optimization

Can be made of foam, corrugated cardboard, steel, plastic, rubber, wood/plywood based on material being transported.
