Packing Unit
At LAMSOR Exports, packing is treated as an extension of manufacturing and quality control — not a final formality.
Natural stone is heavy, brittle, and unforgiving in transit. Our packing systems are designed to protect material integrity, maintain load stability, and ensure stones reach site in the same condition in which they leave our facility.
1. Crate Setup
Export-grade wooden crates are fabricated using reinforced, seaworthy timber, designed to withstand handling stress, stacking loads, and long-distance transit.
- Structural rigidity
- Load balance
- Safe handling across multiple transfer points
Crate dimensions and internal layout are determined based on stone type, thickness, and packing orientation.
2. Crate Preparation for Stone Packing
Before material placement, crates are internally prepared using polythene liners and industrial-grade cushioning materials.
- Protects edges and surfaces
- Absorbs vibration during movement
- Prevents abrasion between stone units
Preparation standards are adjusted depending on stone finish, thickness, and sensitivity.
3. Placement of Natural Stone Products
Stone units are systematically placed to achieve maximum stability and space efficiency. Orientation, layering sequence, and weight distribution are planned to:
- Minimise internal movement
- Prevent point-load stress
- Maintain uniform load balance
This step is critical for preserving dimensional accuracy and surface finish during transit.
4. Securing & Filling the Crate
Once the placement pattern is finalised, the crate is filled tightly and secured to eliminate voids. Interleaving sheets, spacers, and cushioning materials are used to:
- Lock units in position
- Prevent vibration-induced damage
- Maintain alignment throughout transit
The objective is zero movement from origin to destination.
5. Safety Assurance
Each packed crate undergoes safety verification prior to sealing. This includes:
- Multi-layer internal protection checks
- Load stability assessment
- Certified fumigation where required for international compliance
All safety measures are aligned with international shipping and import regulations.
6. Dispatch Logistics
Final sealing, strapping, and weather-proofing are completed under controlled conditions. From dock release to container loading:
- Each crate is monitored
- Handling instructions are enforced
- Documentation is verified
This ensures secure movement from our facility to international ports and onward to project sites.
