How to Minimize Breakage Risks: Our Granite Packaging Protocol for Maritime Pallets

Maritime transport of granite requires strict packaging control, as granite is a noble, heavy, and shock-sensitive material. At Guangdong Ruiwei Import & Export Co., Ltd, we have developed a proven packaging protocol designed to ensure that granite monuments and stone products arrive in perfect condition, even after long sea voyages.

1. Selection and Pre-Packaging Inspection

Before palletizing, each granite piece undergoes:

•  A visual quality inspection (cracks, micro-defects, edges)

• Dimension and weight verification

•  Thorough cleaning to prevent internal abrasion during transport

Only fully compliant products proceed to the packaging stage.

2. Individual Protection for Each Element

Each granite component is packaged individually to avoid direct contact:

•  Thick moisture-resistant plastic film

• High-density foam protection on edges and corners

•  Reinforced cardboard or EVA foam separators between pieces

This step is crucial for absorbing shocks and vibrations during maritime transport.

3. Reinforced Maritime Pallets and Crating

Depending on product configuration, we use:
