Export Packing and Delivery

This page explains how finished metal sculptures are protected and shipped from Shenzhen to overseas projects. It covers the steps taken to ensure surfaces remain undamaged during transit and how sectioned works are packed and marked for on-site assembly. The information is for buyers who need to move custom metal art across international borders without damage or confusion.

What Gets in the Way

  • Polished surfaces getting scratched during shipping from China to overseas sites
  • Large sculptures arriving in pieces that cannot be reassembled on site
  • No clear markings on crates that show the correct order for on-site assembly
  • Lack of photographs to verify the finished work before it is crated
  • Protective film missing or improperly applied on mirror-finished stainless steel

What Buyers Ask Us For

  • Protective film applied to every polished face before packing
  • Foam and blanket wrapping for all edges and contact points
  • Plywood crates built to fit the sectioned work and prevent movement
  • Each crate marked with assembly order numbers and section labels
  • Photographs taken of the finished work before crating for buyer approval
Where It Goes

Typical Installations

  • Arrival at a port in Europe where the site team must assemble the sculpture
  • Delivery to a luxury hotel in Southeast Asia with tight handover deadlines
  • Transport to a public plaza in North America where the piece is installed in stages
  • Shipping to a remote location where on-site assembly is the only option
  • Delivery to a construction site with limited space for storing large sections

FAQ

Export Packing and Delivery Questions

What protects polished surfaces during shipping?

Every polished face is covered with protective film before the work is crated. This film is applied in the workshop and remains in place until the piece arrives at the site.

How are large sculptures packed for export?

Large works are produced in sections. Each section is wrapped in foam and blankets, then secured in a plywood crate with markings for assembly order.

Can you mark the crates for on-site assembly?

Yes. Each crate is marked with the section number and the correct assembly order so the site team can reassemble the sculpture in the right sequence.

Do you take photos before crating?

Yes. Photographs are taken of the finished sculpture before it is crated. These are sent to the buyer for approval before shipping.

What do I need to send to confirm packing?

Send the destination port. Once we know this, we confirm the crating arrangement to match the shipping method and site access conditions.
