Export Packing and Consolidation
Winton is an export operation first: the company was set up to give overseas buyers a procurement service, and the packing and loading side of that is as much of the product as the hardware itself.
Eight Stages From Enquiry To Arrival
Each stage names the problem it exists to solve, then what we do about it.
Order Consolidation
Small quantities on several lines never reach a full container on their own.
Lines from different categories are combined until the container works commercially.
Carton Specification
Generic cartons force the receiving warehouse to open and re-sort.
Quantity per carton is adjusted to your handling and shelf layout.
Marking and Labelling
Unmarked cartons slow down receiving and stock-taking.
Carton marking and labelling follow your requirement, including your own part numbers.
Private Label
Distributors building an own-brand range cannot use factory packaging.
Private label and colour box packing are available on agreed quantities.
Pre-Shipment Check
Count and finish errors are discovered at the destination.
Cartons are counted and marked against the packing list before loading.
Container Loading
Loading is rushed and heavy items are put on top of light ones.
Loading is supervised and photographed, as the factory photographs on this site show.
Documentation
Paperwork arrives late and the container sits at the port.
Documents are prepared alongside the shipment by the sales contact handling the order.
Follow-Up
Nobody checks whether the shipment arrived as ordered.
Your sales contact follows the shipment through to arrival.

What finishes are available on your anchors and bolts
Zinc plating is the standard finish. Threaded rod is listed in white zinc and blue zinc. For other finishes tell us the item and quantity and we will confirm what the factory can run.
Can you supply anchors bolts nuts and washers on one order
Yes. Consolidating the whole fixing range on one order is the main reason importers buy this category from us, and it keeps freight and paperwork to one shipment.
What is the difference between your coarse thread and fine thread drywall screws
Coarse thread is for fixing board into timber framing. Fine thread is for light gauge steel studs. We list them as separate products so the two never end up in the same carton.
Which zinc finishes do you run on drywall screws
Coarse thread drywall screw is listed in a plain finish and in a yellow zinc plated version, and fine thread drywall screw is listed in white zinc. Confirm the finish on your order so repeat shipments match.
