Weight and packaging
Packaging depends on customer’s requirements.
Packaging example:
Sheets are delivered in stacks bound several times with cyclostyle type depending on width and length. Sheets might be packed in wrapping paper, protective angles, respectively in metal case.
Stack weight: 2 000 – 5 000 kg.
Coils are bound with cyclostyle type twice or 3-times around circumference and 4-times through opening.
Coils weight: 5.0 – 15.1 kg.mm-1 of width, pickled: 6 000 – 18 000 kg.
Strips are bound with cyclostyle tape twice around circumference and 4-times through opening. Individual rolls are bound into stacks twice through opening.
Weight of strips cut in lengths: 3.5 – 15.1 kg.mm of width.
