4 STEPS - NOTHING SIMPLER

Step by step

Why is it worth it?

Packaging for the construction industry

Building materials are loads that require: heaviness, often large size, and are susceptible to edge and surface damage during loading, transport, and storage on the construction site. TEK-PAK supplies cardboard packaging tailored to these conditions, from large-format wraps and sleeves protecting windows and doors, to pallet packaging that can withstand the loads typical of construction logistics.

We fulfill orders for manufacturers of building materials, distributors, and companies involved in exporting window and door joinery. We consult on each project individually, selecting the cardboard weight, sheet size, and optional reinforcements for the specific product and transport conditions.

Better product protection

Reducing damage in transit.

Better packaging process

Custom-designed structures speed up warehouse operations.

Lower logistics costs

Optimizing packaging dimensions and weight.

Before you ask

We've gathered answers to the questions that most often come up at the beginning of our collaboration. If something is missing here, let's talk.

What cardboard packaging is used in the construction industry?

In the construction industry, we use pallet and large-scale flap packaging for transporting building materials, cardboard wraps for securing profiles, panels, and window/door elements, as well as cardboard dividers and corner protectors to guard edges susceptible to damage during transport and storage.

Can cardboard packaging withstand the weight of building materials?

Yes, we use 5-layer corrugated cardboard in BC, EB, and QC fluting with grammages up to 1050 g/m², ensuring durability suitable for heavy construction loads. For each project, we select the type and grammage of the cardboard individually, taking into account the product's weight and stacking requirements in the warehouse.

Does TEK-PAK produce packaging for window and door transport?

Yes, we produce cardboard wraps and large-format packaging tailored for window and door joinery. The wraps can include cutouts for securing straps, making it easier to band loads on a pallet. For elements particularly sensitive to scratches, we select cardboard with a smooth inner surface.

Packaging for the transport of building slabs and profiles typically includes: * **Pallets:** Wooden or plastic pallets are commonly used to group and stack materials, making them easier to handle with forklifts and other machinery. * **Strapping and Bands:** Steel, plastic, or composite strapping is used to secure stacks of slabs or profiles to pallets and to bundle them together. * **Protective Films and Wraps:** Stretch film, VCI (volatile corrosion inhibitor) film, or shrink wrap is often used to protect the materials from moisture, dust, dirt, and corrosion during transit. * **Corner Protectors:** Cardboard, plastic, or metal corner protectors are placed on the edges of slabs and profiles to prevent damage during handling and stacking. * **Wooden Crates or Boxes:** For smaller or more delicate items, or when extra protection is needed, wooden crates or boxes may be used. * **Bunding Bars/Supports:** For long profiles, special wooden or metal supports might be used to prevent sagging or bending. * **Edge Protectors:** Specifically designed cardboard or plastic strips that go along the edges of slabs to prevent chipping or breaking.

For the transport of plasterboard, OSB boards, aluminum and steel profiles, we use large-format cardboard wrappers and sleeves tailored to the dimensions of the load. Cardboard corner protectors, which protect the edges of the boards from mechanical damage during loading and unloading, complement this.

Can construction packaging be ordered with logistics markings?

Yes, we offer flexographic printing up to 4 colors, including logistical markings, handling symbols, catalog numbers, and other information required for the distribution of construction materials. Printing directly on the carton eliminates the need for additional labels.
