Q: How are zippers packed for export shipping?
Export packing for zippers is usually built around protection and count accuracy. Zippers are commonly bundled or bagged in inner packs of a fixed quantity, then packed in a carton with a polybag liner to keep out moisture. The inner pack should be labelled with the style, size, colour and quantity, and the carton should carry the shipping marks. Ask whether the zipper is packed open or closed, and whether the slider is protected, because a loose slider can scratch a plated finish in transit. Confirm the carton strength and the maximum weight, since a heavy carton is more likely to crush. For a humid destination, ask about a desiccant or a moisture barrier. Check that the packing matches the packing list before dispatch, and keep one carton sealed as a reference. If the goods go by air, the carton size may need to fit a pallet or a container dimension.
