Steel and Metal

In steel packaging work, most problems do not come from drawings or specifications. They usually appear after loading begins-when coils shift during transport, when straps are cut at the destination, or when rust marks are found on coated steel after sea freight.

Steel coil packaging for export is rarely challenged at the loading site. Issues usually surface weeks later-when the container is opened at the destination and surface marks, loosened positioning, or unloading risks become evident. This gap between loading and arrival is where packaging decisions reveal their real value.

This article provides a field-ready application guide for securing steel coils using Cordlash (woven lashing).

It focuses on practical design logic, load calculation, strap layout, buckle selection, installation procedures, inspection criteria, and validation methods.
