Marble's export packaging has to solve a different problem from ceramics: it's not just about preventing breakage, it's about managing genuine weight.
Why weight changes the packaging approach
Marble is significantly heavier than ceramic per unit volume. That affects carton strength requirements, how pallets are loaded and secured, and how container weight is distributed — a container packed the way you'd pack ceramics could be unevenly loaded or exceed practical handling weight per carton.
What goes into marble export packaging
- Cushioning suited to both the weight and the fragility of natural stone edges and corners.
- Carton and crating strength rated for the actual product weight, not a generic spec.
- Weight-aware palletizing and load distribution within the container.
FCL vs LCL for marble
Both are available, but weight matters more in the planning either way — a full container load (FCL) gives more control over how weight is distributed, while less-than-container-load (LCL) shipments need packaging robust enough for the additional handling that comes with consolidation.
What to expect
Packaging is planned at the order level against your specific product mix and volume — not applied generically — and is confirmed as part of your quotation, in addition to the standard export documentation every order receives.
