Photograph any visible transit damage before the pallets are broken down, because the packaging condition is part of the evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Break down one pallet per production batch and check the actual panel: the thickness, the facing, the edge condition and the bond. Check a cut-off edge in section if the bond method matters to the application.<\/p>\n<p>Record the findings on the delivery paperwork before signing, and note any shortage or damage specifically rather than a general remark. A consignment signed with a general remark is very difficult to claim against later, and the claim is easier to make at the point of delivery than three weeks afterwards.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sec-2\">Labelling that makes goods-in and site handling work<\/h2>\n<p>A label that identifies the project, the area, the grade and the batch turns a pallet of panels into a managed consignment rather than an anonymous stack.<\/p>\n<p>The identifiers that matter in practice are the project and area reference, so that panels reach the place they are needed; the product grade and thickness, so the wrong panel is not used; and the batch number, so that a defect can be traced to a production run.<\/p>\n<p>On a multi-area project, labelling by area is what allows a delivery to be sequenced. A consignment marked for three areas means three deliveries and three stock takes, whereas a consignment marked for one area can be issued complete.<\/p>\n<p>For a reusable fleet, adding an individual panel number to the label is what makes the return count meaningful and lets a damaged panel be traced. It costs almost nothing at the factory and is impossible to add later.<\/p>\n<p>For terminology and test-method context see <a href=\"https:\/\/iccwbo.org\/business-solutions\/incoterms-rules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">International Chamber of Commerce<\/a>. The guidance on this page is practical site guidance, not a test report or a certificate.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sec-3\">How humidity and temperature affect a shipment<\/h2>\n<p>A container on an ocean route can pass through conditions that damage the panels, and the packing choice determines whether that happens.<\/p>\n<p>Condensation forms when a container or a cover is closed over a warm and humid load, particularly during the change from a warm port to a cool sea. The condensation runs down onto the top of the stack and onto the faces of the uppermost panels.<\/p>\n<p>Paper and kraft facings absorb that moisture and can be stained or deformed, while a polypropylene film facing sheds it. Where the shipment includes a long ocean leg or a change of climate, the facing choice matters more than usual.<\/p>\n<p>Venting helps. A breathable cover and a load that is not sealed against a plastic liner allows the moisture to escape, and it costs very little to specify. The rule of thumb is that a panel that arrived damp should be allowed to dry before it is stacked, not wrapped while it is wet.<\/p>\n<div style=\"overflow-x:auto;margin:22px 0\">\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;font-size:15px\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\" style=\"border:1px solid #ccd9dc;padding:10px;text-align:left;background:#f4f8f9\">Trade question<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\" style=\"border:1px solid #ccd9dc;padding:10px;text-align:left;background:#f4f8f9\">Short answer<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\" style=\"border:1px solid #ccd9dc;padding:10px;text-align:left;background:#f4f8f9\">Document to request<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\" style=\"border:1px solid #ccd9dc;padding:10px;text-align:left;background:#f4f8f9\">In this guide<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #ccd9dc;padding:10px;vertical-align:top\">What should be checked about inspecting a consignment on arrival?<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #ccd9dc;padding:10px;vertical-align:top\">A goods-in inspection takes twenty minutes and determines whether a defect is found now or after &#8230;<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #ccd9dc;padding:10px;vertical-align:top\">Check the pallet count against the packing list and confirm the marks and the batch &#8230;<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #ccd9dc;padding:10px;vertical-align:top\"><a href=\"#sec-1\">Section 1<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #ccd9dc;padding:10px;vertical-align:top\">What should be checked about labelling that makes goods-in and site &#8230;<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #ccd9dc;padding:10px;vertical-align:top\">A label that identifies the project, the area, the grade and the batch turns a pallet &#8230;<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #ccd9dc;padding:10px;vertical-align:top\">The identifiers that matter in practice are the project and area reference, so that panels &#8230;<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #ccd9dc;padding:10px;vertical-align:top\"><a href=\"#sec-2\">Section 2<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #ccd9dc;padding:10px;vertical-align:top\">How humidity and temperature affect a shipment?<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #ccd9dc;padding:10px;vertical-align:top\">A container on an ocean route can pass through conditions that damage the panels, and the &#8230;<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #ccd9dc;padding:10px;vertical-align:top\">Condensation forms when a container or a cover is closed over a warm and humid &#8230;<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #ccd9dc;padding:10px;vertical-align:top\"><a href=\"#sec-3\">Section 3<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #ccd9dc;padding:10px;vertical-align:top\">What should be checked about protecting panels in transit?<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #ccd9dc;padding:10px;vertical-align:top\">A protection board is a semi-rigid panel with fragile edges, and the damage in transit is &#8230;<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #ccd9dc;padding:10px;vertical-align:top\">The most effective protection is edge and corner protection, because that is where the damage &#8230;<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #ccd9dc;padding:10px;vertical-align:top\"><a href=\"#sec-4\">Section 4<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"sec-4\">Protecting panels in transit<\/h2>\n<p>A protection board is a semi-rigid panel with fragile edges, and the damage in transit is concentrated at the edges and corners rather than in the faces.<\/p>\n<p>The most effective protection is edge and corner protection, because that is where the damage starts. Corner guards on the pallets, edge strips on the panels and a tight strap without crushing the stack will prevent the majority of transit damage.<\/p>\n<p>Banding should be tight enough to stop the panels moving but not so tight that it crushes the face sheets, and it should be applied to the pallet rather than to individual panels wherever the format allows. Strapping individual panels is slower and less effective.<\/p>\n<p>The stack should be kept flat and the pallets should not be stacked more than the specified height. A tall stack that has shifted in the container produces damage in the middle of the load that is not visible until the pallet is broken down on site.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sec-5\">Edge chipping and the cost of unprotected stacking<\/h2>\n<p>Chipping at the edge is the most common damage to a panel in a reuse programme, and it is almost entirely caused by how panels are stored and moved.<\/p>\n<p>The exposed cellular edge of a honeycomb panel is fragile. Dragging a panel across a floor, dropping one on its corner or stacking one on top of another with the edges misaligned will all chip the edge, and a chipped edge is where the panel will fail first.<\/p>\n<p>Edge protection solves this directly. A capping strip, a wrapped edge or a board with a closed edge profile protects the vulnerable section and extends the working life of the panel considerably, particularly in a fleet that is handled repeatedly.<\/p>\n<p>Storing panels with a consistent orientation, so that each panel rests on the same edge and the load runs down the walls rather than across them, reduces chipping without any extra cost. Mixed orientation stacking is the reason so many panels arrive with damaged corners.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sec-6\">Sampling before a full order<\/h2>\n<p>A sample panel should be tested for the things that will actually fail on the site, and a general product sample rarely tests any of them.<\/p>\n<p>The most valuable sample test is simply to lay the panel on the actual floor and walk on it the way the site will. That reveals grip, movement under traffic, whether the surface marks, and how the seams behave, none of which appear in a datasheet.<\/p>\n<p>A second test is the point-load test: put a loaded tool case or a scaffold base plate on the panel for an hour and measure the indentation and the residual deformation. A small even indentation is acceptable, a sharp permanent impression is not.<\/p>\n<p>A third test is the wet test in a corner: wet the panel and check whether the facing holds and whether the core absorbs water at the edges. This is quick and it is where failures tend to originate later on.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"faq-1\">How do humidity and temperature affect a shipment?<\/h3>\n<p>A goods-in inspection takes twenty minutes and determines whether a defect is found now or after it has been laid.
