Packaging and Shipping Module
- Product Packaging
Each control arm is carefully packaged to ensure its arrival intact:
Protective Packaging: The control arm is first wrapped in a moisture-proof bag to prevent corrosion during storage and transportation. This protects the metal surface from moisture and humidity.
Foam Lining: This foam acts as a shock absorber, cushioning the control arm from impacts and vibrations during transportation.
Sturdy Carton: The control arm is placed in a high-quality corrugated carton, with foam padding filling the gaps to ensure a tight fit and prevent movement within the packaging.
Carton Labeling: Each carton is labeled with the product's original manufacturer's number (545011KA0B or 54500-4EA0A), barcode, and basic product information for easy identification.
