The Tile Plant

Tile Production (6): Finally the tiles are
packed in polyethylene and then wooden crates (for added protection).
The most popular tiles are 30 x 30 x 10 mm and 30.5 x 30.5 x 10
mm (12" x 12" x 3/8") They are packed 10 to a box and a typical
container load would have the equivalent of 750 square metres, meaning
between 805 to 835 boxes.

The Packaging Warehouse: This image shows
calibrated tiles packed ready for shipment by container. Our customers
specify whether they require a "Closed Unit" or "Open Top" depending
upon their handling methods. Many choose "Closed Units" which means
the container is completely sealed before shipping to prevent pilferage
however some "Open Top" units do have removable tops.

Crates of tiles packed ready for shipment. Before
loading all the crates will have shipping marks painted on them
for easy identification and Customs purposes.
