Sealed and Shielded
At John Pipe International, we prioritise the safety of your exports. Using advanced aluminium foil packing techniques, we protect your goods from corrosion, moisture, and contamination during transit. Whether you’re exporting heavy machinery or sensitive equipment, our foil-wrapping solutions ensure your cargo arrives in perfect condition.
What is Aluminium Foil Packing?
Keeping Your Cargo Safe and Secure
Aluminium foil packing involves wrapping your items in a moisture-resistant foil, adding desiccant to absorb any remaining moisture, and sealing the package securely. We then extract some of the air inside to reduce bulk and moisture, ensuring your goods are protected and optimised for transport. Once sealed, the wrapped items are placed into a custom-built wooden case, designed specifically for your shipment.
Why Choose Aluminium Foil Packing?
- Corrosion Protection: Aluminium foil creates an airtight barrier, protecting your cargo from light, oxygen, moisture, and bacteria.
- Space Efficiency: By extracting air, we reduce the size of your goods, which can help lower shipping costs.
- Customised Solutions: Every package is tailored to your cargo’s size, weight, and transport needs.
Benefits of Aluminium Foil Packaging
Reduce the Bulk and Keep Your Export Safe

- Light Protection: No light exposure to your cargo.
- Moisture Control: No moisture infiltration.
- Oxygen & Bacteria Barrier: Keeps your goods safe from contamination.
- Bulk Reduction: Reduces the size of your goods, optimising for space and cost-efficiency.
