With ISPM Standard, our Packaging is safe during the shipping process. Before we pack the stone to ISPM Box, we use tied belt on the stone pack. This tied belt will keep the stone safe in the box. We also use styrofoams to keep the stone from pressures during the shipping process. Then, we pack it in the ISPM box and use an iron belt for the ISPM box. This iron belt will keep the box safe during the shipping process.

Stuffing Lava Stone Tiles

For the stuffing process, we use a forklift with a professional drive. We need a professional driver because the stone is very heavy and difficult to move it. Our professional driver and team will set the stone packing safe for a shipping process.
