Export Week specs
Machine data and planning figures for Export Week.
Specification points that shape Export Week
Export Week Specs focuses on the shipment side of machine supply rather than the press alone. It gathers the practical details around crating, dimensions, documentation, and handling requirements for cross-border moves.
Export Week Specs sets out the shipment figures that matter before a press leaves the works. It records crated dimensions, lifting points, power data, and the documents needed for customs and receiving checks. For CI, narrow-web, and stack equipment, these details change with print width, dryer arrangement, and the mix of loose and assembled sections.
The first reference to keep is the dispatch image set for each crate and press section. Receiving teams use it to verify packing condition, identify the correct unloading order, and match labels to the packing list. That helps when a machine arrives at a Durban depot, an inland warehouse, or a customer site with limited crane time booked.
Crate data for cross-border dispatch
Buyers and site teams need usable shipping numbers, handling notes, and a machine layout summary before freight and installation planning begins. It names what ships assembled, what ships separately, and what must be checked before power-up after transit. Export planning for a flexo press is easier when the dimensions, weights, and utility requirements sit in one record.
Use Export Week Specs with the matching machine file before finalising freight and site access. Check the crate count, gross masses, electrical requirements, and unloading method against the receiving address and door sizes. If you send details through the contact form, include the press model, destination country, and whether the delivery point is portside, warehoused, or direct to site.

South African dispatch conditions
Exports moving through Durban and OR Tambo need different planning around packaging, handover, and document control. A wide CI press may require separate handling notes for frames, dryers, and ancillaries, while a narrow-web line can hinge on crate sequencing and customs descriptions. Older industrial sites in Gauteng also need access checks for turning space, roller doors, and forklift capacity before delivery day.
Coastal storage can affect exposed metal if packing is delayed near the port. Inland routes bring dust, vibration, and longer road legs, so sensor assemblies, impression settings, and loose components need secure packing and a clear recheck list on arrival. Where power supply is unstable, the recommissioning note should show phase, load, and start-up checks before the first web is threaded.

Documents packed with the press
Use Export Week for packaging work aimed at cross-border supply, where press options, substrates and pack consistency matter.
Keep the specification sheet with the commercial invoice, packing list, and site preparation record for the same shipment. The most useful version shows serial references, utility needs, crate markings, and any parts travelling outside the main machine crates. Buyers and receiving teams usually need that set when customs queries, unloading plans, or installation booking dates are being reviewed.
