Neglecting the subject of protective packaging of steel during storage and external logistics will increase your total costs of ownership tremendously.

Buyers of packaging materials seem to increase the presure on prices without realising the expensive consequences. The pictures right of this page show some examples what can happen
when steel is transported over sea.

Main purposes for wrapping steel. 

Raincoat -Prevents water from outside to get in.
Moisture barrier -Keeps the internal RH constantly low.
Rigid shield -Prevents the packaging to be opened by external damage.
Absorber of condensate -Avoids water drops to initiate corrosion.
VCI transmitter -Expels active corrosion inhibitors on to the surface of the steel.
