#Internalshowcase “Packing with Pride” Packaging serves to, Offer an external protection barrier thereby minimising damage

during movement. Facilitate easy storage of material. Promote our brand names and differentiates SAFAL STEEL from the

competitors. Identify coils for processing using the information on the labels. We continually seek feedback from our customers to improve our standards. As a testament of this we recently introduced the supply of slit coils (578mm width), however our initial supply exhibited slight fretting marks, possibly caused by movement during transport. Since then, improvements made were to supply coils in an eye-to-sky orientation and with our branded packaging. This was well received by the customer. Well done to the teams involved. There are further improvement plans in place to improve our packaging and enhance our brand image.
