Star Galaxy Granite Tile Plant

Granite Tile Production (6): Finally the tiles are packed in recycled cardboard packing and then wooden crates (for added protection). The most popular tiles are 30 x 30 x 10 mm and 30.5 x 30.5 x 10 mm (12" x 12" x 3/8") They are packed 10 to a box and a typical container load would have the equivalent of 750 square metres, meaning between 805 to 835 boxes.

The Packaging Warehouse: This image shows calibrated granite tiles packed ready for shipment by container. Our customers specify whether they require a "Closed Unit" or "Open Top" depending upon their handling methods. Many choose "Closed Units" which means the container is completely sealed before shipping to prevent pilferage however some "Open Top" units do have removable tops.

Crates of tiles packed ready for shipment. Before loading all the crates will have shipping marks painted on them for easy identification and Customs purposes.
