  1. 01

    Strapping

    PET plastic strap or steel strap. PET is easy to unpack and easy to recycle.

  2. 02

    Edge Protection

    All the way round, on every side, for maximum protection. Reduces transport damage.

  3. 03

    Top Layer

    VCI film. Vapour-phase corrosion protection plus weather and moisture barrier.

  4. 04

    Base Layer

    Separates the sheets from the wooden pallet. No moisture reaches the sheet.

  5. 05

    Base Structure

    Sturdy wooden pallet. Protects the sheet from stress caused by bending and during transport.

No rust.
No dents.
No discussion.

Performance figures, savings and percentage values are based on reference cases and operational experience under defined conditions. Actual results depend in particular on material, dimensions, handling, storage and transport.

Structure

Five elements.
One system.

Every element has a purpose. Together they form a seamless protection system — from the base to the strapping.

01

Base Structure

Sturdy wooden pallet. Protects the sheet from stress caused by bending and during transport.

02

Base Layer

Separates the sheets from the wooden pallet. No moisture reaches the sheet.

03

Top Layer

VCI film. Vapour-phase corrosion protection plus weather and moisture barrier.

04

Edge Protection

All the way round, on every side, for maximum protection. Reduces transport damage.

05

Strapping

PET plastic strap or steel strap. PET is easy to unpack and easy to recycle.

Process

How it works.

Step 01

Place

Place the sheet metal package on the prepared pallet. Base layer already pre-assembled.

Step 02

Protect

Pull the VCI top layer over the entire package. Corrosion protection active.

Step 03

Secure edges

Position protective profiles all the way round on every edge. Mechanical protection established.

Step 04

Seal

Lay the top layer all around and smooth it out. All-round protection complete.

Step 05

Fix

Apply PET strapping. Steel strap as an alternative.

Step 06

Return

Release strapping, remove edge protection, fold the film aside, remove sheets. Lay the film back; pallet returns into the cycle.

Heritage

Since 1913.
Steel in our blood.

We once manufactured doors and gates. Today they stand open for new ideas. Felix Waldner GmbH looks back on over a century of experience in steel and sheet metal processing — CORROpack® is the result of this expertise.

Not a laboratory product. But practice that became a system.

FAQ

Questions.
Answers.

Depends on storage conditions. In dry indoor storage: typically 12–24 months of VCI protection. For outdoor storage or longer periods, we provide individual consultation.
Yes. Designed for multiple opening and closing — without special tools, without losing corrosion protection. Partial removal possible at any time.
Premium: all formats, edge protection on 4 sides, maximum load capacity. Eco: 3 standard formats, edge protection on long sides, significantly reduced costs and wood usage.
PET plastic strap by default, steel strap as an alternative. PET is easy to unpack and easy to recycle.
Plastic strapping can be easily opened with a utility knife.
Pure materials, easily separable:
  • Film: Plastic
  • Strapping: PET plastic or steel
  • Edge protection: Steel
  • Pallet: Wood (reusable)
Yes. The wooden pallets are designed for the return cycle. Multiple use depending on condition.
Premium: standard and custom formats as specified. Eco: 1000×2000, 1250×2500 and 1500×3000 mm.
Do not cut the film. Release the strapping, remove the edge protection and fold the film aside. After removal, lay the film back over the remaining sheets; for optimum protection, refit the edge protection and re-strap.
