Project-specific planning

Packaging Planned Around Your Project

The package is planned around the approved furniture and handling route.

The final method is confirmed in project documents.

Finished product reference — Finished counter condition checked before the wrapping and crating sequence.

Size and module split

Confirm overall dimensions, module divisions and handling needs.

Exposed finishes

Mark finished faces, edges, openings and detachable parts.

Handling route

Confirm transport mode, handling stages and access limits.

Destination access

Share the unloading point and route-to-position constraints.

Protection planning

Surface and Corner Protection

Protect visible surfaces, curved edges and vulnerable components before crating.

  • Surface protection

    Cover approved visible finishes before handling.

    Finish-specific
  • Edge and corner review

    Identify exposed profiles that need added protection.

    Geometry-specific
  • Wrapping and separation

    Separate projecting or detachable components where required.

    Component-specific

Materials and layers depend on the approved furniture and route.

Buyer questions

Packaging & Installation Questions

Confirm the practical decisions that affect protection, transport and site readiness.

What information is needed to plan packaging and delivery?

Share the approved furniture drawings, overall dimensions, quantity, destination and site access details. Packaging and delivery requirements should be confirmed for the project before dispatch.

Is the same crate used for every furniture order?

Do not assume one crate specification applies to every order. Confirm the protection, support and crate requirements against the furniture design, handling conditions and agreed shipment plan.

How should separate components be identified?

Confirm the package labels, component references and drawing revision that will be used for your project. Receiving and installation teams should compare the supplied references with the final packing list and approved drawings.

Which shipping documents should be confirmed?

Review the commercial invoice, packing list and transport document requirements with the agreed logistics provider. Origin, insurance or other documents depend on the destination, shipping arrangement and project agreement.

Are transit time and door-to-door delivery guaranteed?

Do not assume a fixed transit time or door-to-door service. Confirm the route, estimated schedule, delivery point and responsibilities in the agreed shipment arrangements.

Is transport insurance included in every order?

Do not assume transport insurance is included. Confirm whether it is arranged, who is responsible and what documentation applies before shipment.

What should the receiving team check?

Confirm package counts, identification and visible condition against the shipment documents. Record visible damage or discrepancies and contact the agreed project and logistics representatives before proceeding with affected components.

What should be ready before installation?

Check the approved drawings, site dimensions, access route, support interfaces and equipment connections. Protect completed surfaces and coordinate structural, electrical or plumbing work with the responsible qualified trades.

Does YHS provide on-site installation in every country?

Do not assume on-site installation is available or included for every destination. Confirm the support format, scope and responsibilities with YHS for the specific project.

What should we provide when requesting installation support?

Share the project reference, relevant approved drawing, component identification, clear photographs and a description of the issue. Confirm the available support and next steps within the agreed project scope.

Final responsibilities follow the approved project and shipment documents.
