To prevent damage to aluminum profiles during transportation and storage, follow these practices: Use protective packaging such as bubble wrap or foam padding to cushion the profiles. Ensure that profiles are stacked evenly and securely to avoid pressure points. Store profiles in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent warping or corrosion. Secure the cargo during transportation to prevent shifting, and handle with care to avoid dropping or mishandling. Regularly inspect storage areas for potential hazards like pests or leaks that could cause damage.
