After sealing, moisture may also be released from the material
Upholstered furniture consists of a wooden frame, fabric or leather, filling and packaging. We incorporate moisture-proof configurations into each layer of materials to carry water, encapsulate air, and allow water vapour to enter during storage and transportation.
When configuring moisture-proof materials, we divide the sources of moisture into three parts: the original moisture in the encapsulated air, the moisture gradually released by the product and auxiliary materials, and the moisture that gradually penetrates outside the packaging. Only estimating the volume of empty cartons can easily miss the load of the material itself.
The wooden frame stage and the finished product packaging stage are arranged separately
The wooden frame stage covers the moisture absorption position inside the structure, and the finished product stage covers the outer packaging space, and is matched in layers according to the coating layer and barrier structure.
The photos record the location of the mineral desiccant near the wooden frame and the material for packaging the finished product, showing the moisture absorption arrangement of the two processes.
Connection between production drying and packaging moisture absorption
After the wood, glue layer and covering material have been dried accordingly, the hygroscopic material can be added. Wooden frames, bottom coverings, fillers and cartons are inspected simultaneously, and abnormal materials are classified and processed.
We divide the space according to the covering and blocking methods of the wooden frame, bottom and outer packaging, so that the hygroscopic materials are arranged to cover the corresponding moisture paths.
Design moisture-proof amount according to furniture structure
It is also a single piece of furniture. Different wooden frame materials, packaging volumes, sealing methods and shipping seasons may require different moisture-proof configurations. Long-term warehousing and long-distance transportation must also be evaluated based on the external environment and packaging moisture resistance.
We test-assemble the current furniture and packaging, record the material status, desiccant type and location, and optimize the configuration based on storage and transportation observations.
Packing checklist remains in the packaging process
The materials are mould-proof and the packaging is hygroscopic. Furniture with mould stains should be grouped according to material, cleaned and dried, and the damaged parts should be treated for follow-up protection.
- The wooden frame, glue layer and covering materials have been dried accordingly, and abnormal materials have been isolated.
- The carton, lining and bottom packaging are free from moisture and mould, and the moisture-proof material packaging is complete.
- Place according to the trial installation plan, taking into account the moisture absorption channel between the furniture structure and the cladding layer.
- Record the sealing time, packaging configuration and shipping conditions to facilitate subsequent unpacking and review.
Frequently asked questions
How to layer furniture wooden frames and outer packaging to prevent moisture?
Yes. The wooden frame and cladding materials may continue to release moisture, and the configuration inside the outer box may not cover the cladded space inside. Material drying and packaging configuration should be checked separately.
What is the basis for the dosage of furniture desiccant?
Engineers calculate the configuration based on the furniture volume, wooden frame and auxiliary material status, packaging moisture resistance and storage and transportation cycle, and then determine the location through trial assembly.
How to connect furniture production drying and packaging moisture absorption?
The wood, glue layer and coating materials are produced and dried first, and the desiccant in the packaging is responsible for moisture absorption in the space after packaging. The two are continuously matched.
