Sheet Metal Assembly & Export Packaging Services
MSTFAB combines custom sheet metal fabrication, mechanical enclosure assembly, final fit inspection and export packaging in one controlled handoff for OEM parts, housings, chassis and cabinet shells.
Included: fabricated parts and mechanical hardwareExcluded: electronics, wiring, software and finished-system certification
MSTFAB: Sheet Metal Assembly & Export Packaging in China
MSTFAB brings fabricated metal parts, mechanical hardware, fit checks and shipment protection into one drawing-based scope. We support OEM buyers with empty enclosures, cabinet shells, chassis, panels and bracket assemblies prepared to the approved drawings and bill of materials.
Assembly and packing requirements are reviewed together: which parts are installed, what must fit after finishing, which surfaces need protection and what the receiving team needs to verify. The quotation defines the agreed work, inspection records and packaging method for your order.

Features of Our Assembly & Packaging Services
Drawing & BOM Control
Confirm the approved drawing revision, item list, quantity and mechanical supply scope before assembly.
Specified Hardware
Match hardware part numbers, installation side, thread requirements and the agreed finishing sequence.
Finished-Part Fit
Review door gaps, latch engagement and removable-panel clearance in the finished condition.
Surface Protection
Use compatible film, foam or interlayers to separate visible faces from abrasive contact.
Accessory Control
Count and identify keys, screws, brackets and other loose items against the agreed BOM.
Shipment Restraint
Support the structural frame and control movement inside the selected pallet or crate.
Agreed Inspection
Define critical checks and the photographs or inspection records required before release.
Clear Identification
Agree part identification, package marks and packing-list details for the receiving team.
Mechanical Fit That Follows Your Drawing
Hinges, latches, removable panels and mounting brackets must work together after fabrication and finishing. We review the agreed fit points on representative finished parts so coating buildup, hardware position and access can be checked before release.
The drawings and BOM identify installed parts, loose accessories and the interfaces controlled by the buyer. Electrical assembly and complete-system testing remain with the OEM or system integrator.

Protection Planned for the Shipping Route
A finished metal enclosure needs protection against surface contact, movement and handling loads. We plan separators, corner guards and restraint around the part geometry, weight, finish and transport method.
Large cabinets may need a pallet or crate that supports the structural frame. Loose panels and hardware are secured separately, with package identification and packing photographs included when agreed in the shipment plan.

Assembly & Packaging for Sheet Metal Products
Industrial Cabinet Shells
Mechanical fit-up for empty cabinet bodies, doors, mounting plates and passive hardware. Packing is planned around the cabinet weight, finish and agreed lifting points.
Wall-Mounted Enclosures
Assembly of compact enclosure shells, covers, hinges, latches and mounting brackets. We review the finished fit and protect visible faces for handling and shipment.
Rack Chassis & Housings
Mechanical assembly of folded chassis, removable covers, brackets and panels. The scope covers the metal housing and passive hardware, with interfaces checked against the released drawings.
Panels, Brackets & Part Kits
Counted sets of fabricated panels and brackets packed with separators and identified loose hardware. Kit contents and the unpacking sequence are agreed before dispatch.

Assembly & Packaging Questions
What does sheet metal assembly include?
Sheet metal assembly can include specified PEM hardware, rivet nuts, weld nuts, studs, hinges, latches, handles, doors, covers, mounting plates, brackets, labels and mechanical accessory kits. The exact scope must be listed in the drawing and BOM.
Does MSTFAB install electronics, wiring or PLC controls?
No. MSTFAB’s standard scope is custom sheet metal fabrication and mechanical assembly. Electronics, wiring, pneumatic systems, programming, energization and complete-system certification remain with the buyer or system integrator.
What is export packaging for sheet metal parts?
Export packaging is the protection and restraint system used to move finished parts through handling and transport. It may combine film, bags, interlayers, foam, corner guards, cartons, pallets or project-specific wooden crates.
How are powder-coated enclosure surfaces protected?
Cosmetic faces are separated from abrasive contact with compatible film, foam or non-abrasive interlayers. Hardware bags, straps and crate supports should not press directly against visible coated surfaces.
When does a large cabinet need a wooden crate?
The decision depends on size, weight, center of gravity, finish, lifting points, shipment mode and receiving method. Large or fragile cabinets often require a pallet or crate with blocking that supports the structural frame rather than thin doors or covers.
Can MSTFAB provide assembly and packing photos?
Yes, when photographs are included in the agreed quality and shipment plan. The required views should identify the project, assembly status, accessory count, labels, protection and closed outer pack.
How are loose accessories controlled?
Keys, screws, brackets, labels and other loose items can be counted, bagged, identified and secured to an agreed receiving location. The BOM should distinguish installed items from loose shipment kits.
What information is needed for an assembly and packaging quote?
Send 2D drawings, STEP files, BOM, hardware list, material, finish, quantity, inspection requirements, destination, shipment method and packaging or marking instructions.
What Is Sheet Metal Assembly & Export Packaging?
Sheet metal assembly joins fabricated parts and specified mechanical hardware into a usable shell, chassis or subassembly. Export packaging protects that finished work through handling and transport. Both depend on the same approved drawings, BOM and acceptance requirements.
The supply scope may include doors, covers, hinges, latches, handles and mounting parts. Electronics, wiring, software and complete-equipment certification are controlled by the buyer or integrator.
Planning Your Assembly & Packaging Order
Confirm the Drawing Revision and BOM
Send the current 2D drawings and STEP assembly with a BOM that separates installed hardware from loose shipment items. Identify mating equipment and dimensions that affect fit. Use the RFQ file checklist to prepare the package.
Define the Finished Fit
Specify the gaps, mounting interfaces and access requirements that matter after finishing. Door swing, latch engagement, removable-panel clearance and hardware location should have clear acceptance points.
Agree the Hardware and Finish Sequence
State the hardware part numbers, installation sides and any thread or contact surfaces that need protection. The sequence should account for press access, welding, masking, coating and final mechanical fit-up.
Match Packing to the Part and Destination
Share the destination, transport method and receiving conditions. Packing decisions should account for the part’s shape, weight, finish and how the shipment will be lifted and unpacked.
- Separate cosmetic faces and protect corners.
- Support cabinet frames rather than thin doors or covers.
- Secure removable panels and identify loose accessories.
Define the Evidence Needed Before Release
Agree critical measurements, fit checks, accessory counts and required photographs before production. Where records are part of the order, they should identify the drawing revision and the corresponding parts or shipment.
Make Incoming Inspection Easier
Confirm package marks, packing-list details and where the receiving team will find keys, brackets and other accessories. Clear identification helps buyers check the shipment against the approved order.
