Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide thin-gauge slitting and surface protection for aluminum coil and strip?
Yes. We specialize in thin-gauge aluminum slitting with tight edge control to maintain clean, burr-free edges. Protective interleaving film and wrapping are available to prevent surface marking or scratching during handling and transit.
What coil IDs, ODs, and packaging options do you offer?
We supply standard coil IDs and ODs and can provide oscillate or ribbon-wound packaging to improve uptime and reduce scrap. Core types and custom packaging are available upon request.
Do you provide certifications, compliance documentation, and origin traceability?
Every order includes mill test reports (MTRs) and ISO 9001:2015 documentation. RoHS, REACH, and Proposition 65 statements are available with each shipment, and domestic or DFARS-compliant sourcing can be arranged as needed.
What are your minimum order quantities, and do you offer stocking or JIT programs?
Typical minimums start at approximately 25 pounds per size. We also support stocking and just-in-time (JIT) release programs to accommodate recurring production schedules and minimize downtime.
