Assembly, packaging, and shipping
Olymco, Inc. lists light assembly, custom packaging, and direct shipment to a third party among the services that follow finishing at its Canton, Ohio plant. Include those requirements with your plating or coating request, so the complete job is reviewed as one scope rather than two.
What kind of program is this for?
These services may help when finished parts need assembly before packing, customer-specific packaging, or delivery directly to the next operation. Olymco also lists incoming inspection, inventory control, and storage of customer material. Olymco says it can add equipment or store extra parts to meet a customer’s program. Confirm the scope and terms for your program.
Light assembly may involve installing pins, fasteners, or sub-components and performing light press work. Describe the steps, identify who supplies each component, and include any fit, orientation, or torque requirements.
Packaging and shipping need the same level of detail. State how visible surfaces must be protected, what labels and documents are required, and whether finished parts return to you or ship to another destination.
Describe the sequence from incoming parts to finished shipment, including who supplies the packaging. Call (330) 452-2300 to arrange how to share detailed instructions.
