How to hand off a decorative stainless package for fabrication
A seven-stage guide to package boundaries, revisions, finish records, first articles and packing hierarchy.
Finish scheduleWhat to include in a finish schedule for coloured stainless steel
Record the family, traceable reference, base texture, sample, visible face, direction and project-specific route.
Physical sampleWhy screen colour cannot approve reflective metal
Understand how base texture, light, viewing angle, geometry and batch change the observed appearance.
Grain directionHow direction changes a multi-panel elevation
Connect the approved sample, direction datum, visible faces, batch identity and repeatable viewing protocol.
First articleWhat to inspect on a folded decorative stainless first article
Define geometry, openings, returns, seam, surface, protection, identity and packaging before the batch.
IdentificationHow to label panels for floor, zone and installation sequence
Build the hierarchy from the customer's installation plan and keep it connected to the BOM and drawing revision.
ElevatorsWhat must be defined for lift interior and landing-door skins
Separate the decorative panel package from lift-system design, controls, qualification and site installation.
Specialist interfaceWhat to confirm before using stainless components in wet or high-traffic areas
Bring the drainage, waterproofing, slip, structural, code and maintenance requirements into the project review.
Partner-supportedHow anti-fingerprint and easy-clean routes affect project approval
Check appearance, colour route, forming sequence, cleaning expectations and required evidence before production.
Repeat ordersHow to reduce batch mismatch on furniture and millwork orders
Keep the retained sample, drawing revision, part number and batch record connected through production and reorder.
04 Colour and sample checklist
Make the physical reference traceable.
Screen previews help selection. Production approval needs a real sample linked to the finish schedule and current material route.
Sample record
- Physical sample ID
- Approval date and authority
- Viewing condition
- Retained sample location
Batch requirement
- Same-batch grouping
- Replacement strategy
- Reorder reference
- Permitted variation
Geometry response
- Flat reference
- Folded return
- Curved segment
- Opening and seam area
05 Public and wet areas
The metal component does not define the whole system.
State the environment, high-contact or high-traffic condition, drainage or waterproof interface, slip requirement, authority requirements, required documents and appointed specialist.
StelPanel reviews the drawing-defined metal scope. The customer or specialist retains system design, performance criteria and installation responsibility.
06 First article checklist
Agree what the first article must prove.
Approval should connect the component to the drawing revision and physical finish reference before production quantity is released.
Geometry
- Finished size
- Openings and cutouts
- Fold and return
- Curve or roll
Appearance
- Visible face
- Grain direction
- Seam or joint
- Edge condition
Protection
- Protective film
- Interlayer
- Corner protection
- Handling mark
Identity
- Part ID
- Drawing revision
- Finish reference
- Packing zone
07 Packing sequence
Let the installation plan define the crate hierarchy.
Choose the levels that matter: building, floor, zone, room, elevation, assembly and part. Connect the label to the BOM, packing list and drawing revision.
