Inspection

Gemak works with many leading worldwide traders, both buyers and sellers of new and used web offset printing presses and auxiliary equipment. Our highly experienced inspectors and engineers provide a comprehensive range of checks which are designed to ensure that goods correspond to contractual specifications, and attempt to prevent damage in transit. Examples of typical services conducted during our Pre-Shipment Inspection include:

• Liaising with the supplier to ensure goods are treated with anti-corrosive chemicals.
• Checking printer and accessory serial numbers against supplied data from the buyer.
• Examining or witnessing the packing, wrapping, banding, boxing or strapping onto pallet of any auxiliary items or accessories.
• Tally/check off of items to be loaded against contract or packing list specification.
• Performing a general inspection of the equipment, recording markings and identifying any potential damage which is immediately reported to the principal.
• Inspecting the shipping container to ensure it is clean, dry and in an acceptable condition to transport the designated goods.
• Constant supervision of container loading operations to ensure that the goods are loaded without any damage.
• Verifying that the goods are securely stowed and lashed inside the container in order to prevent movement and costly transit damage.
• Obtaining photographic evidence prior to, during, and after completion of container loading.
• Witnessing container seal application.
• Providing a full written and photographic report by email and post
