Packaging & Delivery

Packaging and delivery are quoted according to grade, configuration, order volume and destination. The published configurations are below; bag counts, pallet builds, minimum quantities and lead times are confirmed on quotation rather than published as fixed figures.

Shipping origin and freight

Material is distributed from Stockton, California. Freight is quoted to the named destination on request; a quotation therefore needs the delivery city, postal code or port, and the packaging format, before it can be priced. Bulk, super-sack and palletized bag shipments are arranged per order.

Geographic service area

Domestic and export enquiries are handled from the Stockton distribution point. Feasibility and cost for a given destination are confirmed on quotation.

Minimum order quantity and lead time

Not published. Both depend on the grade, configuration and current availability and are stated in the quotation.

Information required for a quotation

  • Required particle sizing or target specification
  • Intended process or application
  • Estimated order quantity and annual volume
  • Packaging format
  • Delivery destination: city, postal code or port
  • Any standard or specification to be met
  • Documents required with the shipment

These are the same inputs listed in the controlled grade sheets. Supplying them in the first request avoids a round of clarification.

Private label and labelling

AragoCor Minerals offers private-label options matched to grade, sizing, packaging and volume. Artwork, claims and regulatory text on a private label are the labelling party’s responsibility and are agreed per programme. Standard AragoCor Minerals packaging carries the company’s own artwork.

Sample policy

Samples of the published grades are available on request for evaluation. State the grade or target range, the intended application and the destination. Samples are for evaluation in the buyer’s own process or system; they are not a guaranteed specification, which is agreed per contract and confirmed per lot by certificate of analysis.
