Package & Storage
Our packing method is 1KG/Aluminium bags, 25kg/drum
For some products that require special packaging during
transportation, we will carry out more delicate packaging. For
example, retinal needs to be stored at -20 °C, so we choose cold
chain transportation during transportation; deoxyarbutin will
change color during transportation, so we will Vacuum packing of
deoxyarbutin
