304/304L No.4 Stainless Steel Sheet to Canada: 5 ft × 10 ft with Novacel 4228 Film

Look closely at the sheets as they leave the cut-to-length line: the printed protective film remains in place, while successive sheet edges build an orderly stack. For this Canadian customer’s 304/304L NO.4 4228 Stainless Steel Sheet order, Sheye Metal treated surface protection and careful stacking as essential parts of processing.

The specified sheet size was 1.5 × 1524 × 3048 mm—a nominal 1.5 mm thickness in the familiar 5 ft × 10 ft format. The accompanying close-up video focuses on sheet discharge and stacking. It offers a view of the handling details at the line exit, following the coil finishing, film application and edge trimming described below.

304/304L No.4 sheets in 1524 × 3048 mm: the Canada order

The dimensions above describe the ordered size. For buyers planning a similar 304/304L No.4 4228 stainless steel sheet in 1524 × 3048 mm, the finish, film, edge condition and handling requirements should be agreed alongside the dimensions. Our 304 stainless steel sheet and 304L stainless steel sheet pages provide a starting point for discussing grade requirements.

Finish the coil first, then apply the protective film

For this order, Sheye first processed the coil to the specified No.4 finish. The protective film was then applied before the material entered the cut-to-length stage. This sequence allows surface finishing and protection to be planned together, with the finished face covered for subsequent processing and stacking.

The photograph shows the printed NOVACEL film and the aligned edges of the completed stack. The No.4 surface itself is beneath the film. Our No.4 finish guide introduces the finish, and buyers can discuss their required appearance and any reference sample through our surface finishing service.

Belt-tension film application with both edges trimmed

Sheye used a belt-tension machine to apply the NOVACEL 4228 laser film, while trimming both edges of the coil together with the film. Treating the material and film edges in the same operation prepares the protected coil for the next processing stage.

The purpose of the belt-tension arrangement is to help prevent the film from being pulled or scratched during application and handling. Maintaining the film’s condition before levelling helps preserve its protective role as the material travels through the line. For a demanding surface-finish order, care at this stage supports the work that follows.

A close-up view of sheet discharge and stacking

The workshop video brings the viewer close to the point where the sheets are discharged and stacked. The protective film stays on the sheet faces, and the stack builds with orderly edges. These visible details show why handling deserves attention alongside cutting to the specified size.

A well-presented stack reflects coordination between sheet discharge, support and alignment. The aim is to protect the finished face while preparing a pack that can be handled and separated for the customer’s next operation. Sheye’s cut-to-length processing connects levelling and sheet-length preparation with this final stacking stage.

Keep protection in place through delivery preparation

For this order to Canada, the customer’s high expectations shaped the workflow from coil finishing through the sheets leaving the line. Film condition, edge presentation and stack alignment were part of the same quality objective: preparing usable sheets for the agreed downstream work.

After processing, the protection and handling requirements also inform export packing. Buyers should share any special packing, lifting or unloading requirements when placing an order, so that preparation can reflect how the material will be received and used.
