Surface Preparation to Delivery
At Great Dane, our Quality and Sales teams work closely with every customer to capture the precise details of each project through what we call an ID Sheet. Fully customized to your specifications, the ID Sheet ensures that every requirement—dimensions, finishes, tolerances, and special instructions—is clearly documented and communicated across all departments. Every operator, from quoting and receiving to pretreatment, coating, inspection, and packaging, relies on this information to keep your project running smoothly and consistently.
From the moment your order is placed, we simplify and streamline the entire process. By coordinating every detail up front, we manage your project through every step so you don’t have to juggle multiple vendors or handoffs.
Our goal is a truly turnkey workflow: you ship, and we deliver finished components that are powder-coated, assembled, labeled, and packaged to your exact requirements. The result? Fewer touchpoints, minimized delays, and a seamless path from production to shipment—making your experience with Great Dane efficient, reliable, and worry-free.
Custom Cleaning, Laboratory Finish & Sandblasting
A perfect powder coat starts with proper surface preparation. Oils, rust, mill scale, or other contaminants can compromise adhesion, coverage, and long-term durability—leading to rework, downtime, and costly failures. At Great Dane, we understand that the quality of your coating depends on the quality of your surface prep.
Our team evaluates each part and recommends the optimal method—ultrasonic cleaning, chemical stripping, sandblasting, or custom etching—so your surfaces are perfectly ready for powder coating. Working with trusted partners and leveraging years of experience, we ensure your parts consistently meet your specifications and industry standards.
Why Great Dane? Customers rely on us for our proven expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to delivering results that last. From complex geometries to demanding finishes, we provide the preparation your parts need to perform flawlessly.
Custom Masking
Achieving a flawless, durable powder coating finish starts with meticulous preparation, and precision masking plays a critical role in this process. Our custom masking services ensure that only the surfaces you specify receive coating, protecting sensitive or functional areas from unwanted coverage. This is especially important for threads, tight-tolerance surfaces, shafts, openings, or other functional features where coating buildup could interfere with fit, movement, or assembly.
We use high-temperature masking materials, including specialized tapes and silicone plugs, to shield critical areas, while our team can design custom solutions for complex geometries or repeat production runs. Proper masking not only enhances the visual quality of your parts but also contributes to their performance and durability, leaving functional areas uncoated while protecting the integrity of the finished product.

Packing Services
After parts are powder-coated and cured, and after any assembly and labeling steps, we pack the parts back onto your skid or into the boxes provided. To help prevent scuffs, dents, or abrasions during transit, our packing team uses protective materials such as foam, cardboard, and paper to ensure a safe shipment.
If your order requires extra documentation or inserts, we can print and include custom instruction sheets or package additional printed materials you provide. The goal is simple: your order arrives protected, complete, and ready for your next step.
