Common nails are usually polished rather than galvanized. This is different from roofing nails and concrete nails which are often galvanized because they are used in the exterior.
Sometimes ordinary nails are also galvanized for its exterior use.

Packaging
Polished common nails are prone to rust so should be packed inside plastic. In practice, they are usually packed inside a plastic wrap or polybag before being packed into the carton box.
The plastic wrap helps to prevent the nails from getting rust. Sometimes small white boxes are used instead of plastic wrap. Because the white box can not only protect the nails from being rusted it can also protect the outer boxes being damaged.
One carton box of ordinary nails usually weighs from 1kgs to 25kgs depending on the requirement of the customer. We also offer custom branding for customers who want to sell the product with their own brand.
The packaging method is a big influence factor for the common nail prices.
