Selecting an ideal packaging method for product shipping is of critical importance. There are various forms of packaging with their own set of advantages.
Primary packaging refers to any packaging which comes into direct contact with a product and forms part of its stock-keeping unit (SKU). Secondary packaging serves to safeguard this primary packaging from its time of leaving the factory to when it reaches store shelves.
Corrugated Boxes
Corrugated boxes are a common form of packaging and come in an assortment of sizes and shapes to meet a company’s specific needs and brand image. Custom designed corrugated boxes can even be custom created specifically to ship products or create retail displays for retail displays – giving businesses another convenient tool in their arsenal for shipping goods or creating retail displays.
Corrugated fiberboard production involves adhering flat sheets of liner and corrugated medium together using glue. There are four distinct board constructions, such as single-wall and double-wall boards; single-face boards consist of one fluted sheet of corrugated medium adhered between two facings of liner glued on flat faces of corrugated medium; while double-wall boards contain three sheets of liner adhered between two sheets of corrugated medium, and triple-wall boards contain three layers of corrugated medium and four layers of liner glued between layers of corrugated medium and four facings glued onto two sheets of corrugated medium.
Once a box has been constructed, it must pass the Mullen test and obtain an Ect-rated BMC (box maker’s certificate). This document identifies its creator while also providing some quick specifications such as type of fluting used, number of walls (whether single, double or triple wall), minimum combined weight facings per liner etc.
Paperboard Carton
Paperboard cartons are composed of different kinds of paper and board derived from virgin and recycled fibres, used to package liquids, powders and granules and solid foods. Moisture-barrier coating is often applied over these cartons in order to protect their contents against high humidity environments and extend shelf life.
Packaging may be designed to meet different product shapes, and cartons may close via heat sealing, locking tabs and slots, or glueing. They may also be printed, varnished, laminated or decorated according to customer requirements for personalized designs and needs.
Paperboard cartons are used to package products in luxury or branded formats like chocolate confectionery, preserves, and spirits; additionally they can serve as transport/display outer boxes such as complete series DVD box sets. Their surface designs are then printed directly on large sheets or reels of paperboard which is cut and folded to produce flat carton blanks ready for assembly. Paperboard cartons are then often cut down further for construction into flat carton blanks ready for construction. Paperboard cartons can also be used as outer transport for larger items such as complete series DVD box sets which have large outer sizes to help protect their content; such as chocolate confectionary.
Shrink-Wrap
Shrink wrap is a polymer plastic material that tightly encases any object upon heating, such as electrical wires, hardware pieces or even entire buildings and cars. Shrink wraps have also become increasingly popular as food preservation methods to avoid spoilage while creating tamper-evidence for food items.
Flat, centerfold, and pre-formed bags can all be purchased. Each is often equipped with L seals and perforations to allow air to escape during shrinking; this prevents ballooning of the film and ensures all edges can be sealed properly.
Shrink film packaging is widely used for products like compact discs, DVDs, video tapes and books. Its flexible material allows it to be customized by printing words, pictures or colors onto it for enhanced aesthetics and company logos. Furthermore, this type of packaging helps protect products during shipment or storage.
Tertiary Packaging
If you want to purchase 12 soda cans at once, a grocery store is likely where you will purchase them – this type of packaging, known as secondary packaging, contains multiple items in a case or Stock-Keeping Unit (SKU). Cardboard boxes with sealed edges or wooden crates may be examples of secondary packaging.
Tertiary packaging is an important method used to protect products during storage, shipping and transportation as well as prevent theft or tampering from taking place. Tertiary packages can be created from various materials such as plastics and cardboard for maximum effectiveness.
