PACKAGING MATERIALS AND SYSTEMS
Corrugated fibreboard boxes
good stacking strength (when dry), easy availability and inexpensive cost.
corrugated board has a very high recycling rate.
easy to recycle
Used boxes are generally discarded in large, homogenous piles by factories, warehouses and retail stores – businesses that have an incentive to reduce their disposal cost by recycling
Can design the box with minimal head space, allowing the inside products to help support the load.
There are 3 options:
direct printing, pre-printed liners and litho lamination.
Shrink bundles
A shrink bundle is certainly less objectively protective.
The advantages of a shrink bundle, over the comparable corrugated fibreboard shipping container, are that it uses less material and is less expensive.
Shrink bundle shipping containers for products that do not require the compression strength of corrugated fibreboard
Reusable totes
Cost of disposal grows and with added incentives for waste reduction, the use of multi-trip packaging is preferred.
Most of the growing reusable-packaging applications have one thing in common: a short, well-managed supply chain with steady predictable demand
Deciding to invest in a reusable packaging system is a very different task from purchasing expendable containers
Unitisation
Unitisation is essentially grouped or bundled cargo, wrapped into packages and loaded onto or inside a bigger unit
Materials used for unitisation vary, but they usually include a pallet or other platform.
The choice of wood species has a great impact on cost and durability.
The denser and stiffer the wood, the greater its durability and cost
