Industrial Packaging Information
Nefab, the leader among global industrial
packaging companies offering complete packaging solutions, has developed an
Industrial Packaging Information section to tackle many questions they have heard from customers and the industry as a whole. This section is updated regularly and articles are written from either industry contributors (mentioned below the article) or by a Nefab packaging expert.
Typical custom packaging articles for this section fall under 6 categories.
Application Packaging : Having been in existence since the late 1920's, Nefab has during that time designed and manufactured several
transport packaging applications and packaging solutions (as you can imagine). Mentioned in this section are a variety of complete packaging solutions currently being used in the industry today.
Packaging Materials : Each manufacturer packaging product offers its own unique characteristics. In this category we will explain what ESD – electro static discharge is and why you should consider protection. The advantages for companies choosing collapsible packaging vs. non-foldable solutions. Different testing needed and certification for hazardous materials packaging. Why returnable packaging may be best suited for certain companies and/or flows, and much more!
Transportation & Material Handling : All custom packaging engineers will tell you, the material used depends on the method of shipment and means of handling. In certain situations securing the load in the truck or container becomes an enormous cost reduction. In this category we discuss load securing, Incoterms, the advantages and disadvantages of the different modes of transport, vibrations in transport, and much more on custom packaging!
Green Packaging : Being a green company is more than just words. It starts from the ground up and from upper management down. In this section we will talk about how you as a company can make steps to become green. What is an Economical Packaging Solution? Plus, information regarding different regulations that go along with packaging to give you an overall better understanding.
Packaging Design Consultants : The niche of Nefab’s packaging company in the packaging market goes beyond just being Global. With in-house packaging design, Nefab sets itself above and beyond its competitors. In this Packaging Design section articles will vary from; Packaging Design Checklist, Packaging Material Testing, Product Damages and how to avoid them, Product Fragility and G-Factor ... more to come!
Additional Information : Anything that doesn’t fit in the above manufacturer packaging categories can be found here. For instance a very fruitful glossary of packaging terms used industry wide, a handy links section which links to Packaging associations worldwide and information on how to become a packaging supplier.
