By blocking, bracing and cushioning the products, the inner packaging together with the outer packaging is protecting the product from transport and storage damages. The inner packaging surrounds the product and can also be designed to protect against abrasion, corrosion or electro static discharge (ESD). Nefab has the experience to develop the right inner packaging among the large amount of materials to choose between. Here follows a selection of inner packaging materials.

Nefab divides inner packaging products into five categories: 

 

Products include; Honeycomb, Air Pad, Bubble Wrap, Loose Fill, and Paper Pad. 

The goal with blocking materials is to immobilize the product and assure the right protection. The goal with void filling materials is to totally fill the empty spaces around the packed product. Nefab offers a wide range of materials suitable for blocking and filling applications.

 

Products include AirPak, Foam, and Foam Profiles. 

To protect against shock and vibration, you have several opportunities. But to decrease the opportunities there are some questions to make. How fragile is the product? What is the value of the product? How will the product be freight? What is the estimate volume of the product? This is some question to make before you choose the proper packaging material.

 

Electro Static Discharge, is a standalone product highly used in the electronics industry. 

 

Within industry, ESD (Electro Static Discharge) is discreet and invisible and causes problems of a different nature. Many electrical components, including computer chips, electronic assemblies and circuit boards, can be damaged beyond repair by electrical discharges. Manufacturers of electronic components and assemblers of electronic systems must control static discharges in their processes through the use of an effective ESD program. If they fail to take the necessary measures to control static electricity many of the components or systems they produce will fail to work or will suffer a reduced operating life.

 

Products include, VCI Bags, Desiccants, Paper, PE-foam, Emitter Cups, and corrugated. 

 

Corrosion is a natural process. When products are fabricated out of iron, or other metals, it is natural for them to return to their original state. The metal begins to release its stored up energy by reacting with oxygen. This process is called corrosion.

 

Can be made of materials such as foam, corrugated cardboard, steel, plastic, rubber, wood or plywood. 

Inner Fittings are mainly used as separators or shelves. They are also used to ease the packing process or to optimize space within the box or container.
