The company's products include non-contact smart cards, magnetic strip cards and transit hardware including gates and ticket machines. The packaging system used at the customer prior to Nefab’s involvement consisted of ¾” plywood, surrounded by a frame of nailed 2x4’s, which simply took too long to assemble and was not cost effective due to high freight costs.
The Nefab solution offered was an ExPak S plywood box, with inner packaging
to protect the product. A pallet was enhanced with foam cushioning for shock absorption during shipment. VCI bags
were used to replace plain poly bags as well as desiccants
to better protect against the possibility of condensation during transport. Honeycomb
was then added as side-wall support to prevent any side shifting and/or scratching of machinery.
