Foam Dunnage Corrugated Fiberboard Molded Plastics
Corrugated Plastic Sewn Bags Vacuum Formed Trays
Foam Dunnage
"oam dunnage provides e#cellent cushioning capabilities and is perfect for your $%lass
A$ products and parts that require scratch resistant and shock protection. In addition, its
high energy absorption properties allow it to withstand harsh static and dynamic force.
&ith its e#cellent energy and protective capabilities, the use of foam packaging inserts
can provide significant savings on the high cost of e#pensive parts being damaged during
material handling and transit.
'ur molded foam is light-weight, and can be custom molded to protect fragile or
intricately shaped parts. (ach dunnage design can be customized around the e#act shape
of the individual part. &e can design efficient, cost-effective foam dunnage to protect
your valuable products and parts during storage and transportation.
Corrugated Fiberboard Dunnage
%orrugated fiberboard is a paper-based material consisting of a fluted corrugated sheet
and one or two flat linerboards which makes their structure strong and fle#ible. )ouble
and triple-wall corrugated board can also be used for high stacking strength and puncture
resistance.
'ur corrugated systems are ideal for supporting your lean manufacturing initiatives.
%ontainers can be fabricated as a flat one-piece assembly, reducing your space, part
numbers and storage costs. &hen you are ready to ship your parts or products, the kitted
assembly is easily converted into your custom corrugated shipping container.
Molded Plastic Dunnage
*he strength, versatility and handling advantages of molded plastic dunnage makes them
ideal for safe shipment, storage and handling of delicate and comple# parts. +olded
plastics can be designed to fit the e#act contour of the panel or part, thus providing
ma#imum protection. ,est of all, it!s a very cost-efficient alternative for product
protection and material handling.
*he key advantage with molded plastics is the dunnage design can be customized to fit
your product e#actly so that it won!t shift during transport. -sing the most advanced
%A) systems, our engineers can make a precise contoured cavity of your specific
product.s/ designed to ma#imize the efficiency of your containers while offering superior
protection. packIQ!s molded plastic dunnage is lightweight, nestable, collapsible, and
recyclable. In addition, our molded plastic dunnage is reusable, thereby reducing
packaging cost.
Corrugated Plastic
%orrugated plastic can serve as a mid-point solution between cardboard and wood in your
packaging systems, and is an integral part of reusable packaging. %orrugated plastic is a
reusable packaging option that can outperform and outlast traditional cardboard
packaging. Additionally, corrugated plastic packaging is more cost effective on a cost-
per-trip basis and is 0112 recyclable. %ost-per-trip studies show that manufacturers can
save up to 312 in normal costs related to packaging when converting from cardboard to
reusable corrugated plastic.
%orrugated plastic is easy to score, crease, stitch, nail, staple, fold and drill. %orrugated
plastic dunnage inserts and containers can be designed to accommodate a range of
packaging solutions where wood or cardboard can be used. *his means if you are
converting from cardboard to plastic, you don!t have to change your process to
accommodate a new packaging material design.
Sewn Bags for Dunnage
4anging ,ag 5ack - 6ewn ,ags "or )unnagepackIQ!s sewn bags are fle#ible, durable
and versatile which makes them ideal for the storing, shipping or packaging of class $A$
surface parts and products from a variety of industries. 'ur sewn bags can be installed
into bulk containers, wooden crates, material handling totes, and custom metal racks.
'ne of the biggest advantages of sewn fabric bags is the fle#ibility to design them to
integrate in a variety of configurations. *heir thin, lightweight material also saves space
and reduces packaging costs. 'ur sewn bags are also reusable and returnable which
makes them an economical and reliable means for packaging and protecting your
products.
Vacuum Formed Trays
packIQ offers a wide range of custom vacuum formed trays that can be used to hold,
organize, protect and transport a variety of products. 'ur vacuum formed dunnage trays
offer a cost-effective solution to store or transport products and components safely and
damage free.
'ur material handling trays offer numerous options for protecting your products. +ade
from a number of materials, such as 78%, polystyrene, 7(*9, as well as various anti-stat
and conductive materials, our vacuum formed dunnage trays are available in different
sizes, colors and thicknesses and can be customized for many applications such as
protective packaging or material handling.
'ur vacuum formed trays are available in disposable and re-usable versions. *hey are
used in a number of our customer applications and are ideal for transporting and
protecting items such as electronics, industrial and consumer products. *rays can be
shaped to fit a particular product with features like indentations and stacking or de-
nesting for easy stacking and removal from tight shipping bo#es. 'ur dunnage trays are
also lightweight, adding negligible weight to your shipment.
)unnage is a critical component in material handling applications where part protection
and:or storage efficiencies are required whether you!re handling automotive parts, aircraft
components, or electronic parts. )unnage protects valuable parts from moisture damage,
static, shock, vibrations, and contamination from other debris during transport, assembly
and storage and is also suited for use in automated production systems.
&hether you require shock or vibration protection, part separation or specific orientation
for class ;A< parts or electrostatic discharge protection, our engineers will translate your
=ob specifications into products that precisely match your material handling needs. 'ur
e#pertise with foam, vacuum formed trays, corrugated fiberboard, sewn bags, and molded
fiberboard can help you specify and deliver the right packaging for your parts, whether
you need a single prototype or production quantities.
packIQ offers a variety of dunnage and material handling products for storing and
transporting products safely. &e will work with you to design and produce innovative
packaging solutions that provide part protection while minimizing waste.
