Protective packaging: types and applications

Protective packaging


A set of measures for the delivery of goods requires the adoption of special measures to maintain the quality of products, ensuring ease of movement and transportation. The tasks set are successfully solved by special protective packaging: paper, polymers, film, quick-hardening foam and other means. Each type has features: different protective properties, purpose, and cost.

Paper packaging

This is a great alternative to plastic products. The most demanded are paper bags and sandwich bags, which provide protection for products and great opportunities in the marketing field. It is easy to apply information about the product, emphasize the company's corporate identity, and increase brand awareness. It is applied in confectionery enterprises, culinary departments, and food combines. Used for packaging: sugar, cereals, pastries, cocoa, and other dry products.

Air cushions

The protective coating is available in a wide range. It differs by the type of film used and the number of air chambers - 2, 4, 16. Average roll length: 375 - 563 cm, width - 400 cm, length - 85 cm. Made of polymeric materials. Cushions with air inside are an economical option for filling empty spaces. The main purpose is to block and prevent the movement of products inside the container. Fixing allows you to reduce the risk of damage while transporting household appliances, electronics, automotive products, and other products. Lightweight is the main advantage, due to which it is possible to reduce the delivery cost.

Foamed polymers

The packing profile is plastic and has high heat-insulating properties. Foamed polyethylene is made from synthetic resins and is represented by several types. The physical structure of the cells has differences that allow us to classify protective packaging into 3 main groups: honeycomb plastics, foam plastics, and foam plastics. Additionally, there are crosslinked, non-crosslinked, thermosetting, and thermoplastic. The protective profile made of foamed polyethylene has a wide range of applications (from transporting small valuable art products to transporting large pieces of furniture).

Air bubble film

Made from polyethylene. Properties: flexible, transparent, light. The surface has a uniform coating with small protrusions filled with air bubbles. Available in various colors and sizes. Often used as protective packaging for fragile items. This is a guaranteed prevention of mechanical damage that may occur during transportation. Additional advantages: excellent shock-absorbing, heat-insulating characteristics. It is applied to packaging details, porcelain ware, and optics.

Bulk packaging

Made from expanded polystyrene. It may have the form of profile figures or symbols. This is a cheap protective packaging that is used to fill the space of the container to fix items and prevent damage. It is a fast and reliable packaging method that maximizes space filling by optimally sizing and shaping styrofoam.

Packing in quick-setting foam

Presented in the form of bags with reagents. Principle of operation: the bag is placed on the bottom of the container, and the product is placed on top. After the shell's integrity is broken, the components are mixed, and the foam expands and fills the space. Then the same bag is placed on top, which in the same way takes the desired shape and securely fixes the products. Minsk companies supply a wide range of packaging materials. Thanks to a large selection, it is easy to find the best option on the budget and purpose of the application.

Extraction of wisdom teeth: what you need to know

For many teens and young adults, removing their wisdom teeth is a big decision. Maybe your dentist told you it needs to be done, or your parents and other family members had theirs extracted. What should you expect? Extracting wisdom teeth isn't as daunting as it may seem, and the procedure and recovery can go smoothly when you are well-informed. What are wisdom teeth? Wisdom teeth are third molars. Typically, these molars appear in early adulthood if not extracted before then. These molars are found at the back of your mouth, on both the upper and lower jaw. You don't need those extra teeth because you can chew and process food properly without them. If they grow and arrive healthy, they can help improve chewing. They often appear between the ages of 17 and 21, but it is best to have them removed before then for some people. When should wisdom teeth be removed? The extraction of wisdom teeth is beneficial in many situations. Very often, this is done during your late te

How we have changed due to COVID-19 Our daily life has changed in a new direction due to COVID-19. The most typical example is a change in the way we work. Working from home has become more natural without commuting, and non-face-to-face meetings have also increased. What has also changed is our consumption patterns. As people refrained from going out due to social distancing, eating out naturally decreased, and the demand for food delivery and takeout increased.
