Packaging for Technical Components & Plastics
The manufacturing of technical components, specialized moldings, and delicate plastics demands packaging that focuses on protection, precision, and integration with your assembly processes. Damage prevention is critical, but so is efficient handling on the production floor.
We engineer protective systems that eliminate damage from shock, vibration, and static discharge while optimizing the flow of parts directly into your manufacturing and fulfillment lines.
Precision Protection for Sensitive Parts
Technical and plastic components often feature tight tolerances, delicate surfaces, or embedded electronics that are vulnerable to external stresses. Our solutions address the four key threats to component integrity:
Cushioning and Vibration Dampening
We design custom corrugated fitments and foam inserts that lock components in place, absorbing impact and neutralizing vibration during transit. This prevents micro-fractures, scuffing, and warping, ensuring the part is factory-perfect upon arrival.
Anti-Static (ESD) Solutions
For sensitive electronics and components susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD), we provide specialized materials:
-
Anti-Static Coatings: Corrugated boards treated with protective anti-static agents.
-
Conductive & Dissipative Materials: Custom foam and plastic solutions to safely manage and dissipate static charge, preventing component failure.
Optimised for the Supply Chain
Packaging for technical components must do more than just protect; it needs to facilitate quick and accurate handling in high-speed, automated environments.
Part Presentation and Kitting
We design packaging that acts as a storage and presentation tray. Inserts and trays can be customized to orientation-specific holding, allowing operators to pick parts directly from the shipping container and place them immediately into an assembly without reorienting or unpacking.
-
Visual Indexing: Packaging features designed for easy identification of parts, reducing picking errors.
-
Multi-Component Kitting: Creating a single, consolidated package for all parts required for a specific sub-assembly (e.g., a pump housing, sensor array, or automotive cluster), streamlining inventory and simplifying line-side supply.
Specialty Packaging Formats
Our sector-specific solutions range from simple protective wraps to complex, reusable transport systems.
| Solution Format | Application | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Custom Corrugated Fitments | Die-cut, multi-layer corrugated inserts or pads for parts with irregular shapes (e.g., sensor housings, plastic manifolds). | Provides non-abrasive, precise fitment protection at a lower cost than engineered plastic trays. |
| ESD-Safe Die-Cut Inserts | Separating and protecting sensitive electronic circuit boards or fragile internal components. | Dissipates static charge (ESD), preventing catastrophic electrical damage to high-value electronics |
| Coated Solid Board Layer Pads | Stacking and separating components within larger bulk containers or totes. | Provides a clean, smooth, non-abrasive barrier that prevents scuffing, static, and contamination between layers. |
Optimise Your Industrial & Protective Packaging: Durability & Efficiency
Getting the right industrial packaging goes beyond basic dimensions—it’s about ensuring the safe containment of varied, often heavy or delicate, components, maximizing logistics efficiency, and delivering a robust, confident experience throughout the supply chain, whether it's specialized machinery parts, vulnerable electronics, or bulk protective gear.
We are experts in combining high-level Structural Engineering with technical precision, helping you optimize for:
-
Product Protection & Integrity: Eliminate common errors that compromise product safety or risk damage like crushing, puncture, moisture ingress, or component shifting during transit. We ensure the exact certified board grade, heavy-duty cushioning, robust internal supports, and weather-resistant finishes are used to secure diverse equipment, from fragile assemblies to high-mass items.
-
Logistics Efficiency & Handling: Design packaging to minimize freight costs by optimizing pallet configurations and maximizing container utilization. We focus on structures that are easy to pack, stack, and secure, ensuring quick handling and minimizing the risk of damage during automated or manual logistics processes.
-
Sustainability & Compliance: Ensure your materials meet critical sustainability targets (e.g., maximizing recyclable content for large boxes, material lightweighting where appropriate), and comply with all necessary postal/shipping regulations and industrial safety standards while maintaining a functional, clean presentation.
