Plastic materials are extremely varied and versatile, and among packaging materials the most varied are used, exploiting their particular properties and characteristics to achieve the goal of ensuring the safety and protection of shipments:
Plastic adhesive tapes are made of a strong, safe material, allow customisation and ensure a perfect closure of boxes for shipping of light or medium weight.
Stretch films, both the automatic and the manual ones , ensure the stability and protection of goods loaded on pallets, contributing to an efficient organisation of pallet shipments.
Bubble wrap, or air bubble film, is a material made of two sheets of transparent plastic between which small, regularly sized air bubbles are trapped. Available both as rolls to be cut and as bags for small items, it is one of the most effective protection systems for fragile or delicate goods, because the air bubbles absorb the impacts suffered during transport.
Padding and fillers serve to fill the empty spaces between the various goods contained in a shipping box, to keep them still and at the same time help absorb impacts and protect them. It is essential that they be extremely light, so as not to increase the weight – and therefore the cost – of the shipment excessively. Among the most requested padding, we have:
-
-
- Polystyrene chips, light and easy to pour into boxes to fill empty spaces
- Foam sheets, designed to fill empty spaces and above all to cushion impacts.
