Barrier Materials in Shipping Crates
Custom Pac’s Approach
In the ever-evolving logistics and shipping industry, the integrity of shipped goods remains a paramount concern. Custom Pac, a leader in providing innovative packaging solutions for over three decades, champions the use of advanced barrier materials in constructing shipping crates. This approach not only guarantees the safety of items during transit but also aligns with international shipping standards and sustainability goals.
The Essentials of Barrier Materials
Barrier materials are pivotal in safeguarding shipped goods against a multitude of environmental threats. These materials range from vapor barriers, foam inserts, to robust plastic wraps, each selected based on the specific needs of the cargo. Custom Pac leverages these materials to create a protective enclave around products, shielding them from moisture, dust, UV radiation, and other harmful elements.
What degree of protection should you use
Custom Pac offers a variety of options to protect your items including VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor), Marine Shrink Wrap, and Full Vacuum sealed Barrier Bagging.
- VCI is a fast, economical choice. It’s the ideal use is for lightweight machinery, being stored inside a climate-controlled building to help prevent corrosion.
- Marine Shrink Wrap is a protective film that is put under heat to shrink and conform to the shape of the item. It is great at shielding heavy industrial machinery from the elements. Items with Marine shrink wrap can be stored outside.
- Full vacuum-sealed vapor barrier bagging is Custom Pac highest level of protection against moisture and corrosion. The barrier material fully encapsulates the item, the proper amount of desiccant is placed within the bag, and then the bag is vacuumed tight and sealed from the outside environment. Barrier bagging is the best choice if your item has sensitive electronic components.
Fortifying Protection Against Environmental Hazards
Custom Pac’s meticulous selection process ensures that every crate is equipped with materials that offer optimal protection. Moisture, for instance, is a persistent threat to cargo integrity, potentially causing corrosion, mold, or warping. By employing vapor barriers and moisture-absorbing desiccants, Custom Pac crates are designed to maintain a dry and stable environment, regardless of external conditions.
