How to Protect Your Items with Practical Industrial Packaging

Posted by Perennial Packaging on December 17th, 2019

Every business, whether large or small, all share the same concerns and issues of protecting their products during transport and shipping. The product may be secure, but many situations during transit can cause damage to a product before it hits the shelves or its destination. To ensure your product is always protected, Perennial Packaging offers a range of high-quality industrial packaging products in Melbourne, Brisbane and throughout Australia.

What threatens your packaging during transit?

There are many issues that Perennial Packaging take into consideration when designing their strong and durable industrial steel packaging. Here are some of the main factors that can threaten the packaging during transportation, passing through depots or when in storage.

Loading:

Truck drivers work on a tight schedule and need to load their trucks quickly. This means the shape and size of your industrial packaging account for how well it is loaded into the truck. Packaging with unusual shapes is more likely to move around in the truck or even be loaded incorrectly.

Weather:

Something that no one can control is the weather. Threats such as high temperatures create humidity which can damage the contents inside the packaging such as coffee beans or baby formula. This is particularly important when you consider Australia’s harsh and long summer months. Exposure to heat, humidity, and condensation can affect the freshness and shelf life of your product. Furthermore, the packaging can cause undesirable reactions or contamination to products that are primarily chemical, food or powder based.

Accidents:

Whether it’s machinery or human error, accidents happen. Heavier or sensitive packages are most at risk of being mishandled when being sorted, stacked, loaded and unloaded.

Contents:

Sometimes it’s the contents of the product itself which can cause damage. Flammable or dangerous liquids such as paints or adhesives can leak and cause damage to all the other items stored with it.

Prevention is the best cure

When it comes to safe and secure industrial packaging, Perennial Packaging offer tinplate steel packaging that is UN Dangerous Goods approved for packaging groups II and III, as well as certified by Australian WorkCover. They provide a range of superior and cost-effective metal packaging including easy-open food cans, open head pails, micro drums, closed head drums and more, that are purposely designed to withstand Australian environmental factors. With an ISO 9001 certification for their metal packaging and only using 100% recyclable steel, their steel packaging has a never-ending lifecycle.

To ensure your product is protected and secure right up until it reaches your customer, Perennial Packaging has steel open head pails along with the option for a heavier grade of tinplate gauge of up to a thickness of 0.45mm. Their closed head drums ensure hazardous liquids like thinners and solvents don’t leak through the packaging by providing an airtight seal once securely closed.

Being the first supplier to offer 2L, 4L and 5L sizes of micro pails on the market, Perennial Packaging has a vast range of standard sizes to choose from and can also design custom sizes for their steel packaging according to your specific dimension requests. If needed, you also have a range of fittings and closures such as side metal flanges, child-resistant closures, reseal lids, metal screw caps and much more.
