A Quick Look at Today’s Most Efficient Packaging Supplies

In its primary sense, modern-age packaging is the technique of boxing or securing items and materials to sell, store, use, and/or ship. But more than just a way to store necessities, powerful and efficient packaging can also have a tremendous influence on the modern public’s recognition of and desire for certain branded products in a variety of categories.

For companies that want to enjoy lots of quality exposure at very cost-efficient prices, there are a number of packaging types and supplies that can be personalised with visually arresting company logos and images to increase product awareness. Listed below are some of today’s most popular packaging products and a little bit about how they work.

Pay-Off Pack Drums

A very handy type of specialised packaging for modern cables and wire packaging is a pay-off pack drum. The innovative design of this drum makes packaging and unwinding cables or wires much easier, while preserving their quality. The drum comes with a rotating core in the centre that enables constant cable feeding with a plywood reel, which gets rid of any unneeded force or stiffness in the tubes or wires.

It is commonly used to package plastic-covered electrical cables, textiles, ropes, hoses, coaxial lines, bronze and copper welding wires, and tubes with small diametres. It also conveniently stores labelling and silkscreen print materials, with a specially designed top and base that enables easy stacking.

Cable Reels

Commonly used in pack drums, plywood cable reels are ideal for winding similar materials like electrical cables, hoses, and wires. Because they’re made of plywood, these cable reels provide a higher degree of design versatility and are cheaper to produce than steel cable reels.

EdgeBoards

EdgeBoards provide protection for the delicate corners and borders of high-quality paper goods or other fragile products while they’re being stored or shipped. They come in many different sizes to match each customer’s particular needs. Some of the numerous rewards of using EdgeBoards include better packaging efficiency, lowered risk of goods being damaged by water and other elements, and the combination of high durability and easy disposability they provide.

Cardboard Tubes

Highly cost-effective cardboard tubes can be customised to satisfy a client’s unique label or printing or needs, and to boost their logo.

The vast selection of available spiral-bound cardboard tubes and cores come in both regular organic finishes and customisable designs, with special add-ons like printed brand names or designs on outer wrappings, end caps, and liners. They’re usually loaded in pre-cut boxes, pallets, bundles, or reusable metal trays.

Cardboard tubes are perfectly suited for winding various items like product labels, bendable wrappers, textiles, and carpet. A number of core thicknesses are available for different tasks, and smash tests are regularly performed to make sure the tubes can withstand the necessary pressures and forces they will be subjected to. They’re also available in a variety of lengths, strengths, and diametres in order to match up with many diverse tasks.

Vermiculite

Vermiculite is an invaluable packing material that’s frequently used in modern packaging. It’s an extremely light, porous, chemically stable, and non-combustible substance that can be readily poured over odd-shaped items for buffering purposes. Helping to protect against bumps from rough handling, vermiculite works similar to car bumpers in that it absorbs impacts by bending in a little, while still maintaining enough particle strength for outside protection.

Vermiculite is able to hold on to fluids trapped inside of the pores of each individual particle and the space around it. To further complement these qualities, vermiculite such as that offered by Industrial Packaging makes for a very clean and simple to dispose of package buffering solution.
