Protective Packaging; Protect Goods from Loss, Damage, & Theft during Transportation
Protective packaging supplies are materials built to protect
and buffer a product from potential harm or destruction during transportation
or warehousing. This type of packaging is used to protect various products from
loss, damage, or theft during transportation. Protective packaging helps
products withstand various static and dynamic charges at all stages of the
supply chain. It is primarily used for the transportation of hazardous
materials, as these materials need to go through a special process during
shipping. In addition to that, protective packaging materials come with various
labeling options and are used according to various purposes.
Protective
packaging can also work as primary packaging or secondary packaging,
based upon the kind of products to be protected. The packaging essentially
involves protecting the contents from the environment and vice versa. Packaging
is also used for convenience and information transmission. Packages and labels
communicate how to use, transport, recycle, or dispose of the package or
product. Protective packaging include a number of specific types of products.
This includes bubble packaging, protective mailers, paper fill, air pillows,
and dunnage bags.
A protective covering can be added to the surface of a
container to make it more air-tight and thereby prevent leakage. Moreover,
bubble wrap sheets contain rows of inflated air bubbles used to cushion and
cover fragile products and materials. Protective packaging also helps in
focusing on the extended shelf life of the products and providing quality
products to the customers. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for this
type of packaging solution in various end-use industries, such as electronics,
foods, and pharmaceuticals.
From recycled PET bottles to paper packaging, more Japanese
firms are now exploring or have launched eco-friendly food and beverage
packaging to reduce the reliance on plastic, as Japan’s environment ministry
has instead created a strategy to reduce disposable plastic waste by 25% by
2030, and is introducing measures to help reach this goal.
