Sustainable Packaging. Corrugated and chipboard partitions replace molded plastic partitions, creating a more sustainable profile. In addition, the switch to paper eliminates the often substantial cost of molds.
Reduction in Packaging Materials. In certain packaging designs, partitions can eliminate other packaging products such as void fill, cushioning, and surface protection materials. Since the products being eliminated are often plastic or composites, the sustainable profile of the package is again enhanced.
Inspection. As the importance of quality control continues to grow, the need to quickly and visually inspect products becomes essential. Partitions facilitate rapid visual inspection in assembly operations and also at the customer level. In retail applications, consumers prefer to see the products they’re buying before completing the purchase.
Designing corrugated partitions is an exacting process. Sizes and tolerances must be measured carefully, since the partitions must fit precisely in the shipping box for which they are made. Partitions can be delivered assembled or unassembled, and can also be pre-inserted into the shipping container for operations which have limited labor resources on the packaging line.
To achieve greater cushioning, partitions are often designed with an air cell of 1/4″ to 1/2″ around the perimeter, creating space between the interior walls of the corrugated container and the products packaged within.
Corrugated partitions are used for a wide variety of products, including fragile and semi-fragile parts, beverages, glassware, medical and surgical products, pharmaceuticals. electronic components, plastic molded parts, optical lenses, and hardware.
