We can fabricate polyethylene foam in standard white
or pink anti-static into end caps, and foam fittings.
These fabricated polyethylene foams are often used to
protect valuable electronic components from side, and
end transit shocks. The polyethylene acts as a cushioning
whilst encapsulating your product in the cardboard box.
Often a heavy duty corrugated cardboard box is used
as the outer packaging.
For static protection of sensitive electronic equipment
we can use the pink anti static polyethylene foam, the
anti-static polyethylene foam can be routed to form
shapes and groves so as to hold in place electronic
parts and circuit boards, we can also supply shielding
bags to further protect your printed circuit boards.
We can fabricate polyethylene foams in a corrugated
cardboard box and incorporate foam fittings by gluing
them in place so you can just pack your electronic product
inside the cardboard box. Other foams such as chip foam
can be used inside the corrugated cardboard box this
packaging foam is much cheaper than polyethylene foams,
but can not be shaped or used as end caps. The packaging
chip foam is often used as holding blocks or in conjunction
with timber packaging pieces.
Another foam we use inside cardboard corrugated boxes
or cartons is called profile packaging foam. This packaging
foam has what is called peaks and lows sculptured in
it, and it is mostly used in die cut corrugated cardboard
boxes for holding small electronic components inside.
These boxes can be made normal white or brown finish,
but also made in black conductive corrugated cardboard.
Often electronic customers us a shielding bag together
with the box. The profile foam can be supplied as pink
anti-static foam, the size of the peaks and lows of
the packaging foam depends on the thickness and weight
of your product you need to be packed.A lot of electronic
mail order companies use this type of packaging to send
out electronic sensitive products, so this makes it
a ideal packaging mail order box.
Instant foam or foam in place is a product which forms
a mould with very low tooling charges. Basically 2 chemicals
are mixed together and squirted into a cardboard or
timber mould to form what is known as a pre mould. These
moulds offer excellent cushioning packaging protection
for small volume packaging applications, with-out the
on cost of tooling which for polystyrene can costs thousands
of pounds, for the packaging foam in place the tool
cost is usually around the £150.00 mark, most
common packaging application for this type of packaging
mould is electronic equipment, computer monitors, glass
objects, prototypes, catering equipment, tooling, etc.
The instapack foam can be supplied in pink anti-static
as well as the normal white or blue polythene which
2 layers holds the foam together around the pre mould
whilst being formed for the packaging mould.
Polystyrene packaging pieces supplied in polystyrene
sheets or polystyrene blocks are a very cost effective
method of protective packaging. Polystyrene is used
as a packaging filler or to hold such items as dash
boards for automotive vehicles, or to stop glass panels
from coming in contact with each other. Polystyrene
is also used as a mould to give protection to televisions,
washing machines. The polystyrene is made as end caps
or top and base caps. These polystyrene moulds are made
from aluminium moulds which can cost thousands of pounds
to make, but for volume users of this type of polystyrene
packaging, this cost is out weighed by the very low
unit prices of the polystyrene protective packaging
mould.
Polystyrene chips are widely used as a void filler
inside a corrugated cardboard box or carton. The polystyrene
chips or beads fill up any voids inside the corrugated
cardboard box, and your product to be packaged and protected
sits inside usually in the middle of the box. The polystyrene
chips are ideal for irregular sizes of product which
can be difficult to find a bespoke packaging solution
for.
Bubble wrap is another widely used protective packaging
product. Bubble wrap can be supplied in 3 sizes of bubble
wrap. Small bubble wrap used a lot in the food industry,
for example the packaging of fruits such as strawberries,
medium bubble wrap the most widely used bubble wrap,
and large bubble wrap mostly used for very large and
heavy goods which need to be bubble wrapped to give
good cushioning. The bubble wrap can be supplied in
many widths the maximum width bubble wrap is made in
is 1500mm, and the usual minimum width of bubble wrap
is 150mm, you can then usually choose any width of bubble
wrap you want as long as it is a multiple of 150mm,
for instance 300mm,450mm,600mm,750 mm, width bubble
wrap etc. The usual length for small and medium bubble
wrap is 100metres length of bubble wrap, although you
can also get 50 and 75 metre lengths of bubble wrap,
it is always best to ask the length of bubble wrap when
comparing prices. The large bubble wrap is usually supplied
in 75 metre or 50 metres length bubble rolls because
of the increased size of the actual bubble. Bubble wrap
can also be supplied in pink anti static for the protection
of sensitive electronic components. Bubble wrap bags
and envelopes can be purchased in all standard envelope
sizes. Often a very small component is paced in a bubble
bag and then in turn this bag is placed in a corrugated
cardboard mailer for further packaging transit protection
Cell air foam is foam supplied on the roll. This packaging
foam is manufactured from polyethylene and is supplied
in various thickness for example 0.5 mm, 1.00mm, 1.25
mm ect. This foam on a roll has a small profile in it,
and is very suited to the automotive industry, and the
packaging protection of outer surface finishes such
as screens, table tops. This foam roll can be supplied
as anti-static, and can manufactured in all the same
sizes as the bubble wrap as detailed above.
