CUSHION PACKAGING
CUSHION PACKAGING - EFFICIENT TRANSPORT WITH SPECIAL PROTECTION
Particularly sensitive, but also heavy and sharp-edged products are transported safely from A to B in high-quality cushion packaging. The precisely fitting protective packaging solution consists of a special foam and reliably absorbs shocks and vibrations during transport. Wetropa cushioning packaging is not only extremely protective and resistant, but also saves transport costs thanks to its low weight. What’s more, the high-quality packaging is particularly sustainable; after all, it is designed as a reusable product and can be made from foam material that already contains a proportion of recyclates.
ADVANTAGES OF CUSHION PACKAGING:
Customized to your product to be protected
Minimal use of foam through optimized processes already during development
dimensionally stable protection against shock and vibration
Use of 100% recyclable foam possible
SECURE AND A PERFECT FIT - CUSHION PACKAGING FROM WETROPA
When a classic packaging solution with filling material is no longer sufficient for safety reasons, a constructive cushioning packaging made of foam is used. Its shape is precisely adapted to the product to be transported, thus fixing it securely and effectively protecting it from all kinds of damage. Not only shocks and jolts, but also vibrations are withstood by a dimensionally stable cushioning packaging from Wetropa. Whether precise measuring instruments, control units, EDP hardware or medical technology – highly sensitive devices can be reliably transported in the innovative packaging solutions. There are virtually no limits to the size and shape of the packaging.
INDIVIDUAL PACKAGING SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR TRANSPORTED GOODS
Exactly what the optimal cushioning package for your product looks like depends on a variety of factors. These start with product properties such as weight and the G-value reflecting sensitivity. The potential drop height, the degree of deformation, and the material properties of the various foam types also play a key role in packaging development. The most popular variant of cushion packaging consists of padded equipment packaging with protective inner packaging made of non-crosslinked foam, which is enclosed in a cardboard box. Another advantage of cushioning packaging from Wetropa is the flexible purchase quantity. Thus, we develop and produce both small series and large runs of cushion packaging without prescribed batch sizes.
MAXIMUM SAFETY WITH MINIMUM USE OF MATERIALS
Constructive cushion packaging is already subjected to special calculations in advance, which minimize material consumption, volume and thus also the weight of the cushion packaging. By saving space and weight, it is possible to keep the costs of storage as well as transport as low as possible without compromising the protective properties of the cushion packaging. The foams used by Wetropa, some of which have been developed in collaboration with manufacturers, are particularly resistant despite their efficient weight and can optimally protect even sharp-edged and heavy items.
REUSE, REDUCE, RECYCLE - THINKING SUSTAINABLY ABOUT CUSHION PACKAGING
Following the principles of the 3 Rs Reuse, Reduce and Recycle, Wetropa’s cushioning packaging is also convincing in terms of sustainability. While the foam pads can be reused several times for the same products, resources are effectively conserved by saving material. Last but not least, our protective cushioning packaging is also available as a version made of fully recyclable material. As part of our ReFOAM product range, foam waste and packaging returns are regranulated and reintroduced into the foam production process. In this way, we make an effective contribution to sustainability without compromising the quality of our packaging.
