Plastic Corrugated

Plastic corrugated is a versatile and cost-effective material used in many packaging and retail applications. Pack4’s innovative plastic corrugated solutions are designed and manufactured to protect a wide range of products from damage during shipping and storage from climatic, electrostatic, magnetic, contamination or mechanical issues.

Plastic corrugated materials have numerous applications and sizes but generally take the form of boxes or tubes which provide sealing, insulation, cushioning, bracing, support, blocking and stackable storage options. They are particularly useful in preventing damage or destruction of fragile items and equipment.

An effective plastic packaging product relies on the design of the container used. The essential qualities of any protective packaging container are that it must be crushproof, easy to assemble, lightweight and either recyclable or reusable.

Design of plastic corrugated containers takes into account crush resistance, burst strength, bending strength, impact resistance, shock absorption, component mass and tear resistance. The materials used in manufacturing these containers must meet design and customer specifications, and it’s critical that the design allows for stackability and conforms to volumetric requirements.

The Structure of Plastic Corrugated

The basic structure of plastic corrugated is a layer of fluted material sandwiched between two flat layers of plastic to create a board. Stronger boards may require multiple layers of flat and corrugated materials. Layers may be colored to meet customer requirements, while outside surfaces may be decorated and printed or coated in various protective materials.

At Pack4, we manufacture both standard and non-standard corrugated packaging, using paper or more customized products and incorporating a variety of preformed plastic corrugated materials.

Recent trends in the retail industry have seen increased demand for customized plastic corrugated containers that are displayed in store to improve efficiency and decrease handling costs, while still having aesthetic appeal.

CUSTOM PLASTIC TRAYS

Custom plastic trays are durable, rigid and economical. For use in inventory control, shipping or production control, plastic trays are a good alternative to corrugated, metal or vinyl trays.


RETURNABLE PACKAGING SYSTEMS

Multi-site retailers and manufacturers often use returnable packaging systems. These systems allow for less waste and more efficiency in moving products between distribution centers, retail stores and manufacturing plants. Pack4 can design the packaging and also help implement the system for moving your product.


IN-STORE DISPLAYS

Our team often makes in-store displays using corrugated or plastic corrugated. We can design, print, manufacture and assemble your display, no matter how complex or how many colors. We can then handle the logistics and ship your display nationwide.
