Packaging Review: Storage

  
  
  
describe the imageThe next step in our Packaging lifecycle is Storage, which pertains to the overall length of time your product will be kept in its packaging.
 

 

5 of 7 Storage

 

For example different products require different means of protection

  • Electronics or Machinery manufacturers protect their products from potential-short-term surface corrosion that can degrade performance or longevity.

  • Part Distributors require long-term-protection since the storage timeline can be unknown due to unpredictable demand.

  • Bio-tech and Perishable products often require short-term temperature-controlled packaging, to avoid damage or spoiling.

A small San Diego Biotech firm ships volatile proteins for DNA testing, domestically and international. These valuable and temperature sensitive proteins were arriving damaged to international destinations, due to a rise in temperature.

Both the domestic and overseas shipments were packaged the same;

  • with expanded polystyreen, or EPS, containers

  • and four 8 oz. coolant gel packs to maintain an ambient temperature for 72 hours
