A Brief Overview of Our Packaging Options
- 5 feb 2016
When shipping packaging supplies for hazardous goods, is it imperative to understand the potential options. This article has the goal of providing a brief introduction of the best materials when shipping both non-dangerous and dangerous goods shipping.
Air Sea Containers is known as being a one stop shop for all of your shipping needs. Our company offers a wide array of options to ensure your shipping is done both legally and efficiently. From years of experience, we’ve narrowed down a short list of essential products. These packing options can include the use of the following:
Each of these materials solves a niche need in the transportation of product. The main goal, when purchasing a product from our company, is to have delivered the right product for the right situation. For instance, a Gel Pack isn’t necessary when shipping a crate of college textbooks. However, poly bags can ensure the textbook does not open and cause damage to various pages. The following information provides a brief description of our various packing options.
Tape is sold from our company in various options, depending upon your budget and specific goals. These can come in either 2” or 3”; one role, a box of six rolls, 24 rolls, or 36 rolls for securing your shipment. In addition, the majority of the tape offered is heavy duty, which means that the contents of your shipment are better protected against theft and inadvertent opening. Also available are Caution Roll and Check Contents Roll. One of the best products from our company is the Manual Tape Dispenser, which can significantly increase productivity when packaging materials. It is both reliable and highly durable. As the name implies, it dispenses the tape in a efficient manner.
If you’ve ever order a product online, then in most cases you are familiar with Shrink/Bubble Wrap. We sell this product in various sizes, which are 48”, 24”, and 18”. In addition, we recently added 8” x 11.5” plastic bubble bag to our array of shipping products. This product is useful to wrap around products that you intend to ship. The air within the bubbles, when wrapped around product, act as a cushion. This is important because occasionally during the transportation process, the box may land harder on the ground than intended.
Sealed Air Peanuts and Styrofoam Peanuts, such as their name suggest, resemble peanuts. When you pack items in a box, in a majority of cases, there will be space left because not every product when shipped fits the box perfectly. Unfortunately, the extra space provides an opportunity for the product to migrate within the box, creating an opportunity for the product to become damaged. The Sealed Air Peanuts and Styrofoam Peanuts solve this potential problem, adding more stability to the shipment, and filling up the extra space within the shipment box. We offer two options: Sealed Air Peanuts and Styrofoam Peanuts.
While not restricted to produce, chemicals and magazines, when you need to ship items, poly bags can act as a pouch or a method of organization. These bags come in a quantity of 10 and are either 18” x 33” or 12.25 x 19.25”. They’re relativity inexpensive.
Locks/Seals aid in the security of the product. These are imperative to utilize to ensure that your shipment arrives as intended. For our customers, it is important that their products are not tampered with and these assist in ensuring that aim. We offer 1 Gallon-Can and 1 Quart-Can Securing Clips, in quantity of 500; container security seals, which come in a pack of 10; and ring locks for 1 Gallon Paint/Tin Cans and 1 Quart Metal Print Cans.
Drum Accessories can accomplish various aims. Drum Pumps and Drum Faucets assist in the protection of chemical and dispersion of liquid—providing a continuous flow—from a container. A Bung/Plug Wrench assist in quick removal of plugs from plastic or steel tight head drums. We also provide fittings that allow easy application of screws and Six Qt Plastic Funnels that are useful for in dispensing a large volume of liquid into a small opening.
Vermiculite, which our company offers asbestos-free, is able to absorb liquids from spills and act as a cushion when shipping. This is excellent in packaging for dangerous goods, and considered a vital part of the “Variation Packing.” We offer Extra-Coarse Vermiculite in 4A or 3A options, and in 4 cu. and 3 cu. sizes.
If you are shipping materials that require cool temperatures, consider using a Refrigerant Gel Pack. The Refrigerant Gel Pack—like the Poly Bags—are relatively inexpensive and acts as an effective alternative to dry ice and other chemical coolants that could be a risk to the products being shipped—potentially being able to contaminate your goods.
All of the options of packaging materials are in stock and ready to be shipped at a moment’s notice. Our company is constantly seeking to provide the best shipping materials, which means we are always updating packaging materials available. The prior products mentioned are known in the industry as the best materials to accomplish your shipping aims.
Regardless if you are the head of shipping for a Fortune 500 company or if you own a small business and want to ship a small amount of product, our team is ready to assist you and provide invaluable advice to accomplish your specific goals. You can chat with a representative from 8 a.m to 5 p.m. EST on Monday to Friday. A second option to obtain assistance is by initiating LiveChat on our website.
If you decide to speak with a representative, ensure that you mention the products you are planning to ship, the time frame, and the intended destination. Each representative has experience in the field and can provide advice if needed.
