Packaging has gone from being a simple add-on to being one of the most significant strategic advantages for companies. Industrial packaging provides a protective mechanism to product manufacturers, product exporters, and companies who sell products online. Regardless of the type of business you are in - logistics, construction, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, or e-commerce - industrial packaging ensures that you ship your products intact, without any damage or loss.
Three important components of industrial packaging are the strength of the packaging, the utility of the packaging, and the aesthetics of the packaging. At Inbox Group, we provide customers with packaging solutions that have been developed specifically to protect their products and simplify transporting their products across the country of Australia. Our packaging solutions have been developed to meet the strength, sustainability, and utility requirements of modern-day businesses.
Industrial Packaging - What is it?
Industrial packaging is a term used to describe the materials designed specifically to protect, store and transport commercial or industrial products. Industrial packaging materials differ from retail packaging in that the material used in manufacturing industrial packaging is designed for durability, longevity and high-performing capabilities to withstand harsh handling.
The types of products protected with industrial packaging are as follows:
Machinery and metallic components.
Fragile medical equipment.
Automotive, construction and electrical equipment.
Large/oversized items.
Products shipped long distances.
Types of Industrial Packaging
Because different products vary in size, weight, and fragility, and because different modes of transportation also vary, each type of product has a specific type of packaging options available. Each packaging option has a common utility.
Corrugated Box (Heavy-Duty): Protects goods from impact and has stacking capabilities.
Pallet/Crate (Wood): Custom designed for larger/made to fit items where they need to be shipped securely.
Protective Internal Packaging: Inserts made of foam, bubble wrap, and molded cushioning protect against vibration and shock.
Bulk Packaging (drum/IBC/bulk bag): Used to package liquids, chemicals, powder or granular products.
Printed Packaging: Commercial packaging used to help maintain and support the business brand and/or packaging requirements in regard to export and regulated industries.

Choosing your packaging requires a thorough awareness of every good you have, its distribution method, and any further challenges you could face. Knowing this extensive information will help you to best pack your goods and which kind of packaging will best safeguard and/or support your product.
