Advantages Of Plastic Trays And Traditional Trays

Following the development of logistics, everyone’s requests for production conditions, storage conditions, and process control are constantly improving. Due to the insurmountable limitations of wooden pallets in terms of production and standard production, plastic pallets have entered a field of vision and soon occupied a place. It is the most widely used in professional plastic pallets such as machinery, electronics, food, medicine, and clothing. Its advantages are more outstanding than wooden pallets, and it has a wider application.

Advantages of plastic trays and traditional trays
First, durability: are about 10 times longer than wooden pallets.
Second, the reliability: the reliability of the plastic electronic pallet greatly reduces the hazard consumption of the pallet, and the damage of the material on the pallet due to the pallet hazard, the plastic pallet is lighter than the same wooden pallet, so the weight and cost of the transportation are reduced.

Third, Plastic pallets can be cleaned and reused, and the US Department of Agriculture is advancing companies to use plastic pallets to carry goods. And now the US Environmental Protection Agency is aware that plastic pallets should be the preferred item for the US Department of Energy and the US Department of Defense.

Fourth, the global trend: Recently the European Community has announced the decree requesting the delivery of all food, beverages, medicines, it is necessary to use plastic trays.

Fifth, Speciality: Plastic pallets will become more and more popular in the special commodity market, such as food, beverage, pharmaceutical industry, and can be made into various colors according to the requirements of different factories, plus corresponding Company logos and symbols.

Sixth, safe: due to the anti-hazard of plastic pallets, workers’ compensation claims are reduced accordingly, and the reduction in the use of wood in the factory is equal to the reduction of fire safety costs.

Seventh, Residual value: The used toy blister can be sold at the original value of 30%, because the plastic pallet can be sold back to the manufacturer or other entities for reuse.

Eighth, Environmental protection: Plastic pallets are environmentally friendly commodities. Because they can fully recover and use them from scratch, they greatly reduce waste and disposal costs.

Ninth, Maintaining the forest: The use of plastic pallets can avoid the loss of thousands of acres of forest each year.

The development of plastic pallets benefits from the following factors: the primary plastic pallets have superior performance; secondly, the country has increased the control of deforestation in recent years, which has led to a significant increase in the cost of timber, and the increasing demand for wooden pallets in Europe and the United States. Harsh, affecting the use of plastic pallets; in addition, the plastic pallet processing equipment is highly automated and has a large output. Following the decline in the performance of China’s plastic machinery and the drop in the price of plastic materials, the cost of plastic pallets is no longer a bottleneck restricting the use of plastic pallets.

What Are The Advantages Of Blister Packaging

First, printing technology that saves packaging costs and transportation costs. Since most of the flexible packaging materials are soft and light films and sheets, the packaging body and the packaging materials occupy a small weight, the ineffective empty space in the package is small, the circulation and transportation of the goods are very convenient, and the transportation cost is much lower than that of the rigid packaging.

Second, the process of blister packaging products is simple, easy to operate and use. Product manufacturers and packagers can package and produce their own functional soft packaging materials and equipment, and the technical requirements are easy to master the central printing. Flexible packaging products are easy to open and easy to use.

Third, blister packaging has a strong commodity appeal, and is particularly suitable for printing packaging requirements printing technology. Flexible packaging is the most affinitive packaging tool for packaging. The soft packaging material has light texture, softness, comfortable hand feeling, and is suitable for colorful printing. The information transmission effect is good, which gives consumers a good sense of credibility.

Fourth, the energy consumption of blister packaging resources is relatively low, and it also has great advantages in environmental protection. Soft packaging uses less natural materials, the weight ratio of packaging materials to contents is very small, and the ratio of the volume of the packaging to the volume of the contents is also small. Therefore, it can be said that, in terms of the variety and quantity of resource consumption, blister packaging flexible packaging has unparalleled advantages in other packaging forms. Blister packaging This material is relatively soft and easy to fold and bundle. The recycling and transportation of waste materials in blister flexible packaging can be said to be quite convenient. There are many waste disposal methods, depending on the nature of the waste materials. Landfill, incineration, decomposition, regeneration, etc. are adopted.

Fifth, blister packaging can meet the diversified protection requirements of commodities, and significantly improve the quality of life of the printing technology. There are various flexible packaging functional materials, which can not meet the barrier requirements for water vapor, gas, grease, organic solvents, etc., but also meet the requirements of anti-rust, anti-corrosion, anti-electromagnetic radiation, anti-static, anti-chemical, etc. As well as sterility preservation, non-toxic and non-polluting requirements.

Blister Packaging Custom Future Trends

With the development of modern society and the wide application of blister packaging, the fixed size of traditional blister packaging has become increasingly unable to meet the needs of modern industries. According to statistics, with the establishment of a comprehensive well-off society in 2020, a good economic benefit The new new blister packaging custom industry environment with low energy consumption and less pollution has also been built.

At present, there are still many problems in the customization of blister packaging in China. Therefore, there will be great room for improvement in the future, such as simple structure, less deep processing, insufficient functional products, etc., and manufacturers of blister packaging are generally small in scale. Compared with the western region, the eastern region has developed a lot of blister packaging customization. In addition to the Shanghai and Zhejiang blister packaging industry chain, Schindler packaging blister packaging custom industrial chain is second to none in the country.

Trends in food packaging

Numerous reports industry associations agree that use of smart indicators will increase. There are a number of different indicators with different benefits for food producers, consumers and retailers.
Temperature recorders are used to monitor products shipped in a cold chain and to help validate the cold chain. Digital temperature data loggers measure and record the temperature history of food shipments. They sometimes have temperatures displayed on the indicator or have other output (lights, etc.): The data from a shipment can be downloaded (cable, RFID, etc.) to a computer for further analysis. These help identify if there has been temperature abuse of products and can help determine the remaining shelf life. They can also help determine the time of temperature extremes during shipment so corrective measures can be taken.

Time temperature indicators integrate the time and temperature experienced by the indicator and adjacent foods. Some use chemical reactions that result in a color change while others use the migration of a dye through a filter media. To the degree that these physical changes in the indicator match the degradation rate of the food, the indicator can help indicate probable food degradation.
Radio Frequency Identification is applied to food packages for supply chain control and has shown a significant benefit in allowing food producers and retailers create full real time visibility of their supply chain.

Plastic packaging being used is usually non-biodegradable due to possible interactions with the food. Also, biodegradable polymers often require special composting conditions to properly degrade. Normal sealed landfill conditions do not promote biodegradation. Biodegradable plastics includes biodegradable films and coatings synthesized from organic materials and microbial polymers. Some package materials are edible. For example, pharmaceuticals are sometimes in capsules made of gelatin, starch, potato or other materials. Newer bioplastics, films and products are being developed.

Barcodes have been used for decades in packaging many products. 2D barcodes used in Autocoding are increasingly applied to food packaging to ensure products are correctly packaged and date coded.
The ability of a package to fully empty or dispense a viscous food is somewhat dependent on the surface energy of the inner walls of the container. The use of superhydrophobic surfaces is useful but can be further improved by using new lubricant-impregnated surfaces.

Why Can’t You Recycle Clamshell Containers Made of PET?

According to the National Association for PET Container Resources, or NAPCOR, single-layer thermoplastic PET clamshells could indeed—theoretically, at least—be recycled along with the PET soda bottles we’ve all been recycling for years.

I should note, however, that the Association of Plastics Recyclers says NAPCOR is full of shit—the two applications use different formulations that melt at different temperatures.

It doesn’t really matter either way, because the real problem is that you and rest of the public tend not to know the difference between a single-layer thermoplastic PET clamshell and a hole in the ground—and the people who work at recycling centers don’t do a whole lot better.

There are so many different kinds of plastic formed into clamshell-like packaging that even trained recycling techs have a tough time telling them apart. And if the item has an adhesive sticker, or a peel-off film, or one of those sanitary napkins that are put under steaks, it’s not usable even if it’s exactly the right kind of plastic.

Adjustment time and auxiliary preparation time for the job. Only by constantly adapting to new changes in the market and meeting the requirements of different users can we improve the competitiveness of packaging and packaging enterprises

Functions of Food packaging

Packaging and food package labeling have several objectives

Physical protection – The food enclosed in the package may require protection from, among , shock, vibration, compression, temperature, bacteria, etc.
Barrier protection – A barrier from oxygen, water vapor, dust, etc., is often required. Permeation is a critical factor in design. Some packages contain desiccants or oxygen absorbers to help extend shelf life. Modified atmospheres or controlled atmospheres are also maintained in some food packages. Keeping the contents clean, fresh, and safe for the intended shelf life is a primary function.
Containment or agglomeration – Small items are typically grouped together in one package to allow efficient handling. Liquids, powders, and granular materials need containment.
Information transmission – Packages and labels communicate how to use, transport, recycle, or dispose of the package or product. Some types of information are required by governments.
Marketing – The packaging and labels can be used by marketers to encourage potential buyers to purchase the product. Aesthetically pleasing and eye-appealing food presentations can encourage people to consider the contents. Package design has been an important and constantly evolving phenomenon for several decades. Marketing communications and graphic design are applied to the surface of the food packing and (in many cases) the point of sale display. The colour of the package plays a significant role in evoking emotions that persuade the consumer to make the purchase.
Security – Packaging can play an important role in reducing the security risks of shipment. Packages can be made with improved tamper resistance to deter tampering and also can have tamper-evident features to help indicate tampering. Packages can be engineered to help reduce the risks of package pilferage; some package constructions are more resistant to pilferage and some have pilfer-indicating seals. Packages may include authentication seals to help indicate that the package and contents are not counterfeit. Packages also can include anti-theft devices, such as dye packs, RFID tags, or electronic article surveillance tags, that can be activated or detected by devices at exit points and require specialized tools to deactivate. Using packaging in this way is a means of retail loss prevention.
Convenience – Packages can have features which add convenience in distribution, handling, stacking, display, sale, opening, reclosing, use, and reuse.
Portion control – Single-serving packaging has a precise amount of contents to control usage. Bulk commodities (such as salt) can be divided into packages that are a more suitable size for individual households. It also aids the control of inventory: selling sealed one-liter bottles of milk, rather than having people bring their own bottles to fill themselves.

History of Food packaging

Packaging of food products have seen a vast transformation in technology usage and application from the stone age to the industrial revolution

7000 BC: The adoption of pottery and glass which saw industrialization around 1500 BC

1800: Nicolas Appert in response to extending shelf life of food for the French Army employed the use of glass bottles in thermal food treatment which was later replaced by metal cans

1870: The use of paper board was launched and corrugated materials patented

1880s: First cereal packaged in a folding box by Quaker Oats

1890s: Crown cap for glass bottles was patented by William Painter

1940s: Aerosol was first used by the marines during the world war II in pesticides application

1960s: Development of the two-piece drawn and wall-ironed metal cans in the USA, the ring- pull opener and the Tetra Brik Aseptic carton package

1970s: 1970 Bar code system was introduced in the retail and manufacturing industry. PET plastic blow-mold bottle technology widely used in the beverage industry was introduced

1990s: The application of digital printing on food packages became widely adopted

Plastic packaging saw its inaugural use during the world war II even though materials employed in its manufacturing such as cellulose nitrate, styrene and vinyl chloride were discovered in the 1800’s
