Innovative protective packaging solutions can enhance your company’s image with internal packaging that showcases your brand. It demonstrates a commitment to environmentally responsible packaging. However, it also minimizes the size and weight of the overall package for lower shipping costs. The right protective packaging solution depends on what you’re shipping: fragile or irregularly shaped items typically need void fill, static-sensitive electronics need anti-static materials, and light-sensitive products need UV-blocking film.
Air pillows are available in Earthware recycled or biodegradable blends. These are tinted green specifically for customer awareness; or choose custom printed air pillows with your company branding.
Properly packing your products for shipping is critical because it reduces damages and returns. With proper packaging methods and materials, you can ensure your products reach their destination in perfect condition. APS manufactures a full line of AirPouch inflate-on-demand protective packaging products for a variety of uses, to which Pyramid Packaging also offers.
Our protective packing and void-fill air pillow products offer high quality alternatives to traditional peanut, foam, paper packing and bundle bubble materials. As a result, it is saving warehouse space, packing time and shipping costs.
Special packaging materials should be used for special product shipping. For instance, items like electronics and electrical components often require anti-static materials, such as our AirPouch Anti-Static film.
We offer a full line of high-quality bubble, air-pillow and tube materials for your specialized needs and our AirPouch specialists will help you determine the best products and protective packaging solutions for your operation.
Explore Our Protective Packaging Solutions
Beyond void-fill, Pyramid Packaging’s protective packaging solutions cover static-sensitive electronics and light-sensitive products as well — so whatever you’re shipping, there’s a protective format built for it. Choosing the wrong protective packaging — or none at all — is one of the most common causes of shipping damage, product returns and unnecessary material costs. Here’s a closer look at each category, what it protects against, and where it’s typically used.
Void Fill & Air Pillows
Pyramid Packaging’s void fill air pillows fill empty space inside a shipment to keep products from shifting and getting damaged in transit. Compared to packing peanuts or paper, air pillows are cleaner, faster to load and take up far less warehouse space since they arrive deflated and are inflated on demand.
Pyramid Packaging distributes the AirPouch Express 3 Tabletop Void-Fill System, which produces continuous strips of AirPouch EZ-Tear air pillows at speeds over 50 feet per minute in semi- or fully-automatic modes. The perforated, puncture-resistant pillows are available in 8, 10 and 12 inch widths and tear off in exactly the length needed — no scissors required. Because the film ships flat and inflates only when needed, a single roll takes up a fraction of the storage space of pre-inflated bubble or foam, which also cuts freight costs on the incoming material itself.
Anti-Static Packaging
Electronic components are vulnerable to electrostatic discharge (ESD) during manufacturing, storage and shipping. Anti-static packaging protects them using one of several methods: static-shielding bags (a metalized layer that blocks external ESD), static-dissipative bags (safely bleed off static buildup), conductive packaging (creates a Faraday cage around the product) and moisture-barrier bags (combine ESD and moisture protection for semiconductors and integrated circuits).
Typical applications include printed circuit boards, semiconductors, computer components, medical electronics, telecommunications equipment and automotive electronics. Pyramid Packaging stocks reclosable, flat, tubing and cushioned formats in clear, pink and silver metalized finishes, and our packaging engineers can develop a customized anti-static poly bag to match your exact size, thickness, closure type and graphics requirements.
UV Protective Bags
UV protective bags shield light-sensitive products — medications, electronics and photographic film — from ultraviolet degradation during storage and shipping. They’re built from AMBR translucent amber film or fully opaque black film infused with UV inhibitors (UVI), blocking 90% of UV(a) and UV(b) rays. Amber film lets you see the product while blocking UV; opaque black film blocks all light for maximum protection. These bags are widely used for pharmacy fulfillment, unit-dose packaging and other applications where light exposure would compromise the product. A Selector Guide-style comparison of amber vs. opaque vs. UVI additive level helps match the right bag to your product’s sensitivity and expected storage duration.
