Suspension packaging can provide several benefits if you ship different eCommerce orders or frequently send parts or products of varying sizes and shapes.
Suspension packaging is a type of packaging that protects products by containing them between 2 layers of film. When placed within an outer shipping box, the product being shipped is suspended in the middle of the pack. The surrounding void protects the product from damage during shipping.
At Suttons Performance Packaging, we have supplied Sealed Air packaging, including Korrvu suspension and retention packs, for over 25 years. However, as approved Sealed Air partners with extensive design capability, we can supply your business with fully bespoke protective packaging tailored precisely to your application. This reduces damage, material use, packing times, and, ultimately, your costs.
Suspension packaging offers great protection for fragile products by securely suspending items between two layers of durable film.
Suspension packaging protects fragile products and parts throughout the shipping cycle. It does this by suspending your product in the airspace of the shipping container between two layers of highly resilient low-slip film.
The design suspends your product away from impact, providing consistent protection for fragile products even after repeated drops. The tough and resilient suspension film retains its effectiveness, allowing for return shipments and multiple uses if required.
Suspension packaging also provides a unique and attractive appearance upon opening for end users, particularly for eCommerce applications. Your customers can easily recycle the entire pack, including the outer box, inserts, and film, in most UK kerbside recycling schemes.
By securely positioning your item between two layers of film, it ensures stability and cushioning throughout transit. Using suspension packaging is quick and easy when following these steps:
