Suspension packaging

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 benefits

Suspension packaging offers great protection for fragile products by securely suspending items between two layers of durable film.

Custom suspension packaging

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.

How does it work?

Using suspension packaging

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:

Step 1
Put one-half of the suspension packaging (cardboard frame and film) into a pre-assembled outer box.
Step 2
Put the product you are shipping in the centre of the film.
Step 3
Place the other half of the suspension packaging over the product to contain it within the two films.
Step 4
Close the outer box. Doing so creates tension in the films, retaining the product in place.
Step 5
Seal the box and ship using your chosen courier/transport provider.
