Packaging benefits |
|
Packaging plays an important role in determining
the quality of the product. Products with excellent qualities,
when not packed properly for transportation and storage loose
their grade. Plastic Packaging meets all the requirements
of a perfect packaging system.
|
|
|
|
In food processing industry plastic packaging
helps to protect food products against contamination and retain
desired temperatures longer.
|
|
In Automobile sector, many industries prefer
to receive their supplies and ship their products in reusable
plastic shipping containers (RPSC's) rather than single use
corrugated boxes
|
|
Returnable containers are also used in meat packaging industries. |
|
Plastic packaging provides the ultimate
protection in packaging office machines, entertainment units,
computer components and other delicate products.
|
|
The ability to withstand the stresses during
transportation and the capability to protect the particles
from foreign agents like dust and germs has made plastic the
ultimate packing agents for all kind of particles.
