Plastic Packaging Design    
There are few consumer products that are packed without accompanying materials. Most electronics and auto parts are coupled with accessories and instructions that increase the size of product boxes. These materials need to be considered when packaging is designed for shipping.

Choose Safety and Savings with Plastic Packaging
Packaging Engineers or Designers need to think about the total weight of packaging.  When containers are properly loaded, merchandise is optimally protected.   In addition to merchandise damage, another problem with overweight packaging containers is the strain they place on fork lifts, hand trucks and pallet jacks.

Pallet loads are commonly stacked two high in truck shipments and three to five high in the warehouse. This can create a dangerous situation if the stack is unstable.  Many of Robinson’s pallets have stacking features which create packs that are stacked safely and efficiently.  This improves worker safety as well as reducing freight costs.  Knowledgeable, thoughtful pack design using returnable plastic packaging ensures that merchandise is protected, freight costs are efficient, and worker safety is optimized.

The tendency for many stockers and warehouse workers is to fill packaging boxes as much as possible. This practice is driven by high shipping costs, inspection fees and fuel prices that make fully packed containers necessary. Reusable packaging containers need to be used and packed properly to protect merchandise from damage during shipment.

The designers at Robinson Industries Inc. can produce reusable pallets using durable sustainable plastic. Shippers, retailers, and other interested businesses should inquire about Robinson's production capabilities and pricing by contacting sales@robinsonind.com
