Packaging that reduces breakages.
Extensive experience in EPS customised packaging design
helps us identify needs:
1. Accuracy, dimensions
2. Protection
3. Aesthetics
4. Marketing appeal
5. Handling, stacking
6. Insulation |
7. Strength
8. Cost
9. Durability
10. Weight
11. Environmental
12. All of the above |
Because of the demands on modern packaging
it often requires the use of multiple materials. After
design, rigorous product
testing
is conducted before packaging is put into use. Real world
conditions are simulated for shock, drop, vibration, compression
temperature
and humidity.
Characteristics of EPS mouldings.
1. High strength and rigidity
2. Light weight, lower transport costs
3. Closed cell structure. Presence of air inside the
cells imparts cushioning and thermal insulation
properties
4. Shock absorption capacity
5. Compatibility with other materials
6. Moisture resistant
7. Higher density, smoother finish
8. Recyclable
Consultation, mould design and mould construction
are critical to the quality outcome of the moulded
product.
Our people
are trained
in this area, we recognise time spent in this area
is beneficial to all concerned. The versatility
of EPS with economical moulding processes is why it is used all
over the world to protect packaged goods.
EPS PRODUCT
COMPONENTRY:
While
the concept is not unique, the design and application has been
refined to a new level
of performance. Desired
quality levels
in EPS have been raised with better accuracy
and surface finish not normally found in the plastic
foam industry.
The manufacture
of EPS product componentry requires modern
computer controlled machinery with small dimensional and
shape tolerances.
Considerations taken into account for design
options include: thermodynamic properties,
aerodynamics, durability, cost effectiveness
and hygiene.
The cost effectiveness of EPS offers the opportunity
to manufacture a 3 dimensional shape for
an application where
it is used as a
hidden support structure or hidden and lost
during the manufacturing process eg: Full mould casting
for engine

EPS forms an integral component for
surfboards and windsurfers. The weight of the EPS is
constructed, followed by our CNC cutting the blank contours. |
