Expendable
Expendable packaging, while often seen as a single-use solution, offers significant benefits. By leveraging various materials like corrugated cardboard, foams, and films, packages can be precisely engineered to provide tailored cushioning and a custom fit, safeguarding products from transit hazards. This type of product protection also minimizes damage-related expenses like returns and replacements, making expendable packaging a practical and economically viable choice for many industries. Expendable packaging is best used for one-way shipments when the cost to return packaging is prohibitive.
SPG ensures that all expendable products are export-compliant and that they can be shipped globally. Since each packaging scenario varies, our design engineers work with our clients to find the ideal and most cost-effective solution to meet their needs. Below are some of SPG’s expendable packaging solutions:
Corrugated Kits
Multi-material kits to safeguard your product while moving efficiently through your supply chain. Dunnage solutions include molded pulp, build-up-blocks, foam, injection mold, and corrugated partitions. SPG’s custom designs transport your products throughout North America and all over the world.
Molded Pulp
EcoFlex Molded Pulp: Made from recycled paperboard and/or newsprint, EcoFlex Molded Pulp is used as protective packaging across a wide selection of industries. Pulp products generally have a wall thickness of 3/16″ to 1/2″ and is an economical alternative to expanded polystyrene (EPS), vacuumed formed PET, PVC and foams.
Wood Crates
Wood crates are usually used to ship heavy, expensive and high-value products that must be completely contained during shipment. Commonly used in the industrial or agricultural industries, wood crates offer a unique solution to commonplace shipping dilemmas. SPG has extensive experience designing a variety of custom wood crates.
ESD Bags
SPG’s electrostatic discharge (ESD) bags protect electronic components from static electricity with a dissipative layer that prevents the buildup of static charges.
Auto Seat Covers
SPG’s contoured automotive bags are highly engineered and always customized. Typically made from LLDPE or HDPE. SPG is one of only two companies in North America that provide and specialize in developing contoured seat bags.
Pallets
Expendable pallets offer significant benefits by streamlining logistics and reducing costs. Unlike their reusable counterparts, expendable pallets eliminate the need for reverse logistics, saving expenses related to transportation, storage of empties and repair. This makes them ideal for one-way and international shipments.
Expendable Steel Racks
Expendable steel racks (ESRs) are typically used to ship large, complicated parts for automotive and industrial clients. They are best used for one-way transit like those used in the export and transport packaging industries. ESRs are flexible in that they allow you to increase the number of parts you can ship, which reduces freight costs. SPG’s engineers are constantly working to improve ESR product efficiency, durability, flexibility, and economy.
