Bespoke Plastic Packaging Solutions from SSI Schaefer

Why look anywhere else for unique plastic packaging solutions, when you can find the answer to all your storage and transport needs under on roof from SSI Schaefer, the UK’s leading storage and materials handling equipment solutions provider.

From bespoke packaging and mirror-welded containers to vacuum-formed inserts, EPP foam inserts and made-to-measure inserts, there are over 2400 SSI Schaefer containers in production that meet the requirements of today’s fast moving logistics industry.

Getting the right protection for your product is crucial when shipping from manufacturer to the consumer and in many cases a single packaging unit is not enough; products often require special protection or customised packaging.

SSI Schaefer offers a two part bespoke packaging container using Euro dimensions with an individual customised insert to achieve optimum transport, storage and protection conditions or a mirror-welded container providing the perfect storage solution. Each insert can be customised to match the contours of the packaged product and come in a choice of vacuum-formed, foam or fabricated sets.

Mirror-welded containers from SSI Schaefer have been designed to suit a particular product that requires packaging in special sized containers due to the size or shape being too small or too large for the standard Euro sized containers. Sections can be removed from the basic container according to the required size or alternatively several containers can be joined together using heated mirror welding to form a new container.

The advantages of using SSI Schaefer packaging solutions:

• Products are protected from external effects during transport and storage • Production of commercially available and transportable inserts • Reduced waste thanks to returnable packaging • Reduced costs for disposable packaging • Automated handling • Sturdy, stackable and durable

As specialists in storage technology for a broad range of industries, SSI Schaefer offers a unique range of containers in terms of width and depth – from folding boxes to technical containers for fully automated warehouses.

Many types are available, from conductive containers used to store electrical materials to hazardous goods containers used to transport airbag gas canisters for the automotive industry. Schaefer’s KB bulk container series is ideal for automated handling and the FKB foldable bulk container is useful for transporting heavy and bulky items.

Safety during transport is paramount to Schaefer so all containers can be fitted with lids or flaps and can be sealed with clips. Various labelling and partitioning accessories can be used to organise small parts storage using recessed handles or handgrips for ease of handling.
