Custom Packaging for Electrical Equipment

Custom Packaging for Electrical Equipment

By 360 Ecopackaging On 0 Comments

Why should you use custom packaging for electrical equipment?

 

The use of custom electrical packaging is important because electrical manufacturers work with high-value, often fragile and heavy equipment and products. Engineering, industrial and energy solutions in this sector increasingly have connections and finishes where the slightest impact can render the product unusable and result in financial loss.

As a result, the supply chain in this sector is one of the most demanding in terms of transportation and storage, requiring packaging that offers maximum security during the different phases of distribution.

The power and energy sector is also one of the most concerned about reducing its carbon footprint, so there is a growing interest in implementing sustainable packaging.

 

What are the benefits of custom packaging for electrical equipment manufacturers?

 

This is a big challenge for packaging companies. For us, it is essential to carry out a technical-economic study based on which we design the most efficient packaging solution to optimize the logistics process.

In most cases, customized packaging is the best option because it offers significant advantages:

  1. By adapting to the goods, they guarantee integral protection during transportation.
  2. Mobility and handling of products is more efficient, saving packaging time and auxiliary packaging costs.
  3. By reducing the use of unnecessary materials, space is used efficiently and excess waste is avoided.

 

Wood Packaging for Electrical Equipment and Components

 

Due to its strength and versatility, wood packaging for the electrical industry has proven to be the most efficient for your supply chain.

Custom Packaging for Electrical Equipment

Our wooden crates are manufactured with high quality materials, shock and moisture resistant. They have ISPM 15 certification for international trade, valid for all types of transportation (air, sea and land).

Assembly and disassembly do not require the use of tools or nails. It is quick and safe to handle, and when disassembled it takes up a fifth of its size, saving on storage costs.

Because it is modular, it can be fully utilized as it can be used in components. The base can be used for auxiliary transportation before the box is completely closed for shipping.

 

Success story: Registered fastening system for electrical cabinets

If you follow our blog, you will have noticed the importance of packing aids in securing loads during transportation.

Lashing and securing elements are necessary complements because they provide additional protection. At 360 Eco Packaging, we are always thinking about new packaging solutions, so we have been studying how to incorporate fastening systems into the packaging itself, without altering its characteristics.

And Eureka, the result is an innovative internal lashing system for electrical cabinets.

  • Customized wooden cabinet for the transport and handling of electrical material. Registered system.
  • Customized wooden cabinet for the transport and handling of electrical material. Registered system.

Customized wooden cabinet for the transport and handling of electrical material. Registered system.

With this device, we are able to quickly and efficiently secure the case by integrating the immobilization elements into the base of the case itself.

Thanks to this system, we have eliminated unnecessary packaging aids such as pallets, supports, cleats, etc. In this way, we optimize weight and internal volume, which translates into a reduction in logistics and transport costs for our customers, especially in air transport.

In 360 Eco Packaging we have a wide experience in packaging for industrial sectors.

Rail Transport

Rail Transport

By 360 Ecopackaging On 8 Comments

The transport of goods by rail is the best way to move large goods from one place to another. In this post, we will talk about the transport regulations related to this modality and its advantages.

Rail transport

Rail freight transport regulations

At the international level, rail freight transport is regulated by a series of international agreements and conventions:

 

In the European Union:

  • Directive on Railway Liberalization.
  • Directive on the Interoperability of the Railway System.

In Spain:

  • Railway Sector Law and its corresponding regulatory provisions.

 

Advantages of Rail Freight Transportation

Rail represents great advantages for certain routes and types of cargo, compared to other modes of transport. For example:

Efficiency

First and foremost, rail is more efficient in terms of energy consumption and carbon emissions. According to the European Environment Agency, CO2 emissions from rail transport are 3.5 times lower per tonne-kilometer than those of road transport.

Reliability

  • One of the singularities of rail freight transport is that, unlike other modes of transport, it is the least vulnerable to external agents such as traffic or weather conditions.
  • Its routes are fixed and its schedules are pre-established and punctual. Consequently, it is one of the transport systems with the highest level of organization, fluidity and regularity.

Capacity and adaptability

  • The load capacity of a rail convoy is very wide. A freight train can carry almost any type of cargo, since it has a variety of platforms and wagons. For example, boxcars, gondolas, trailer boxes, hoppers, tank cars, intermodal platforms and autoracks.
  • This versatility allows it to move any type of goods quickly and safely, especially heavy loads or large packages.

Economical

The railroad has a more stable and lower cost than other types of transportation, although the transshipment of cargo can increase costs.

To conclude, it is true that rail transport is the most popular intermodal system. This is because it complements perfectly with other connections via land, sea and air. But limitations in infrastructure or traffic routes in some countries make logistics difficult.

 

At 360 Eco Packaging we are convinced that rail freight has the potential to continue to grow. With the implementation of appropriate policies and measures, rail will play a key role in the future of logistics in Spain and Europe.

Circular packaging

Circular Packaging for a New Cycle

By 360 Ecopackaging On 0 Comments

It is a fact that the intensive use of natural resources and the volume of waste we generate have a huge environmental impact. It is also a fact that through a Circular Economy we can transform our throwaway model into a new, more balanced and respectful production system, able to provide value thanks to continuous and regenerative cycles.

At 360 Eco Packaging we are contributing to a sustainable economic model.

Our company has spent years helping companies in a wide variety of sectors to be more productive and reduce their environmental footprint through efficient, sustainable and profitable packaging systems.

And we do this from a circular perspective based on three principles:

  • Reduce and valorize our resources.

Our raw materials come from certified sustainable sources, as well as from our own manufacturing surpluses. We also apply circular designs to our packaging solutions, based on technical, economic and ecological feasibility diagnoses.

  • Extending the useful life of our products.

We manufacture returnable packaging that can be reused and recycled by companies, allowing them to save costs, produce less waste and optimize their logistics processes.

  • Identify opportunities for improvement in the supply chain of our customers.

We provide an advisory service and optimization of packaging processes, creating circular packaging solutions for every need.

With this work philosophy we have developed patents in returnable packaging, such as our Clipping Crate® and obtained certifications in ISO9001, PEFC/FSC chain of custody and ISPM15 (phytosanitary regulations for export), among others.

We also participate as a member of the Subcommittee CTN 192 SC 03 (UNE/ISO) in the development of a new regulation in the field of transport of dangerous goods, together with AENOR and the Ministry of Industry. We also belong to the board of directors of the Innovation Club in Asturias and collaborate in the development of new projects with leading technology centers and companies such as AIDIMME and Aglae.

 

For our company, being sustainable has become a competitive advantage.

For this reason, we want to share our knowledge and experience with companies and professionals who are still unaware of the benefits of the circular economy or are wondering how to implement a circular strategy in their packaging systems.

We want this blog to serve as a meeting point where we can provide resources on trends, regulations, programs and success stories that facilitate the practical application of a circular economy.

The future will be circular. And as in every cycle, there is always a starting point.

We hope that each post will be a source of inspiration that helps to see packaging in a different way.
