In the Packaging industry there are many different ratings, certifications and drop testing that can be done to deem a package safe<\/strong> for shipping. But safe from what?<\/p>\n

To design an effective<\/strong> and safe<\/strong> packaging solution, you need the weight of the item, fragility (G-Force) and the shipping method. With this information, in most cases, you can design a solution that will protect your product from being damaged in transport.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The important trap to avoid is over-engineering the packaging.<\/p>\n

In many circumstances, less is more<\/strong>. Having 12\u2019\u2019 of polyurethane foam all around a glass vase seems like a great idea, but in fact a drop test proves differently. All the impact, otherwise call G-Force, will be transmitted to the glass vase and it will most probably explode on impact.<\/p>\n

The solution is to use the dynamic cushioning curves chart<\/strong> to calculate the material of any given thickness and how it behaves during different impact conditions. Specifically, the portion of the design which directly supports the load and functions – to absorb shock<\/strong> during impacts. There may be additional material used in the design assembly, like the outer container to help reduce the g-force effect on the inner package.<\/p>\n

Using the correct materials at right thickness and density with a design that allows for g-force dispersion within the packaging will permit the item to survive and pass most drop test with flying colors.<\/p>\n
