At The Packaging Doctor, we're always excited to help customers find the best packaging solutions for their products. This week, we had a great question from Liam, who sells a range of cleaning chemicals and is looking for a safe way to package them.
Dear Doctor,
I sell a variety of cleaning chemicals that are used for dishwashers, glass, and drains. I'm currently using plastic bottles, but recently we've been having issues with leaks. Not only is this a problem in terms of product quality, but I also need to pack the bottles in boxes of four. If one bottle leaks, it could mix with other products and cause damage or safety concerns.
What would you recommend to ensure the bottles arrive safely and prevent any chemical mixing?
Best regards, Liam
Hi Liam,
Thank you for reaching out! It's important to handle cleaning chemicals carefully, especially when they’re being transported. We understand your concern about leakage and cross-contamination, so we have a few suggestions that should work well for you.
The best option we recommend is heat shrink packaging. This method involves wrapping each bottle in a strong polythene film and then using a heat gun to shrink it tightly around the container. This not only provides a secure seal but also acts as a secondary barrier in case of a leak.
Polythene shrink film is an excellent choice because it offers good puncture resistance and moisture protection. Even if a bottle were to break, the shrink wrap would contain the spill and prevent it from coming into contact with other items in the box.
To use it, simply place the film over the bottle, cut it to size, and apply heat using a ProShrink Heat Shrink Gun. This tool is highly effective and comes with safety gloves and goggles to protect you and your team during the process.
We believe this solution will help keep your products safe and reduce the risk of damage during transit. Let us know if you'd like more details or assistance with choosing the right size of film.
Best wishes, The Packaging Doctor
