Liquid Packaging Solutions for Fluid Shipments

Fluids are sometimes hard for you to ship. It can be hard for you to safely and securely put the fluids in the packaging. Being able to give your packaging the right protection for all sorts of fluid items is important.  Navigating such complexities is definitely something that you must do.

Secure shipments are also good because it reduces the returns, and also keeps everything aligned from the moment it leaves the factory to when it gets to the customer’s hands.

New Solutions for Liquids 

Liquids are getting so many unique solutions that you will enjoy.

Leak-proof seals are a good one to start.   Seals that aren’t able to be easily leaked is one that you should consider. 

Flexible pouches are another.   These pouches are also used to help move and shape the liquid inside. That way, when there are jostles, there’s less chances of it getting punctured and spilling open.

Speaking of spilling, shock-absorbent containers are also used. There might be stretch wrap around these liquid items, keeping them all neatly together. That way, if it hits a side or corner, it won’t jostle the item too much, and in turn, will prevent the item from dealing with too much shock as a result of these actions. 

Industries that use This 

Most of the time, anything that has a liquid to it will use this type of packaging.

Beverages are one of the most common, since you want to make sure it gets to the customer without spilling. That’s why the seals will create a tight area around the opening. When it’s broken, the person can drink it, but until it gets there, the cap keeps it closed

Cleaning products are another. Having these twist-tie seals will also help with ensuring that the chemicals don’t leak, and in turn, will prevent the item from spilling out. This is especially important when working with corrosive items.

Finally, cosmetics. Many companies are using these leak-proof seals to keep the liquid inside, and pouches that will move and change with the item. Some of these thick glass containers are also made in a manner where they’re not fragile, further protecting everything. 

Environmental Considerations 

One thing about some of these is that they aren’t as eco friendly as you expect. Some are made with single-use plastics, which creates a problem over time.

However, there are more companies looking towards recyclable or reusable liquid packaging. Using a glass c container for example will allow for you to have another opportunity. Aluminum and metal is also recyclable, with many companies  looking for ways to make this seamless for all involved. 

Future Innovations 

Obviously a lot of liquid packaging is focused on the seals. Some companies are exploring materials that are self-sealing, meaning that instead of a person putting the seal on, the seal itself is naturally made.

It can save the company a lot of time, especially if there is a large production line, and also will help to ensure that you’re not wasting time on this packaging either. 

The other unique trend that’s there is smart caps. These are caps that tell you important information. Freshness indicators are a common one, where you’ll find out how fresh the item is, or if the liquid inside has gone flat. Good if you’re buying soda and don’t want to lose the fizz! 

Overall there’s a ton of packaging options, and you’ll be glad to have these. Utilizing liquid packaging solutions means that you’re creating a more fluid packaging that will protect the liquid inside, so that it makes it to the next location without any issues or problems either.
