Which materials for packaging are used with each of the CMB machines?
The packaging machinery and materials that we provide from CMB are a guarantee of high quality so that your products can be packaged properly and transported in optimal conditions, thus minimising and eliminating any possible damage they may suffer. In addition, our aim to achieve a constant reduction of the carbon footprint resulting from the manufacturing process of CMB machinery also permeates each and every one of our packaging machines. In what way does it do so? Well, they are highly efficient machines that minimise energy consumption, especially cold packaging systems, use recyclable packaging materials and generate very little waste or surplus.
Which packaging materials do CMB machines work with?
The main packaging materials that CMB machines work with are completely recyclable and can be classified into two main lines: those that use film in its different versions and those that use cardboard and kraft paper. We will now go into the characteristics and singularities of each of them in more detail.
Polyethylene shrink film
In the packaging and logistics sector, shrink film is a fully recyclable material used to protect and package products during transport and storage. It is applied to the products and subjected to a heat process so that it adapts and adjusts to adhere firmly and securely.
Shrink film is used for many types of packaging including, for example, those that need to bundle and palletise products, creating more stable and secure unit loads. This facilitates handling and transport, reducing the risk of damage and loss during the logistics process. In addition, shrink film can be used to protect products from moisture, dust and other external agents that may affect their quality.
The use of shrink film in the packaging and logistics sector offers several advantages, such as reduced storage and transport costs, product protection, ease of handling and improved product presentation and identification.
In short, shrink film is a versatile and effective material for the protection and packaging of products in the packaging and logistics sector. Its use ensures the safety and quality of products during transport and storage, improving the efficiency and profitability of logistics processes.
Shrink film is used in machines that pack with heat, such as the ERB, COMBO and ERS Series.
Stretch polyethylene film
Stretch film is a 100% recyclable material used to protect and secure cargo during transport and storage. It is composed of high-density polyethylene, which stretches when applied to the load and adheres to itself, providing an elastic and secure envelope.
Stretch film is used to wrap and secure, among many other packaging applications, loads on pallets, containers and crates, preventing them from moving or shifting during transport. It is also used to protect cargo from dirt, dust, moisture and other external factors that may affect its quality.
The use of stretch film in the packaging and logistics sector offers several advantages, such as reducing transport and storage costs, preventing damage and loss of cargo during the logistics process and improving efficiency and safety in cargo handling and transportation.
In addition, stretch film can be used in combination with other packaging materials, such as bubble film, cell air, cardboard and kraft paper, to provide additional protection to the cargo.
Stretch film is used with CMB’s cold packaging machinery such as the ERL, COOLPACK and SUPER P Series.
Polyethylene bubble film
Polyethylene bubble film is a protective material widely used in the packaging and logistics sector to protect and cushion cargo during transport and storage. It consists of two layers of polyethylene, between which are sealed small air bubbles, providing an additional layer of protection and a soft, cushioned surface.
Polyethylene bubble film is used to protect fragile and delicate objects, such as furniture, electronics, glassware, ceramics, among others, during transport and storage. It is also used to fill empty spaces in packages and boxes to provide additional protection to the cargo.
The use of polyethylene bubble film offers several advantages, such as preventing damage and breakage of products during transport, cushioning and protecting objects against shock and vibration, reducing transport and storage costs, and improving efficiency in handling and transporting products.
In addition, polyethylene bubble film can be used in combination with other packaging materials, such as cardboard and polyethylene stretch film, to provide additional protection to the cargo.
This type of film is used in the COOLPACK Series machines to create a first protective bag which is then wrapped with stretch film and also in the SUPER P Series modules.
Polyethylene or cell-air film mousse
Polyethylene film mousse or cell-air is a packaging material used to protect and cushion cargo during transport and storage. It consists of a layer of foamed polyethylene, which provides an additional layer of protection and a soft, cushioned surface.
It is used to protect fragile and delicate objects and to fill empty spaces in packages and boxes to provide additional protection to the cargo.
Its use offers several advantages, such as preventing damage and breakage of products during transport, cushioning and protecting objects against shock and vibration, reducing transport and storage costs, and improving efficiency in handling and transporting products. In addition, it can be used in combination with other packaging materials, such as cardboard and polyethylene stretch film, to provide additional protection to the load.
In short, their use makes it possible to guarantee the safety and quality of products, improving the efficiency and profitability of logistical processes.
Kraft paper
Kraft paper is a strong, high-density paper used to wrap and protect products during transportation and storage. This type of paper is produced from wood pulp and is characterised by its rough texture and light brown colour.
Kraft paper is mainly used to wrap products of different sizes and shapes, such as furniture, household appliances, machinery parts, among others. It is also used as padding in boxes and packages, to cushion the load and prevent it from moving during transport, as well as to give privacy to the packaged product, thus preventing the contents of the package from being seen.
The use of kraft paper in the packaging and logistics sector offers several advantages, such as its strength and durability, its ability to withstand heavy loads, its ability to protect products from moisture, dirt and dust, and its ease of use and handling.
In addition, kraft paper is a recyclable and biodegradable material, making it a more sustainable and environmentally friendly option compared to other packaging materials.
Cardboard in rolls
Rollboard is a material used in the packaging and logistics sector as a lighter and cheaper alternative to corrugated board. It consists of several layers of flat paper glued together to form a sheet that is thicker and stronger than regular paper.
This type of material, depending on its characteristics, can be used to manufacture boxes and other types of packaging, such as trays and dividers, to protect and transport products of different sizes and weights. In addition, the roll paperboard is very versatile and can be customised with prints and designs to enhance product presentation and reinforce branding.
The advantages of rollboard include its light weight, which reduces transport costs, and its strength, which protects products during transport and storage. It is also recyclable and environmentally friendly, making it an increasingly popular choice for companies committed to sustainability.
