When it comes to shipping paint products, ensuring each container arrives in tip-top condition is crucial. Paint tins can be prone to leaks, spills, and unsightly dents without proper packaging. Whether you're sending paint products to customers or moving your supplies, reliable packaging solutions are essential to keep everything shipshape. Let's jump into some handy tips for choosing robust packaging that'll keep your paint containers secure and help them arrive looking their best.
Top Tips for Choosing the Right Packaging for Paint Tins
Go for Custom-Fit Inserts
Paint cans need specialised packaging to protect them from spills and jostling about during transit. Inserts like the PaintGuard™ Pulp Fitments are designed to keep paint tins snug as a bug, reducing the risk of movement within the box. They come in various sizes to fit different can capacities, offering sturdy support that helps minimise impact during transit.
Pick Packaging Sized for Your Paint Containers
Choosing the right-sized box for your paint tins is key to reducing internal movements inside the boxes and the tin or tub becoming damaged. PaintGuard™ Cartons come in multiple sizes, tailored to fit and hold paint tins securely. By using cartons that match the dimensions of your paint tins, you can avoid unnecessary space in the box, which helps reduce movement and absorbs any impacts during transit.
Secure Smaller Paint Tins with Precision Fitments
For those smaller paint containers, like 750ml or 1L tins, use appropriately sized inserts to ensure a snug fit. The PaintGuard™ 750ml and 1L Pulp Fitments are specifically designed for these sizes, providing essential stability during transit. Switching to using fitments tailored to these smaller tins/tubs can ensure that each tin is protected against tilting or rolling. PaintGuard™ is also available in 2.5L and 5L versions for larger capacity containers.
Opt for Recycled and Eco-Friendly Packaging
Sustainable packaging is a responsible choice for today's environmentally conscious businesses. Allpack's PaintGuard™ products are made from 100% recycled materials, offering an eco-friendly solution that doesn't skimp on durability. In opting for products like pulp fitments, you can protect your items while doing your bit for a greener future.
Add Void Fill to Increase Protection and Cushioning
Using void fill provides an extra layer of security for paint tins, especially during long-distance transit. Fill any remaining space in the box with void fill materials to prevent unnecessary movement. We offer a variety of sustainable void fill solutions, from paper to biofil options, depending on the level of cushioning required, which are effective for securing products while supporting your sustainability goals.
