The goal of export packaging is to ensure your valuable goods arrive at the end user, defect free and in factory condition. Mainly used a shipping method to get goods to clients overseas it is often referred to as transport packaging or freight packaging. Usually this method brings together different export packaging materials to form both different layers of protection and to the meet the strict requirements for this type of shipping. This is the external layer designed to offer protection from environmental hazards and rough handling that often occur in the supply chain. This protection comes in the form of wooden crates and boxes, metal drums, foil bags, shrink wrap, To provide a deterrent to bad handling clients may opt for additional protection with consumables like Shockwatch and Tiltwatch labels. These can be attached to the outer layer of the shipment. Providing maximum visual presence to whoever is handling them.

Stand up Pouches are available to your size and specification. Either from one of our aluminum barrier laminate foils or our market leading VCI packaging formula, for optimal corrosion protection. At Valdamark we have an appreciation for the important role of packaging in the modern supply chain. Important products need a suitable packaging solution. We are more than happy to assist in the development of a new design. Stand Up Pouches are constructed from two flat webs. A fold is created on both left and right sides which eventually forms the gusset feature of the bag. It disappears into the bag making this design excellent for filling applications. The folds make this design flexible and easy to store, whilst still retaining a large volume for filling. Get in touch to review your requirements.

The tough construction of this aluminium foil gives it the edge over thinner commercial grades. The combination of complementary materials in this laminate result in a barrier that is able to resist chemical and physical stresses. The tear and breaking strength is the highest in our range. Still it retains the very low water vapour transmission rate of 0.3g/m2 per 24 hours. This is one of a list of impressive characteristics seen on the data sheet of this material. The high performance nature of this export packaging extends to the inclusion of Valcross® in the laminate. This gives optimal strength whilst retaining excellent flexibility. This barrier foil is available in several different widths supplied in a 200mtr log packaging roll. The user can cut to the desired dimensions allowing the component to be heat sealed and vacuum packed for for it’s journey. Using MIL PRF 131 Barrier Foil This type of Aluminium foil is ideal for use in heavy machinery transport/storage projects.

The goal of export packaging is to ensure your valuable goods arrive at the end user, defect free and in factory condition. Storage packaging tends to focus more on the preservation of the product inside. The may be hermetically sealed foil bags to ensure the shelf life of the products.

Designed to fit into most foiling units, the Foilring foiling system utilises an aluminium mandrel which is considerably lighter than both brass and magnetic foiling dies making them easy to handle and reducing freight costs. Unlike other hot foiling systems that require a dedicated mandrel for each repeat length, a single Foilring mandrel can cover a 5” repeat range (19” – 24” for example). End adaptors in mandrels for oil heated foiling units remain in place at all times reducing set up time for press operators. Rings or sleeves are produced just wide enough to accommodate the engraved images significantly reducing costs. Foilring hot foiling rings and sleeves are precision engraved to depth of 1.00mm (or more if required) and have exactly the same accuracy as engraved brass hot foiling dies. For customers that require bearers, Foilring mandrels are supplied with bearers that are located at the edge of the cylinder. ** Click to know more **
