Going green is a hot topic right now. The truth is, going green is better for people’s health and the environment. One has only to look at a landfill and know that if something is not done there will soon be no place left for man or animal to reside.

Going green for companies is not as hard or expensive as was once thought. For instance, companies can actually cut costs by recycling their packaging materials. They can also purchase recycled packaging material from suppliers that already use green packaging materials.

Using recycled packaging peanuts is another way companies can go green and cut costs. There are suppliers out there that offer these packaging peanuts to companies and even will take the peanuts back. Reducing the waste of packaging while preserving the environment is the goal for going green.

Companies can also use biodegradable packaging materials. These products use two nutrients, technical and biodegradable. The technical nutrient can be reused, while the biodegradable one goes back into the earth without harming it. This is a good way for a company to lower their cost of packaging and helps reduce the need for landfills.

Using synthetic biodegradable materials is another green packaging solution. They resist moisture and degrade in twelve weeks. This process is more expensive and not readily available.

Use materials made from plants, like corn. The packaging can be reused or composted. It can also be safely burned without environmental harm. A company can use the Internet to search for suppliers of green packaging products.

Recycled boxes, air pillows made of recycled materials, there are all kinds of recyclable packaging materials for a company to choose from for changing over to green packaging products. Going green helps ensure that the earth’s resources will be around longer for both man and animal to enjoy.

In recent years American manufacturing companies have been declining. Shops all over America were closing their doors and moving out of the country. Job losses were staggering. Unemployment skyrocketed. For what seemed an eternity….the economic outlook was bleak.

Today the economic picture is slowly beginning to change. Unemployment is still high, but starting to drop. Consumers in America are slowly starting to open their wallets and starting to spend. Business is moving back to America and bringing hope to millions of Americans.

American Manufacturing Making a Comeback!

Businesses that relocated to the Far East are starting to realize that they have more to be concerned about than labor costs. With the unrest in the Far East, supplies and workmanship are failing more and more. Infringement of intellectual property is another problem listed as a reason companies are again turning closer to home for product manufacturing.

There are of course, companies that have never left in the first place. They held their ground through the bad and the worst of it. They are still here plugging away and treading water. Some are even making a modest profit.

One such company is Insulated Packaging Systems. They are a Florida based company that is family owned and operated. They have been in business for thirty years and make quality foam packaging materials to sell to individuals and other companies. For more information on this local company please go to Insulated Packaging Systems.

Other examples of American based companies that are still here and operating are Harley-Davidson and Bobcat. American workers are higher paid, yes, but they also turn out a high quality product.

This is what it is all about. Cheaply made products don’t last. In today’s economy consumers want what they buy to last longer than a few months. American made has become a battle cry and companies are finally listening.

It happens every year. Gifts are bought that need to be shipped. A person finds the right sized box but still needs to protect the contents from breaking. A solution to the problem is packaging foam insulation.

This foam is lightweight yet it protects like it is made of steel. It cushions the gift and keeps it from getting chipped or broken. It comes in sheets that can be snapped into smaller pieces. It can also come in the form of peanuts (packaging peanuts). The foam is made from polystyrene and has lots of uses. Foam insulation provides maximum protection for whatever has been packed in it. Foam protects against moisture and temperature changes. It keeps the shipped contents from being scratched or broken.

Holiday Custom Packaging Solutions

Custom packing using foam will allow a person to stack packages without damage to either package. It is economical and reusable. There is also expanding foam packaging insulation that a person can use for gift shipping.  A person just unrolls the sealed foam insert and with a little poking and prodding it starts to expand around the item to be shipped. If a top layer is needed, the steps are repeated.  The item is encased in foam and completely secured against damage from being handled and switched from one shipping company to the next on the trip to its  final destination.

A person puts a lot of thought into the gift they are buying. They have acquired the perfect item for their loved one after much searching. Why would they not put just as much thought into how to get it to them undamaged?

Holiday custom packaging with foam makes good sense. It protects the gift and helps to ensure it arrives in one piece. Try foam packaging insulation. It will keep that gift in the same shape it was bought in.

Struggling to find a quality foam packaging company? Not sure what foam packaging material is right for your product? Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) may be your solution. Insulated Packaging Systems provides FREE custom quotes!

EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE may be the product that suits the needs of your product packaging. EPS is usually white and comprised of expanded polystyrene beads.  Packing peanuts is one familiar form of EPS use and molded packing material for fragile items inside boxes that require ‘extra’ cushioning.

Expanded Polystyrene

Where space is an issue, and you need to pack great insulating capacity into a small place, EPS can be custom cut to your desired requirements.  Home insulation foam, rigid panels, such as EPS or ‘beadboard,’ can be utilized against footings and exterior foundation walls, inside unfinished interior walls as panels or custom cut to fit inside walls and secured places.

EPS molded foam packaging provides a no-mess, secure fit. Its firm, unyielding structure will prevent unsafe shifting during product shipment. Offering minimal compressibility, EPS foam packaging can withstand repeated handling and meets the high standard of durability!

EPS foam packaging is also highly resistant to heat flow. Products that tend to be temperature sensitive, such as pharmaceuticals, perishable products and electronic components are best packaged utilizing the EPS insulation process. Keeping product weight in check and under control is always a concern.  Expanded polystyrene’s lightweight characteristics and cushioning properties lend itself well to the most delicate items.  For critical applications, EPS is treated for additional anti-static protection.

Our goal is to ensure that when your product arrives at its respected destination, it will be intact and ready for use, arriving in ONE piece!

Home Insulation Foam

Insulating your home and garage is also better for the environment. You won’t need to run your heater or your air conditioner for extended periods of time because the rigid foam insulation maintains the inside temperature more efficiently.

If you live in a humid climate, using foam insulation also reduces condensation in your home which can reduce the chance of growing hazardous mold in your walls. Keeping your home insulated will protect your family’s health and keep them comfortable. The cost savings will keep you comfortable too.

Computer components are very sensitive and expensive and are often small pieces to ship. Anti-static shipping material is essential to ensuring that your components are fully functional when you get them installed. We live in a plug and play world; you buy a circuit board for your server and you expect it to arrive properly packed so you can keep your business up and running.

High quality anti-static packing can make all the difference to your client’s mission-critical applications. Providing professionally packaged goods ensures your circuit boards arrive ready to go. Custom-made anti-static packaging designed to fit your components is the best bet. One size does not fit all. It’s not environmentally friendly to ship a small component in a package that is too large, not to mention the damage that can happen when components are improperly packaged.

Professionally-designed and custom-manufactured foam packaging and anti-static wrapping tells your customers that their mission critical components are the most important thing to your business as well as theirs.

Custom Made Foam Packaging

Being the caring customer service representative, you immediately offer to replace the damaged goods and rush it out to the customer. You also send the customer a new shipping container and label for them to ship the broken item back to you.

Choosing a custom-designed packaging solution from a quality foam manufacturer ensures that your customers receive their orders as expected. You will have happy customers who call you again and refer you to their friends. You will have employees who can devote their attention to providing quality customer service. You will have a business that can continue to move forward and not waste time on fixing the errors of the past.
