Clear Plastic Shipping Tray

Two-tier Thermoformed Shipping Tray Protects Valuable Unit

When a new GPS system for the agricultural industry was ready for market, the expensive item demanded shipping protection. A corrugated box had already been developed, but it was insufficient to protect the costly components. VisiPak was called in and soon developed a plastic shipping tray, designed to protect the multiple componets of this new device. Not only did the packaging engineers meet the product demands, they stepped into the future based on considerations for how quickly technology changes and devised a clear plastic tray with an interchangeable mold base.

After studying the GPS components, VisiPak package design engineers concluded that a two-tier plastic shipping tray would best accommodate the system. One part of the clear plastic tray would hold the screen, while the second clear plastic tray, the tray made from the interchangeable mold base, would contain the various other components. The two plastic shipping trays would then stack and slide into the corrugated box, securing all contents. Also featured in the design of the plastic shipping trays is the contour or scoop allowing for a handle of the outer box.

Going above and beyond, the packaging engineers created plastic tray packaging with a perception of advancements in technology in mind. This service may save up to 1/3 of future tooling costs when packaging adjustments are required.
