Improve Your Automotive Packaging Protection Efficiency!

February 10, 2023

Auto part suppliers do not want to be slowed down in the packaging process—or any other process for that matter. They need to manufacture, pack, and ship countless gears, discs, or transmission components rust-free as efficiently as possible. In answer to this need, Cortec’s VpCI®-126 Gusseted Bags make a great foundation to a fast and effective protective packaging system for the auto industry.

The VpCI® Film Foundation
Bulk auto parts are often packed in large returnable totes. Individually bagging each gear or component is out of the question. Instead, the majority of automotive VpCI® Film users line these totes with a large corrosion inhibiting VpCI®-126 Gusseted Bag and place the parts inside, adding VpCI® Film, Paper, or Emitters for a secondary source of protection.

BioPad® for High VpCI® Concentration
The BioPad® is a great VpCI® Emitter to use in conjunction with VpCI® bags when plastic trays are used to divide layers of parts. Each BioPad® offers a high concentration of Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors that diffuse between the parts and form a protective molecular layer on metal surfaces within the package. A bonus “green” feature is that BioPad® contains 58% USDA certified biobased content.
VpCI® Film or Paper Liners
Another option is to line trays or dividers with sheets of VpCI®-126 Film or CorShield® VpCI®- 146 Paper. This is especially important when dividers are made of corrugated cardboard, which (according to VpCI® packaging best practices) should not be in direct contact with the metal parts. Like the BioPad®, these VpCI® Film and VpCI® Paper sheets emit corrosion inhibiting vapors to provide corrosion protection throughout the bulk of the package. For those seeking to use more renewable content, CorShield® VpCI®-146 Paper is a USDA Certified Biobased Product.

From Best Practices to Better Efficiency
Every year, the auto industry makes millions of parts that need corrosion protection. For many, lining bins of bulk auto parts with VpCI®-126 Gusseted Bags and adding VpCI® Emitters, Film, or Paper has become an industry best practice. Sometimes, these solutions are combined with automated machinery that stacks parts or cuts paper for even greater efficiency. Contact us today to start improving your automotive packaging strategy!
