Kaysersberg Plastics, part of DS Smith Plastics, will show two new packaging solutions for the first time at Interpack 2005. Of particular interest to electronics manufacturers, will be the new line of ESD safe, returnable packaging - Volume efficient, made to measure boxes, made from Akyelec, an extruded, lightweight conductive polypropylene sheet material. The material is produced in both conductive and static dissipative grades and can be engineered to meet customers specific conductivity requirements. Akyelec boxes are ideal for the storage and transport of assemblies, sub assemblies, chassis parts and even complete products. They can be supplied complete with fittings, manufactured in Akyelec or from foam materials with the same electrical properties. Being fibre free, they are also suitable for use in clean room environments and enable users to bring secondary packaging into ESD sensitive areas. Uni-Pak is now available with fixed return collars that turn the pallet base, lid and sleeve system into a self-contained unit for economical and efficient empty transit and storage. The sleeve and internal fittings can be now be folded down and locked within the dimensions of the dismantled Uni-Pak. The new, durable, twin sheet thermoformed return collars are currently available to fit all full size Unipaks, from 1200 x 800 up to 1600 x 1200mm, and are made in two heights, providing 125mm and 365mm ullage between deck and lid. The smaller collar is said to be ideal for unitising the sleeve, base-board and several layer boards whereas the taller collar is designed to accommodate larger and more complex demountable internal fittings and dunnage. When consolidated, the two packs are 260mm and 500mm in height respectively, enabling many users to more than double the number of empty units that will fit into a return load, improving overall operational efficiency. The Company will also feature a wide selection of plastic packaging, including pallets, small load carriers, small load containers, unit load containers, layer pads and internal fittings, each designed individually to offer optimum protection while generating cost savings for the user.
