Looking out the window at the snow today got us thinking.
Did you know that cold temperatures can affect the performance of your packaging?
Storing your packaging in a cold or damp environment can influence its quality over time and can stop certain packaging materials working as efficiently as possible!
So, which of your packaging materials could be affected?
Labels and tape
Corrugated packaging
Cold temperatures can degrade the strength of your cardboard boxes and other corrugated materials. Plus, if youre using any boxes that are held together with glue, they could fall apart.
Damp conditions can also affect material quality and deteriorate the cardboard over time. If you want to avoid this, make sure you you keep your packaging storage space is temperature regulated and dry. Alternatively, you could take advantage of a stock holding service, like the one we offer. Click here to learn more.
Foams and plastics
If you use any foams made from polyethylene, it can lose its flexibility in extreme cold and may not offer optimal protection. Polypropylene based materials can also become brittle.
