Reduce cost and packing time with consistently high corrosion protection
A leading global manufacturer of forming machine technology, were looking to develop exportable corrosion protection packaging that was cheaper and easier to manage.

Reduce cost and packing time
The client's challenge
The existing packaging was traditional complex machine packaging for sea transport consisting of aluminium composite film in combination with desiccant. There was a need for it to be replaced by a simpler, cheaper but still effective and safe solution, it had to be suitable for sea transport to Asia.
The Antalis solution
A VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors) packaging solution consisting of VCI film and additional VCI deposits in the form of VCI paper, and VCI chips placed above and inside the machine were proven to be the optimum choice.
The outer packaging does not need to be heat-sealed, significantly reducing packing time and costs. This method ensures the corrosion protection for sea shipment is not compromised, and continues to hold even if the outer packaging is slightly damaged. Any opening of the packaging for a short time (e.g. by customs officers) is therefore unproblematic as once resealed the corrosion protection builds up again.
The process
- Development of the Customer Pain Points and evaluation of the existing packaging in an initial conversation with the customer
- Checking the functionality of the system using a test shipment to Asia by sea freight
- Development of an optimised corrosion protection packaging by product management
Advantages
COST-EFFICIENT
With unchanged corrosion protection during sea shipping, both packaging time and costs are reduced.
TIME SAVING
The metal parts do not need to be greased or de-oiled and are ready for immediate use.
SECURE
Even with minor damage to the packaging or brief opening by customs, secure corrosion protection is guaranteed.
