Reducing Breakages with Expanded Polystyrene

 There are lots of reasons why you might want to use polystyrene. However one reason is perhaps more important than any other, and that is to protect and preserve items that are in transit. This article explains more.

One way it is commonly used is to protect all manner of different things that need to be transported from one place to another. For example imagine a glass ornament that needs to be sent out to customers around the country (and possibly worldwide too). Would you trust a padded bag to get it to its destination safely? The chances of it surviving in this state for very long would be minimal.

This is why polystyrene is used in this form, to be packed around the item to ensure it can make it from one place to another with no damage. The polystyrene protects the item in transit so even if it is dropped it will not be damaged in any way.

As you can imagine, we would have to think about packaging and transport in a very different way if this product wasn’t available. Even though it is difficult to imagine just how different things would be, it is clear that breakages would be more prevalent than they are at present. Every breakage represents a loss to the company that foots the bill for it, so it makes sense to ensure there are as few as possible.

Packaging may not seem to be the most important factor when it comes to products. But as you can see, nothing could be further from the truth. In reality the packaging is the most important part.
