CJ Logistics announced on the 11th that it has developed a product-fixing type package that reduces the risk of damage without using cushioning materials and has filed a patent for it.
Parcel packaging often leaves empty spaces after placing products in standardized boxes. Cushioning materials are used to fix this, but this time, a new method utilizing retention packaging was introduced. This is a packaging technique that fixes the product to minimize movement, mainly using a film adhered to a corrugated pad.
Previously, adhesive was used to attach the film and pad, but it was vulnerable to impact and difficult to separate and dispose of after use. The newly introduced method consists of a three-layer corrugated panel and stretch film without adhesive. The film is sandwiched between the corrugated panels instead of being glued. Legs are designed on both wings of the panel, creating space underneath when assembled, which protects against external shocks.
Compared to cushioning-based packaging, the company explained that the risk of product damage was reduced to about one-third. This method passed the nationally certified test KS T 5055 for parcel packaging stability. The company emphasized that stability was confirmed through multiple tests and actual deliveries. Another advantage is that the cost can be reduced by about half compared to existing retention packaging.
Kim Jeong-hee, head of the TES Logistics Technology Research Institute at CJ Logistics, said, "As a technology that changes the paradigm of parcel packaging, we will continue to realize customer satisfaction while minimizing environmental impact."
