Press Release Body: It's always advisable to try different styles and testing out

that your packaging contains all the features that you need.
The best catalog descriptions in the world are no substitute for testing out the
product. You can test your products using varying thicknesses of plastic corrugated.
There is a wide variety of plastic corrugated thicknesses to choose from, ranging
from 2mm to 13mm. you can save money by using thinner material. Because of advances
in film structure the strength of the plastic can be increased while reducing the
thickness.

You can check to see if your supplier has sheets of stock material available which
can be used in the production of your packaging. This will result in a quicker lead
time and will save your costs.

You can consider using custom run sheet sizes, instead of using a stock sheet of
plastic corrugated which is then die cut to your container size. Custom run sheet
sizes will be more efficient for your supplier to run which will result in a lower
price per container.

Applying a printed label instead of direct printing on plastic corrugated will cost
less, last longer, and look just as nice. You can evaluate the cost of running a
small production run using sample making equipment. This will save you time and
money. Having plastic corrugated dividers rod locked saves money. This is so because
dividers made this way are more stable and last longer. They don't come apart, which
happens so often with paper corrugated partitions.

Plastic corrugated is generally non abrasive but there are some products that are
susceptible to scratching. So it's prudent to test plastic corrugated against your
product to make sure it doesn't scratch.

It's preferable to use plastic corrugated lined with a non abrasive coating to
protect products from being scratched. This saves money by not having to replace
products that arrive in unacceptable condition.
