Nelipak designs and produces thermoformed handling trays for the storage and handling of a wide range of products. Typical examples are the transport of car engines and shock absorbers, or the packaging of inhalers, syringes and lenses. Trays are also widely used in robotic transport and assembly systems. They are normally used several times, though occasionally only once. Trays generally have special cavities to position products for automatic filling, counting and stacking or to protect the products. These trays are also used as counting units. Trays fit perfectly into modular processes. Opting for trays can improve the efficiency of storage and handling, thus cutting logistics and storage costs and reducing transport damage.
Nelipak supplies trays to industrial customers such as automotive manufacturers and aluminium foundries, but also to medical and pharmaceutics companies. Trays may be rigid or flexible and can be supplied in any size, even as large as a pallet. Small, thin-walled trays are used for the storage of small, fragile components, which need to be protected against dust. Nelipak can also produce handling trays in a clean room environment.
This ensures their cleanliness and they can be used in medical and other manufacturing operations. Trays are also useful for shipping delicate electronics components.
Where necessary, antistatic or conductive film can be used. Trays can be fitted with lids or other features to facilitate handling.
Nelipak designs transport and assembly trays for any industry, which is looking to:
- Transport products without damage.
- Automation.
- Visual identification of the packaging contents.
- Optimising working procedures.
- Increasing packing density.
