Many manufacturers design and build products and devices that need protection. In order to understand how manufacturers protect their products, we surveyed designers, engineers, managers and specialists from various industries.
Many manufacturers design and build products and devices that need protection. This can be accomplished by controlling the environment inside products as well as the containers used for storage, shipping and handling. Scientific instruments, optical devices, pharmaceuticals and military hardware are just a few examples of many products that must be protected from environmental extremes such as high humidity, vibration, pressure, shock or temperature.
How are products packaged and shipped? What risks do these products experience? Do companies monitor the internal environment of their packages? Are companies realizing cost savings after implementing controlled environments involving sealed containers and enclosures?
In order to understand how manufacturers protect their products, we surveyed designers, engineers, managers, educators and specialists from various industries.
In this report, you will learn:
- What are current packaging and shipping trends
- Whether manufacturers typically design containers in-house
- How often products are insured against damage during transit
- Personnel involved in researching shipping and storage environments
- Customers’ perceptions of controlled containers
