emballasjetype

Emballasjetype is a term used in packaging and logistics to describe a particular configuration of packaging designed to contain, protect, and transport goods. It encompasses the material, construction, dimensions, and intended handling of the packaging, and is used to distinguish options within a product’s supply chain for costing, compliance, and sustainability assessments.

Classification: Emballasjetype categories are usually defined by material (plastic, paper, glass, metal, wood, or composites), by function (primary, secondary, or tertiary packaging), and by physical properties (rigid vs flexible, barrier performance, and tamper evidence). Environmental considerations, such as recyclability and compostability, are increasingly integrated into emballasjetype specifications. Dimensions, weight, and performance metrics like drop resistance and stack strength help determine suitability for a given product and transport mode.

Design considerations and standards: The choice of emballasjetype is guided by product protection needs, regulatory requirements, and logistical constraints. Designers emphasize secure closure, ease of use, and end‑of‑life disposal. Many industries follow standards from organizations such as ISO, ASTM, or regional regulators to benchmark packaging performance and labeling.

Applications and trends: Common examples include primary packaging (bottles, cans, blister packs), secondary packaging (cartons, trays), and tertiary packaging (pallets, wrap systems). Current trends focus on lightweighting, material reduction, recyclability, and the adoption of reusable packaging in closed-loop supply chains, balancing protection, cost, and customer experience.
