The growing trend of the use of eco-friendly and sustainable
materials has changed the scenario of packaging industry entirely. Recent
studies have shown that static packaging can be dangerous not only for the food
and electronic products but they can also put your brand reputation at stake. Thus,
even if product safety is not an issue, you are not going to get branding
advantage if you are using static packaging options for product packaging.
While packaging food items, you are going to have to deal
with the food particles which dislodge themselves from the foods and cause
problems in the packaging. Sugar and flour particles can cause a static charge
and they have a capability not only to ignite but passing this ignition to the
nearby particles. And the static packaging can provide those particles with an
opportunity to take fire. As a result, your entire packaging mechanism gets exposed
to a risk of explosion.
Anti-static films
When you are packaging baked goods, you have to keep in mind
that the things can get dusty in no time. Particles of sugar, flour and grains
can cause an unattractive look of the final packaged product. However, you can
prevent the packages getting unattractive by using anti-static films. The
biggest benefit of these films is that they do not attract the food particles.
This way, your final product will remain visually appealing, giving you a huge
branding advantage.
Anti-static bulk packaging
Since these particles have the serious ability to catch
fire, you need to make sure that these particles are kept away from the
products while they are being packaged. It is worth mentioning here that only 1
– 2 grams of particles per cubic meter are required to catch fire. And since
these particles can pass ignition to the other nearby particles, the
environment becomes quite dangerous not only for the packaging setup but also
for the people dealing with the packaging process.
The easy solution to this issue is to use anti-static
packaging. And if you are packaging items in a bulk, you can go for the
anti-static bulk packaging option. In order to reduce the charging of sugar and
flour particles, you can talk to your packaging supplier.
