Advances in packaging materials bring us another innovation from Inviker’s new range of industrial packaging. Aluminium with woven fabric ensures maximum protection and adaptability. With standout properties like high mechanical strength and effective barrier against moisture and light, this packaging is ideal for industries requiring maximum security for their products during transport and storage.
Join us as we explore the numerous benefits and applications of aluminium with woven fabric in the industry.
7 benefits of aluminium with woven fabric
Aluminium barrier film with woven fabric is an advanced industrial packaging solution that combines an outer layer of aluminium with a reinforcement layer of polyethylene (PE) woven fabric. This unique combination offers multiple benefits in protecting industrial products.
- Efficient barrier: provides total protection against moisture and light, preventing product deterioration and oxidation.
- Mechanical strength: the addition of woven fabric layer imparts exceptional tear and puncture resistance, ensuring product integrity even under rigorous handling and transport conditions.
- Thermal properties: the combination of aluminium and PE woven fabric offers a certain degree of thermal protection, helping to maintain specific temperatures. This is particularly beneficial for temperature-sensitive products during storage and transport.
- Chemical resistance: this packaging is highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals, making it ideal for the storage and transport of chemical substances and other potentially corrosive materials.
- Versatility: it perfectly adapts to products of various sizes and shapes, including large machinery and irregularly shaped items.
- Lightness and handling: despite its robustness, the material is surprisingly lightweight, making it easy to handle and reducing transport costs.
- Recyclability: both aluminium and polyethylene woven fabric are recyclable materials. This feature contributes to environmental sustainability, allowing the packaging to be reused in the manufacture of new products, thus reducing environmental impact.
Ideal applications
Aluminium with PE woven fabric is ideal for packaging high-value products, especially those with irregular shapes and large sizes. Its ability to provide comprehensive protection makes it perfect for sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery.
Examples of use cases:
Automotive
Protection of critical components such as engines and electronic parts during international transport.
Aerospace
Packaging of structural parts and delicate components that require robust protection against corrosion and light.
Heavy machinery
Wrapping large machinery for export, ensuring they arrive at their destination undamaged.
Chemical industry
Packaging of sensitive chemicals that require robust protection against external contaminants.
In the next section, we will compare two of Inviker’s aluminium packaging solutions to help you determine which is the best option for your specific business needs.
Product comparison: which to choose?
Choosing the right packaging depends on the specific needs of your product and the conditions it will be exposed to during transport and storage.
In the previous blog entry, we explored the benefits of aluminium, and in the preceding section, we reviewed the characteristics of aluminium with raffia. Now, which of these materials is the most suitable for protecting your products?
Below, we present a comparative table of the key characteristics of aluminium barrier film and aluminium with woven fabric to help you make an informed decision.
| Feature | Aluminium barrier film | Aluminium with woven fabric |
|---|---|---|
| Moisture protection | Total | Total |
| Light protection | Total | Total |
| Mechanical strength | high | Very high (due to woven fabric reinforcement) |
| Chemical resistance | Very high | Very high |
| Weight | Very light | Light |
| Heat-sealable | Yes | Yes |
| Adaptability | High, ideal for various sizes and shapes | High, ideal for irregular and large shapes |
| Application | Export, maritime transport, chemical industry | Export of heavy machinery, components, maritime transport |
| Format options | Rolls, pre-cut sheets, covers, customised bags | Rolls, pre-cut sheets, covers, customised bags |
| Recyclable | Yes | Yes |
Several factors should be considered and thoroughly analysed when selecting the most suitable packaging for safeguarding your products.
- Type of product: if the product is particularly large or has an irregular shape, reinforced barrier aluminium foil may be the best option due to its superior mechanical strength.
- Transport conditions: for extreme conditions, such as maritime transport, both materials offer exceptional protection against moisture and other contaminants.
- Budget: both options are moderately priced, but consider the added value of the extra resistance provided by aluminium with woven fabric if your product requires particularly robust protection.
Both aluminium barrier film and aluminium with woven fabric are exceptional products that ensure maximum protection for your products during transport and storage.
The choice between aluminium barrier film and aluminium with woven fabric depends on several key factors such as the type of product, transport conditions, and budget. While both offer superior protection against moisture and light, aluminium with woven fabric stands out for its mechanical strength and adaptability to irregular shapes and large dimensions, making it ideal for sectors such as automotive and aerospace.
Furthermore, sustainability is a relevant aspect, as both materials are recyclable. Considering these aspects can optimise the packaging choice according to the specific needs of each industry.
