Electrostatic Discharge, or ESD, can be devastating in packaging and shipping. This issue is no more prevalent than in the world of electronics and flammables, where items are incredibly sensitive to static shock. In fact, experts estimate the global cost of ESD damage to be around $5 billion per year.

Unfortunately, a common culprit for this is none other than the packaging. When you unwind a roll of packing tape or place two stretch-wrapped pallets too close to each other, the surface friction can build static electricity; your packaging can end up harming your goods instead of protecting them!

Fortunately, there is a solution: anti-static packaging. Materials like anti-static stretch wrap are specially manufactured and chemically treated to resist ESD. In this shocking article, we will cover how electrostatic discharge works and how anti-static stretch

What is Health Care Packaging?

Health Care Packaging encompasses a variety of bags and containers that are specially made to handle and transport biohazardous substances. These packaging materials are manufactured in compliance with international rules and regulations concerning the shipping and storage of substances that pose a risk to health, safety, and the environment. The bags often feature a warning symbol and message to inform workers and keep trespassers away. The polyethylene (PE) used to make these materials is certified by both the CDC and OSHA for safe handling and performance.
