About Packaging Containers

Packaging containers are used within the packaging process to store and ship products. They differ in terms of features and applications. Most packaging containers are made of paper, plastic, metal, wood or composite materials. Paper and cardboard packaging containers are made of wood pulp and vary in terms of thickness. Plastic packaging containers are made of thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), foam, and Styrofoam (Dow Chemical). Packaging containers made of acrylics and acrylic sheets are also available. Metal packaging containers are made of aluminum, steel, stainless steel, or steel wire. Containers made with metalized film use a plastic film that has been coated on one side with a very thin layer of metal. Choices for composite materials include both fiberglass and fiberglass fabrics. Packaging containers that are made from cotton, canvas, and synthetic fabrics are also available.
