And with a high value, there are high stakes in each shipment of electronics products. Every product requires careful attention towards humidity control to ensure that these fragile products are delivered safely. Traditionally, moisture protection has been inside the product packaging using an in-box desiccant, often silica gel. But there is a much more sustainable and cost-efficient way of protecting both products and packaging. Common products Household appliances, laptops, printers, TVs, smartphones, etc. Common damages and problems Corrosion Damaged packaging Collapsed packaging Peeling labels Exposure to moisture that may impact the packaging quality Corrosion on metal parts Our solutions It is essential to make sure unnecessary moisture is not added during packing and loading. This is preferably achieved by reviewing packing/loading using our POMM process. Pouches are suitable to protect inside packaging where the moisture comes from the goods packed, but that is not the case with electronics products. Therefore, to protect against moisture in the container, container desiccants should be used as they eliminate the need for in-box protection. We recommend AbsorGel® Blanket or Sheet container desiccant, which has a low carbon footprint and is easy to install.
