It’s not only the product that’s at risk. Branded boxes, certification labels, and shelf presentation all play a role in product acceptance and perceived quality. In this segment, small issues lead to big losses: delays, rework, returns, and customer complaints. Absortech helps brands and suppliers prevent moisture-related problems at the container level — where condensation often starts, and where standard in-box solutions simply don’t reach. Common products Machined parts, industrial tools, mechanical components, spare parts kits, electronics-integrated hardware, branded OEM accessories Common damages and problems Corrosion on metal surfaces Mould and mildew Peeling or illegible labels Damp or collapsed cartons Discoloration of finishes Unpleasant or musty smell Our solutions In this industry, products are often packed with care: polybags, VCI film, oil coatings, or silica pouches. But these only protect inside the box. The outer packaging — often branded and shelf-ready — is still exposed to container-level humidity, especially during ocean freight or long warehousing periods. Corrosion, label damage, or carton collapse may not ruin the product itself, but they undermine perceived quality and slow down the supply chain through manual inspections, reconditioning, or repacking AbsorGel® container desiccants control the environment throughout the shipment — reducing the risk of condensation before it starts and ensuring that both the product and its presentation arrive as intended. We recommend AbsorGel® Blanket or Sheet, tailored via POMM™ to each route, climate, and packaging setup.
