Types of nylon packaging

These products have 5 different types, each of which has its own dimensions, thickness, characteristics and applications.

1. Nylon shearing

Shirings are widely used in the packaging of different materials and they have single-layer and multi-layer types, the multi-layer type has more weight bearing capacity. The most famous example of nylon shearing is the packaging of soft drinks, which are held together in sets of 6 and 12 by nylon shearing.

These nylons have very good strength. They are gathered by heat and after cooling they wrap well around the desired product. Another feature of these products is the possibility of printing any desired text on them.

2. Nylon pallet band or stretch

Nylon pallet strap or stretch is the best product for packing items with large dimensions. If you look at the seats of cars with zero kilometers or newly purchased furniture, you will notice that there is nylon around them, which is stretch nylon.

This nylon prevents the accumulation of dust and static electricity with its antistatic property. Therefore, you can be sure that your product will remain clean for a long time. These products have different applications and they can even be used in the agricultural industry and for packing large items.

3. Nylon food packaging

This category is a special type of plastic that is used only for food packaging. Since the health institutions have a very strict supervision of the production process and also the type of raw materials used, food grade raw materials are used to make these nylons. Because the most important thing about food nylon is their hygiene.

These nylons are commonly known as cellophane and can be said to be in everyone’s home. The thickness of cellophane is less compared to other types of nylons, and it also has a special adhesive property that helps to pack food more easily and cleanly. Also, by preventing air contact with food, cellophane applies its protective effect on food and keeps it fresh.

4. Bubble nylon

Bubble plastics are products that have air capsules on their surface and create a soft space for goods. They are considered the best option for packing sensitive goods such as computer kits and parts and breakable items. Bubble plastic is produced in different sizes and protects the equipment well from environmental impacts.

5. Cucumber packing nylon

It is interesting to know that initially these nylons were used only for packing cucumbers in order to keep them fresh, but gradually they were used for packing other fruits and vegetables and today they are widely used. These nylons both protect the fruits from rotting and in case one of the fruits rots, they prevent the damage from being transmitted to other fruits.

Applications of nylon packaging and factors affecting its price

The price of nylon packaging depends on various factors. The size of nylon, printing or not printing writings on it, thickness, type of nylon, quality of raw materials, type of raw materials, overall quality of nylon and the amount of custom additives desired by the customer are among the factors that affect the final price of these products.

In addition to the cases mentioned so far, these nylons have other uses in various cases, such as:

• Prevent dust from settling on goods and objects
• As a liner inside the barrels containing glue and concentrate
• Packaging of dried fruits such as sugar, pistachios, raisins and tea
• Preventing leakage of materials in sacks containing powders such as chemical fertilizers and petrochemical products

Where are the most uses of nylon packaging?

Most of the uses of nylon packaging around the world are used in the following sectors:

1. Food industry: food packaging, including fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, dairy products, and ready-to-eat products, has a high consumption of nylon. Due to the need to maintain freshness, prevent contact with air, and protect antioxidants and preservatives, these foods are often placed in nylon packaging.

2. Pharmaceutical industry: Pharmaceutical products also use nylon packaging due to the need to maintain quality, shelf life and prevent bacterial and air pollution. Tablets, capsules, drops and other products are placed in nylon packaging in this industry.

3. Cosmetics industry: Skin care products, cosmetics such as creams, shampoos, lotions and perfumes are also widely marketed in nylon packaging

4. Home appliance industry: Items such as electrical appliance packaging, small household appliances such as wet wipes, cleaning containers and trash cans also use nylon for packaging.

5. Garment industry: In some cases, packaging of clothes, bags and shoes

When producing nylon packaging, what are considered to improve the environment?

The production of nylon packaging can improve the environment by considering the following:

1. Use of recycled materials: Manufacturers can use recycled materials, i.e. recyclable nylon, to produce packaging. This work reduces the use of natural resources and reduces the production of plastic waste.

2. Optimizing the packaging design: The packaging design should be such that it reduces the consumption of materials and also provides the necessary resistance and protection for the products. Using less thickness of nylon and designing recyclable and degradable packaging in nature can help the environment.

3. Improving production processes: Manufacturers can use more efficient and effective methods to produce nylon. This includes improving energy efficiency, reducing air and water pollutants, optimal water and waste management, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

4. Awareness and education: Educating consumers about the correct recycling and safe disposal of nylon packaging can help them understand and act correctly on how to manage plastic packaging materials.

5. Recycling Support: Establish proper collection and recycling systems for nylon packaging.
