VCI Paper and VCI Bags
VCI is an acronym for volatile corrosion inhibitors. VCI paper and VCI bags are the best way to protect metals from corrosion. The chemicals in VCI products are volatile. Thus, when you wrap or pack a product with VCI paper or bags, the chemicals in the VCI form a protective molecular layer on the metal that protects it form any type of corrosion, ensuring that the product that is being protected does not get damaged by factors such as oxygen, salt or dirt.
Anti-Static Bags and Static Shielding Bags
These types of bags protect products from electricity. Although many people think they are the same, there is one fundamental difference between the two: anti-static bags prevent the formation of static electricity inside; on the other hand, static shielding bags not only protect static electricity from forming, but also from electrostatic discharge. They are good for packing mostly electronics. Deciding which one to use depends on the particular characteristics of the product which is packed.
Moisture Barrier Bags
As their name suggests, moisture barrier bagsÔÇÖ function is to protect their contents from any kind of humidity. They are good for virtually any product that requires being away from moisture at all times.
Desiccant Packs
These are, without a doubt, one of the most popular protective packaging solutions. Desiccant packs small bags packed with desiccants inside. Their function is to absorb any moisture, odors, and chemicals around them. They are used for food, electronics, clothes, among many others types of products.
