Shipping food and beverage products creates some unique challenges. In addition to normal shipping concerns, such as making sure your products arrive in one piece, it’s important to guarantee that none of your packaging materials present a hazard to your customers. Our custom shipping container partitions can help you find a safe and effective solution.
The Problem with Plastic
Plastic has long been a traditional shipping material, but it’s been falling out of favor in recent years. Many affordable plastic shipping products contain BPA, which is a chemical linked to a variety of health issues, including cancer. While BPA-free plastics do exist, they tend not to be widely available in box partitions and other shipping products.
Food-Safe Solutions
Fortunately, you don’t have to look too far to find safer packaging solutions. At General Partition Company, we offer multiple options suitable for food and beverage packaging and distribution.
SBS Partitions
Some of our most popular options for food manufacturers are SBS partitions. SBS dividers, which are also known as solid bleached sulfate boards, are a great choice for food products because they have no scent or taste that could potentially alter the flavor of the item. The material is also FDA-approved for food packaging, so you don’t have to worry about any chemical contamination or safety issues.
Another benefit of SBS partitions is their attractive appearance. SBS has a crisp white color and a slight sheen, which creates a sleek look that shows off your products. The protective coating also helps prevent staining. Its lightweight construction makes it easy to cut down into custom sizes to handle any product.
Chipboard Partitions
Chipboard partitions are another popular option. They are particularly well-suited for bottled or packaged food items because they are lightweight and economical while still providing plenty of protection. Chipboard dividers can be easily tailored to fit a variety of needs.
We offer chipboard partitions in a variety of finishes, most of which are approved for use with food products. We also have several thicknesses, which can protect everything from glass drink bottles to individual food items.
Whether you’re making gourmet chocolates, shipping baked goods, or sending out bottles of wine, we can help you find the perfect box separators for your needs.
