Pesticides Packaging
Looking for innovative solutions for pesticide packaging? CDF has you covered. Read on to learn more about CDF’s solutions for pesticide packaging:
Benefits of Flexible Packaging for Pesticides
Reduced Weight and Improved Logistics: Flexible packaging is lighter than rigid containers, reducing transportation costs and improving handling efficiency.
Enhanced Safety: Features like improved sealing technologies minimize the risk of leaks and spills during transportation and storage.
Cost-Effectiveness: Less material is used in production, and the flexible nature of the packaging can reduce storage space compared to rigid containers.
Sustainability: Flexible packaging often uses fewer resources and generates less waste than traditional rigid packaging.
Considerations and Requirements for Pesticides
Chemical Compatibility: The materials used in flexible packaging must be compatible with the chemical properties of the pesticide to prevent degradation or reaction with the packaging.
Barrier Properties: Pesticides often require high-barrier packaging to protect against moisture, oxygen, and other environmental factors that could degrade the product.
Regulatory Compliance: Pesticides are heavily regulated, and packaging must meet specific standards to ensure safety and efficacy, including certifications for child resistance and tamper-evidence.
Fluorination-Free: Our bag-in-box packaging does not require fluorination, avoiding the potential production of PFAS and ensuring a safer, more environmentally friendly solution.
Bag-in-Box for Pesticides Packaging
Bag-in-box packaging consists of two parts – an outer corrugated box and a flexible bag. The corrugated shell serves as protection for the flexible bag, which holds the product. Originally developed for beverage packaging due to the format’s ease of use and convenient dispensing, bag-in-box has evolved to apply to other products today, including pesticide packaging.
There are many benefits to bag-in-box. The flexible bag can be outfitted with fitments and closures to allow for easy dispensing and maximum product evacuation. It’s also available in bulk formats, with flexible bags available up to 25 liters in size. Finally, CDF has also developed a 20-liter bag that passes Level 2 and Level 3 UN certification for transportation standards, an important measure when you’re dealing with pesticides.
IBC Liners for Pesticides Packaging
When it comes to packaging pesticides, ensuring product purity and efficiency is crucial. IBC liners offer the ideal solution for handling larger volumes, typically ranging from 275 to 330 gallons, making them efficient for industrial and agricultural use. With robust construction, IBCs are designed to withstand the demands of transportation and storage, while protecting their contents.
CDF’s customizable IBC liners help improve product evacuation and prevent leakage, offering tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of pesticide packaging. However, it’s important to note that our IBC solutions are not UN-certifiable at this time, which may be required for transporting certain hazardous materials.
Some of the IBC liners that CDF offers include:
Form-Fit Liners: Designed to mold to the internal shape of any container, this liner offers premium product evacuation and is ideal for top-fill and high-speed filling applications.
Air-Assist Liners: Similar to the Form-Fit liner, but includes an air bladder that inflates to further assist product evacuation by pushing against the liner.
Pillow Liners: Available for a wide range of processes, offering versatility for various packaging needs.
Drum & Pail Liners for Pesticides Packaging
Drum and pail liners are another ideal solution for bulk volumes of pesticide packaging. CDF’s liners are deep-draw thermoformed and heat-sealed, offering maximum durability and quality from the initial fill through the end use. CDF offers drum and pail liners for steel and plastic drums and pails, liners for fiber drums, and liners for round-bottom drums.
Cost Savings of Sustainable Packaging
CDF’s packaging solutions offer significant cost savings while enhancing operational efficiency. Our designs streamline the filling process and improve efficiency on the shop floor. They can also help maximize transportation logistics by fitting more packages onto fewer trucks, reducing both costs and carbon footprint.
When choosing the right packaging, several decision factors should be considered:
Specific Pesticide Requirements: The formulation of the pesticide—such as stability, reactivity, and shelf life—can influence the type of packaging needed to ensure product integrity.
Volume of Product: For smaller quantities, flexible packaging might be more practical. For larger, bulk quantities, IBCs are often the more effective solution.
Transportation and Storage Needs: The logistics of transporting and storing the product should be taken into account. IBCs may be necessary for very large or heavy shipments.
Environmental Impact of CDF Solutions
CDF’s solutions can help you meet your sustainability goals in several ways. Our solutions are recyclable, are created using less material and fewer resources, and help maximize product evacuation to ensure that the maximum amount of product is used and less goes to waste.
Take bag-in-box, for instance. The outer corrugated shell is fully recyclable and the flexible bag is created using fewer resources.
