The use of PP (polypropylene) corrugated boxes in aerospace offers many economic benefits due to its durability, lightweight design and recyclability. Firstly, PP corrugated boxes are lightweight and larger than conventional packaging materials, reducing overall shipping weight and jet fuel costs resulting in pounds saved meaning lower operating costs.
Furthermore, PP boxes are exceptionally durable and resistant to water, chemicals and harsh environmental conditions, which means they can withstand long transportation and storage cycles without compromising. Their flexibility means there is no need for frequent replacement, reducing long-term packaging costs. PP corrugated boxes are also recyclable, allowing aerospace companies to reuse them multiple times as opposed to single-use packaging. This recycling not only reduces procurement costs but also supports sustainability goals and helps companies reduce waste.
Additionally, PP boxes can be manufactured in a variety of shapes and sizes, to precisely fit specific air and space applications. This design reduces the need for excessive padding or other packaging, further reducing costs. For aerospace companies focused on cost efficiency and sustainability, PP corrugated boxes offer an affordable and durable solution.
