One shipping mishap has the potential to sour a customer relationship.

Not only does the product arrive damaged and broken, but there are ripple effects the customer is faced with. Another delay, another form to fill out, another package to prepare and ship and more time spent tracking and waiting. With each instance of shipping damage, it erodes the goodwill you’ve carefully cultivated during the sales process.

Is your foam packaging underperforming?

If you’re aiming to improve customer satisfaction while reducing the costs of reverse logistics, it may be time to reassess your packaging materials. Are foam inserts and fillers truly meeting the standard? Or does your product require a solution that provides superior impact resistance?

At Evans Evco, we specialize in custom packaging solutions that go beyond what traditional converters offer. If your foam inserts aren’t consistently ensuring safe deliveries, our team can help. With decades of expertise in protective packaging, our technicians will evaluate your needs and recommend materials that perform.

What is Korrvu® suspended packaging and how does it protect?

One standout option for many of our customers is Korrvu® packaging. Designed for products that demand higher levels of protection, like precision instruments, electronics and delicate components, Korrvu® features a suspended packaging system.

How it works is it cradles items securely, minimizing movement and isolating them from shock, vibration and rough handling during loading and transit. It uses two layers of high-strength low-slip film, which holds and suspends the item in the center of the corrugated cardboard container.

With no shifting and a reduced exposure to impact, Korrvu® provides a higher degree of protection for your more delicate, breakable shipments.

Top advantages of Korrvu® suspended packaging

When comparing Korrvu® packaging to wrapping items in foam layers or using other box fillers, here are some reasons suspended packaging often comes out on top.

More consistent quality: Assembling Korrvu® is straightforward, with minimal setup required and no need for tools. Once packaged, shipments are easy to visually quality check. Plus, Korrvu® also simplifies the unpacking process — no sticky tape or plastic straps to deal with.

More sustainable: Korrvu® uses less material overall than foam inserts and is recyclable, helping businesses meet ESG (environmental, social, and governance) goals. (Tip: Include instructions for users to remove the plastic film from the corrugated cardboard for curbside recycling.) Its lightweight design also reduces shipping costs and lowers your carbon footprint.

Better aesthetics: First impressions matter. Korrvu® instantly enhances the unboxing experience by placing your product front and center, free from messy fillers. Customers are greeted with a clean, professional presentation — and no bulky foam bits to clean up.

Higher customer satisfaction: When Korrvu® is the right choice for your product, the benefits are clear. Fewer instances of transit damage mean happier customers. Even when a customer return is necessary, Korrvu® can be reused — simply return the product to its original enclosure for a secure trip back.

Reduced expenses: Reduced breakage in transit means lower costs for replacement and shipping. When fewer products are damaged, your overall expenses drop, delivering a strong ROI for Korrvu®.

Are there situations where suspended packaging is not the best fit?

While suspended packaging has many advantages, there are scenarios where it might not be the ideal choice. Applying the suspension film does require some labor, which could add time to your packing process for certain workflows. Also, Korrvu® isn’t well-suited for denser, heavier items that require more robust support.
