Frequently Asked Questions

Custom Expendable Packaging

Expendable packaging is designed for single-use or short-term application, often for shipping, storage, or transporting products to end-users or across long supply chains. Unlike reusable packaging, which is intended to return and cycle through multiple uses, expendable packaging is disposed of or recycled after its purpose is served. This makes expendable packaging ideal for protecting goods during one-way transit or export.

 

Expendable packaging is ideal when product routes are “one-way,” such as direct-to-customer shipments, exports, or when logistics make returns impractical. It’s also beneficial where storage space doesn’t allow for the return of empty containers.

Common materials include corrugated cardboard, molded pulp, foam inserts, and occasionally lightweight plastics. These materials are selected for their cost-effectiveness, protective qualities, and ease of disposal or recycling after use.

 

Due to its single-use design, expendable packaging is typically lighter and less expensive than returnable packaging. This helps lower freight costs, especially for air or international shipments, and eliminates the need for reverse logistics, saving on return shipping and handling fees.

 

Industries with complex supply chains or export needs—such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, medical devices, and consumer goods—frequently rely on expendable packaging for secure and efficient product movement.

 

Yes. Universal Package specializes in customized expendable packaging tailored to the unique requirements of your products, including custom inserts, cushioning, and specialty shapes to ensure maximum protection during transit.
