After all, it is also our responsibility to prevent loss and damage during normal transportation and handling according to FedEx. In the last several years here at ICC, the need for paint can shippers that don\u2019t leak and dent has gone through the roof. I have been contacted by several different large paint distributors all looking to solve the same riddle; how do I get my paint cans from point A to point B without damage and leaking? Challenge accepted! The first step is to decide what metric to use to determine if the packaging will damage or leak during normal transit.\u00a0 Well a while back I wrote a blog on ISTA 6-FEDEX-A testing, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/ista-series-6-6-fedex-a-testing-vs-standard-un-testing\/\">https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/ista-series-6-6-fedex-a-testing-vs-standard-un-testing\/<\/a>, which helps determine how well a package will perform out in the field. So I figured that would be a good starting point. Basically, our goal was to create paint can shippers that not only would survive the 10 drops from 30 inches up that the FedEx testing requires, but also have minimal to no damage on the paint cans at all.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Quart\/Liter Shippers<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-206128\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/DAMAGED-PAINT-CAN-PICTURE-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"211\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/DAMAGED-PAINT-CAN-PICTURE-2.png 211w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/DAMAGED-PAINT-CAN-PICTURE-2-64x57.png 64w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 211px) 100vw, 211px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Securepacc\u2122 quart\/liter shipper<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>During the testing process, the goal was to provide enough protection to withstand impacts on the top, bottom, sides, and corners. Each can was filled with 4.2 lbs., and dropped 10 times from 30 inches high inside the corrugated inserts and box. The design that ultimately has the best success was the corrugated insert in the picture above. As you can see, the bottom and top of the can rests upon a springboard platform, which when the box is dropped provides a trampoline-like motion and the can doesn\u2019t make contact with the bottom of the box or the hard surface it is being dropped on. In addition the insert completely surrounds the top and bottom of the can, so if the box is dropped on the sides or corners, the insert takes the brunt force of the fall.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div

Unlike standard EPS foam which is stiff and rigid and can possibly even shatter on impact, the PE foam used in these kits is soft enough to stay intact after a fall, but strong enough to protect the cans from any outside forces exerted upon them. As you can see in the pictures below using our new PE inserts, the paint cans were almost unblemished, and this was after a total of about 67 pounds inside the package.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\r\n<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\r\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-206134\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/DAMAGED-PAINT-CAN-PICTURE-8.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"684\" height=\"435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/DAMAGED-PAINT-CAN-PICTURE-8.png 684w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/DAMAGED-PAINT-CAN-PICTURE-8-300x191.png 300w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/DAMAGED-PAINT-CAN-PICTURE-8-600x382.png 600w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/DAMAGED-PAINT-CAN-PICTURE-8-64x41.png 64w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Bottom of cans after testing<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\r\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-206135\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/DAMAGED-PAINT-CAN-PICTURE-9.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"690\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/DAMAGED-PAINT-CAN-PICTURE-9.png 690w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/DAMAGED-PAINT-CAN-PICTURE-9-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/DAMAGED-PAINT-CAN-PICTURE-9-600x374.png 600w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/DAMAGED-PAINT-CAN-PICTURE-9-64x40.png 64w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Top of cans after testing<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Compare this to a gallon can using a standard EPS foam insert design below, which ultimately failed due to severe denting and leaking.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-206136\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/DAMAGED-PAINT-CAN-PICTURE-10.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"464\" height=\"308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/DAMAGED-PAINT-CAN-PICTURE-10.png 464w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/DAMAGED-PAINT-CAN-PICTURE-10-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/DAMAGED-PAINT-CAN-PICTURE-10-64x42.png 64w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 464px) 100vw, 464px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Can with severe denting and leaking after testing with EPS foam inserts<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>THE END RESULT<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>All of the trials and tribulations of FedEx ISTA testing led to the creation of our new Securepacc\u2122 Paint Cans shippers.
