Intercept Technology Drives Sustainable Change in Automotive Packaging Solutions

The shift towards oil-free packaging and a greater emphasis on environmentally friendly solutions is being driven by a combination of European environmental legislation, corporate mandates, and public demand. As manufacturing becomes increasingly globalized, the need for robust protection of products during shipping and storage has intensified. This heightened focus on product safety necessitates enhanced protection, and Intercept Technology offers the ideal solution to meet both the demand for increased safeguarding and the requirement for oil-free packaging.

Intercept has a proven track record across Europe, Africa, and Asia, assisting companies in transitioning from traditional packaging methods and the environmentally challenging oiling and de-oiling processes. This transition provides both short-term and long-term protection for a wide range of items, from small spare parts to engine blocks, camshafts, crankshafts, transmissions, and fully assembled components. Numerous companies have approved Intercept for long-term storage solutions of up to 15 years.

By utilizing Intercept Technology, automotive companies and suppliers are transforming their shipping, storage, and packaging practices. They are replacing traditional bags with Intercept totes, thermoformed tote liners, and film liners, which simplifies and streamlines packaging specifications and processes. This innovation increases packing density for parts while minimizing packaging waste. Additionally, companies can eliminate the costs associated with oiling and de-oiling by placing clean, dry parts directly into Intercept bags -- whether single-use or reusable. Intercept also replaces foil packaging for long-term storage, allowing for easy access and re-closing in both field and warehouse settings. Furthermore, the use of Intercept shrink film enables dies and other manufacturing equipment to be stored outdoors instead of indoors.
