Technical packaging for steelworks and die casting: durable and reusable solutions

Efficiency, strength and reusability are essential requirements for packaging in the metallurgy and die-casting sectors. The extreme conditions of these environments — high temperatures, fine dust, metal residues, continuous impacts — require highly performing materials designed to protect components and optimise industrial logistics.

In this context, technical packaging made of corrugated polypropylene represents a concrete answer to the daily challenges faced by steelworks and die-casting companies. Lightweight yet incredibly strong, it allows heavy parts to be transported and stored safely, efficiently and sustainably.

Custom solutions for high-stress environments

Every plant has its own specific needs: type of components, weight, finishing level, handling methods. This is why PP corrugated containers are often custom-designed to perfectly adapt to processes and available space.

Main advantages include:

• High mechanical strength and excellent impact absorption
• Corrugated structure that offers lightness without compromising robustness
• Possibility to create customised internal compartments
• Water-repellent and easy-to-clean surfaces, ideal for dusty or oily environments

In addition, containers can be stackable, foldable or equipped with technical accessories to improve handling during loading/unloading operations.

A sustainable alternative to disposable packaging

In the metallurgical sector, where production cycles are continuous and intense, packaging undergoes repeated and demanding use. Choosing reusable and recyclable solutions means:

• Significantly reducing packaging waste
• Cutting costs related to disposable container purchases
• Optimising logistics thanks to reduced empty volume and footprint
• Contributing to a more concrete circular economy

The corrugated polypropylene used by Innepla is 100% recyclable and produced through sustainable industrial processes. Design choices follow the 3R logic: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle — supporting companies on their path toward responsible innovation.

Concrete applications in foundries and production plants

Containers made from corrugated sheets are ideal for:

• Cast iron, aluminium or steel components
• Newly moulded or machined technical parts
• Industrial moulds and tools
• Components moved between departments or shipped to third parties

They can be combined with protective linings or shaped supports for enhanced protection of finished parts. The modularity of formats also makes each solution easy to adapt to warehouse layouts or automated loading systems.

Choosing technical packaging for steelworks and die casting is not only a matter of protection: it is a strategic lever to reduce costs, simplify logistics and increase operational sustainability. Thanks to material innovation and extensive expertise, Innepla offers durable, customisable and long-lasting containers, perfect for meeting the daily challenges of modern metallurgical production.
