Transporting Lithium-Ion Batteries Safely

The IonPak® was designed as a reusable FLC for safe transportation of Lithium-Ion Batteries. The lithium battery shipping boxes are suitable for non-certified batteries, prototypes, battery cells, battery modules and batteries in equipment. For increased part protection, the batteries are stored in layers using customised interior packaging solutions that are developed to safely hold dangerous goods. In accordance with the latest dangerous goods guidelines (RID/ADR), the shock absorbing interior packaging is adapted to your product. The lithium ion battery packaging utilises standard footprints designed to interface with customers’ existing supply chains. Once batteries are removed at the assembly line, two-unit loads can fit together and packed into one FLC, to reduce return shipping costs by up to 50%. The transport of airbags and belt tensioners of dangerous goods class 9 is possible after successful completion of fire testing.

The ORBIS IonPak® is UN certified to transport solid dangerous goods (e.g. UN3480) and consists of a standard container with customised interior packaging. Due to the special manufacturing process, our lithium battery shipping boxes are extremely robust and durable. We use up to 90% recycled plastics during manufacturing, leading to emissions savings of 60-70 kg CO2 per load carrier. With the collapsible and stackable design, the IonPak battery shipping boxes offer optimised space utilisation and significant cost savings.

Innovative Supply-Chain-Solutions – Integrated and Sustainable
ORBIS offers a growing portfolio of reusable transport packaging and develops customer-specific solutions. The load carriers, like FLCs, can be UN-certified to transport solid dangerous goods. All packaging solutions are designed for multiple re-use. At the end of the service life, ORBIS offers to buy back obsolete or damaged packaging for the material value, recycles 100% of the plastics and uses these for new packaging production. In that way, ORBIS creates a nearly closed raw material cycle. The sustainable and reusable solutions bring the following benefits to customers’ supply chains:

• Improved supply chain efficiency and streamlined automation
• Enhanced product protection
• Optimised space utilization due to stackability and fold-down ratio of up to 1:3
• Supply-chain wide, long-term cost savings
• Less waste, clean plants and equipment
