For more than 50 years, General Partition Company, Inc. has been giving businesses reliable access to interior box packaging. When your business needs to ship something, you have your choice between chipboard, SBS, and corrugated box partitions. Which of these you use depends on what your shipping needs are, and all three have their advantages and intended uses.
Chipboard
Chipboard is generally the most budget-friendly option, but that doesn’t mean it requires you to sacrifice quality. It’s sturdy and made from 100% recycled materials, and its flexibility makes it ideal for shipping items that are irregular in shape or size. It’s also versatile and adaptable for countless uses, and because we make them according to your needs and specifications, you can guarantee safe arrival for what you use chipboard partitions to transport.
If you need to ship fragile items, you can have your chipboard partition treated with a smooth finish and polycoat. Extra protection comes from empty cells around the partition’s perimeter, known as “air cells.”
Other optional features include:
- Notches (“V,” half-moon, and “S” shaped) to enable your customers to easily grasp the items and take them out of the packaging
- Locking mechanisms to keep the partition held together before it’s placed into the carton
- Message content such as a stamped or printed customer logo to personalize the orders you ship to fit your brand
Solid Bleach Sulfite (SBS)
You don’t lose any strength, versatility, or other advantages by choosing SBS partitions over chipboard. Like chipboard, it comes in a variety of calibers, finishes, with numerous optional features available. The big difference in choosing SBS is that you gain a white coating, consisting of a bleached board that gives the material its name.
This type of box partition is especially popular in the medical, food (particularly frozen food), cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. This coating gives added protection against moisture and other potential forces that could compromise the appearance, cleanliness, and safety of the package’s contents.
Whether you choose chipboard or SBS, your partitions will be delivered on time and fully assembled. They will arrive packed in corrugated cartons, collapsed, so all you’ll have to do is open up the partition and put it into your carton.
