Shipping damage and freight inefficiencies cost manufacturers millions each year. Whether you’re moving food & beverages, automotive parts, fragile components, or mixed loads, protecting goods in transit without sacrificing space or budget is a top priority. That’s where collapsible dunnage comes in.
Collapsible dunnage offers a flexible, cost-effective, space-saving solution for transporting a wide range of products. When not in use, it folds down to reduce return freight and storage costs. It’s also highly customizable, helping protect shipments from damage and contamination during transit.
At Sunrise Manufacturing, we help you identify the best dunnage solution for your application — and ensure it works seamlessly with your logistics operation. Here’s a closer look at a few key products we offer that can work for you.
DIAMOND-CORR®
Our first collapsible dunnage option is a tried, true, and trusted favorite among numerous industries. The DIAMOND-CORR® void filler is an industry leader for protective shipping needs. It’s a do-it-all product that withstands the test of time.
The DIAMOND-CORR® folds to save warehouse space in storage and is reusable.
DIAMOND-CORR II®
Much like its predecessor, the DIAMOND-CORR II® offers the same benefits but with a modified profile. This collapsible dunnage option is best suited for shipping cased goods and lighter weight products. Its profile reduces cost, while maintaining the blocking and bracing required for safe transit.
MATCH BOOK®
With corrugated backing and self-supporting honeycomb bulkhead filler, the MATCH BOOK® collapsible dunnage option could be the difference maker to ship your goods safely and securely.
It’s a lightweight, cost-effective, reusable, and recyclable option.
SADDLE-PAK®
Designed and engineered for singled out units, the SADDLE-PAK® collapsible dunnage option is geared to provide maximum protection against load shift. SADDLE-PAK® helps maintain proper axle weight distribution by distributing more weight to the rear and away from the nose. Convenient, strong, lightweight and easy to use, SADDLE-PAK® stores flat and expands to fill the void on each side of the unit.
LEDGE-PAK®
This patent-protected collapsible dunnage option is designed to prevent length-wise load shift due to pallet underhang. Pallet underhang can easily cause an imbalance of weight on pallets with empty space. With LEDGE-PAK®, there’s no need to worry about potential shifts during shipment.
How to Choose the Right Collapsible Dunnage
Not sure which solution fits your needs? Start by considering the following:
- Product weight: Heavy items require durable, load-bearing materials. Let Sunrise help make the right choice based on your product and specific needs.
- Fragility: Proper blocking and bracing can protect fragile items by eliminating excess movement during transit.
- Shipping environment: Long-distance or multi-modal shipping may require more robust protection.
- Storage space: Collapsible options can reduce return shipment and storage volume significantly.
- Sustainability goals: Our collapsible dunnage is made using paper-based products that are recyclable and reusable.
Still unsure? Sunrise can help you evaluate your shipping workflow, cost drivers, and packaging needs to determine the best fit.
