Why Automotive Dunnage Matters

Dunnage is essential in the automotive supply chain for protection to prevent damage, ensure efficiency, and maintain the integrity of high-value parts. With delicate Class A surfaces, custom-fit designs, and sustainability demands, Solo Products offers materials and solutions that meet the automotive sector’s highest standards.

Primary Automotive Applications of Dunnage:

• Stabilizing parts such as panels, bumpers, and interior trims during transit.
• Protecting Class A surfaces like dashboards and glossy finishes from scratches using scrim-laminated plastic sheets, and scrim-laminated plastic corrugated sheets.
• Safeguarding sensitive or irregularly shaped components with die-cut foam inserts.
• Reusable corrugated plastic trays and CON-Pearl® containers for cost-effective, eco-friendly shipping.

Advanced Dunnage Solutions for the Automotive Industry

Corrugated Plastic: Lightweight, Durable, and Reusable

Corrugated plastic is one of the most widely used materials in the automotive supply chain. Known for its strength, puncture resistance, and reusability, it’s the ideal solution for creating lightweight, durable dunnage systems.

Automotive Applications:

• Reusable shipping containers for parts like headlights, grilles, and interior panels.
• Partition systems to separate components during transport and avoid damage.
• Protective liners for pallets and crates in transit.

Key Material Features:

• Resistant to oils, chemicals, and moisture.
• Made from recyclable polypropylene, supporting sustainability initiatives.

CON-Pearl®: Strength and Sustainability in Automotive Packaging

CON-Pearl® is a high-performance polypropylene (PP) material known for its strength, lightweight construction, and recyclability—a game-changer for automotive dunnage.

Why Automotive Manufacturers Choose CON-Pearl®:

• Superior strength-to-weight ratio for handling heavy parts.
• Recyclable design aligns with sustainability goals.
• Long-lasting durability, reducing overall packaging costs.

Applications in Automotive:

• Custom trays and totes for engine components, gearboxes, and other heavy-duty parts.
• Interiors of reusable containers used across supply chain networks.
• Door liners, trunk/spare tire liners, and roof liners

Die-Cut Foam: Protecting Class A Surfaces and Irregular Shapes

Foam is critical for protecting high-value automotive parts during manufacturing and transit. Solo Products specializes in custom die-cut foam solutions to fit the exact dimensions and specifications of any component.

Automotive Applications:

• Protecting glossy “Class A” surfaces, scratch-prone parts like trim moldings, instrument panels, and center consoles.
• Custom inserts for door panels, bumpers, and small interior components.
• Shock-absorption foam for fragile or delicate electronic parts.

Key Features:

• Available in multiple foam types to meet specific needs, including polyurethane, polyethylene, and cross-linked polyethylene foams and INOAC equivalents.
• Options with or without PSA (pressure-sensitive adhesive) for easy application.

Scrim-Laminated Foam: Ideal for Class A Automotive Parts

Protecting Class A surfaces, such as painted or polished automotive components, is a top priority in the industry. Solo Products provides scrim-laminated foam that prevents scratches, abrasions, and surface damage.

Best Uses:

• Wrap-around automotive protection for hood panels, doors, and mirrors.
• Custom die-cut designs for specific automotive applications.
• Preventing buzz, squeak, and rattle (BSR) issues during transport.
