A R Arena Products, Inc.
A.R. Arena manufactures intermediate bulk containers and IBC/tote liners. The A330 Shipper™ is designed for liquid IBC applications. IBC handles unique dynamic stresses associated with liquid loads during handling and transport – such as sudden motions or abrupt stops can cause liquid loads to shift and place greater stress on an IBC. Conventional intermediate bulk containers can fracture or break under such pressures but the A330 Shipper’s unique design absorbs and flexes in response to the stress demands with a greater strength-to-weight ratio than steel.

More on Bulk Packaging
As manufacturing and distribution systems become increasingly complex, there is a greater need for efficient and effective bulk packaging. With the right packaging solutions in place, suppliers are able to make sure their products are protected and securely stored during transit. But with so many packaging options on the market, it can be hard to pick the right one for the job.
Take large bags, for example. These are great for packaging bulk items such as grains, feed, and minerals. Their large size allows a large quantity of products to be stored and transported at once, saving time and effort. Furthermore, most large bags come with handles, making them easy to move when full.
Drums, on the other hand, are ideal for packaging liquids and other products that are too fragile for large bags. Drums are typically made from steel or plastic and come with lids that can be sealed, providing a secure environment for the contents. Drums may also have additional features such as an interior coating and additional liners for added protection.
Intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) are another type of packaging used for many industrial applications. These containers are larger and sturdier than drums and can store a greater quantity of products. IBCs are also stackable, making them ideal for efficient storage and transport.
Liners are used to provide additional protection and insulation when packing items. These can come in the form of plastic liners, fabric liners, or even paper liners and can be used to line drums, bags, or crates. Liners are also great for moisture protection, keeping products dry during transit.
Pails are typically used to store and transport smaller, lightweight items. Pails are usually made of plastic and can come with a lid or lid straps to ensure secure transport. Pails are commonly used in the food industry and can also come with an interior coating and additional liners to prevent contamination and spills.
Bins and crates are types of packaging used when large, heavy items need to be transported. Bins are typically made from wood, plastic, or metal and come with lids for secure storage. Crates come in various sizes and can be customized to meet the needs of any application. They are ideal for products with large sizes, shapes, and weights, as they can provide the necessary padding and protection for products during transit.
Overall, it is important to find the right type of bulk packaging to best suit the needs of your products. From large bags to drums, pails, bins, and crates, each type of packaging can provide the protection needed to ensure the safe transport of products. And while it can be difficult to find the right solution, understanding the various types of packaging and their uses can help you make the right choice for your industrial manufacturing and distribution needs.
Take large burlap bags or sacks, for instance. This medium is great for packaging bulk ingredients or substrates, such as grains, feed, and minerals. Their size allows a substantial quantity of product to be stored and transported at once, saving time and effort. Even better, many options come with handles, making them easier to move throughout the transportation process.
Drums, on the other hand, are ideal for large volumes of liquids and other products that are too fragile for large bags. These are typically made from steel, plastic, or durable fibers and come with lids that can be sealed, providing a secure environment for the contents. Drums may also have additional features such as an interior coating, membrane or additional lining for added safety and protection, as sometimes required by law, depending on the product.
Intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), sometimes called vats, are another type of industrial packaging solution used by manufacturers. These containers are larger and sturdier than drums, are generally made of industrial grade materials and can store a greater quantity of products. Most IBCs are also stackable, making them especially effective for space efficient storage and transport.
Pails are used in a wide range of applications from paint to processed foods These are typically used to store and transport smaller, lightweight items. Pails are usually made of plastic and can come with a lid or lid straps to ensure secure transport. Pails, such as polypropylene buckets, are commonly used in the food industry and can also come with an interior coating and additional liners to prevent contamination and spills.
Bins and crates are types of bulk packaging used when large, heavy items need to be transported. They’re typically made from wood, plastic, or metal, and come with lids for safe and secure storage. Crates come in various sizes and can be customized to meet the needs of most applications. They’re ideal for sizable, heavy products of various sizes, as they can provide the vital padding and protection for products during transit.
Liners, as already mentioned above, are used to augment the above packaging formats, providing additional protection and insulation. These can come in the form of plastic liners, fabric liners, or even paper liners and can be used to line drums, bags, or crates. Liners are also great for moisture protection, keeping sensitive products dry during transportation from point A to point B, and beyond.
When looking at bulk or industrial packaging, what’s most important is to find the right solution that best suits the needs of your products. From large bags to drums, pails, bins and crates, each type of packaging can provide solutions needed to ensure the safe transport of your unique products. While it can seem daunting and arduous searching for the right solution, understanding the various types of packaging and their uses can help you make the right choice for your needs.
