Award-Winning Protective Packaging for Lithium Batteries Now Available in U.S. Market
13 Mayo 2024 - 10:00AM
Berlin Packaging, the world’s largest Hybrid Packaging Supplier®,
is excited to introduce BUNCKER®- a UN-rated packaging solution for
transportation, storage and handling of all types and statuses of
lithium batteries - to the US market.
Though lithium batteries have increased in popularity due to
their long lifespan, high energy density, and relative safety when
used properly, the risk of thermal runaway remains a legitimate
concern. Thermal runaway is a self-sustaining and uncontrollable
reaction that can occur when a lithium battery experiences an
uncontrolled increase in temperature, which can lead to a rapid
release of hazardous gases, heat, and even flames. Traditional fire
suppression methods may not work against a lithium battery fire,
which means traditional packaging methods may not be appropriate
for the transport of lithium batteries.
BUNCKER® UN-Certified Packaging for Lithium Cells and Batteries
is designed for the transport and storage of lithium cells and
batteries in all phases of life: new, second life, refurbished,
cells or batteries for disposal or recycling, low production runs,
prototypes, damaged, defective, recalled, and end of life. BUNCKER®
is available in five sizes ranging from small to XXL and has a
unique, pallet-based packaging design which allows units to be
stackable and forklifted on all sides. BUNCKER® is UN-approved
according to P911/LP906, P903/LP903, P908/LP904, P910/LP905, P909
and UN-rated 50A/X/YR.
BUNCKER®’s innovative design has also earned it a coveted iF
DESIGN AWARD 2024 in the category of Industry – B2B Packaging. The
2024 competition saw 10,800 entries from 72 countries and is one of
the most prestigious design competitions in the world, underscoring
BUNCKER®’s exceptional design rooted in safety and ease of use.
