Korrvu® Retention & Suspension Packaging for Product Stabilization

Korrvu® packaging combines resilient film with formed corrugated frames to control compatible products inside an outer carton. Retention systems hold an item against a frame, while suspension systems support it within airspace away from the carton walls. Choose between them by studying product geometry, fragility, surface sensitivity and the complete distribution environment.

Choose How the Product Should Be Controlled

Retention is useful when film can conform around a product and hold it firmly against the supporting frame. Suspension is useful when the product should be positioned between film layers with clearance from the outer walls. Neither label guarantees protection: the part must fit the intended frame, and projections, controls, cables or fragile surfaces must not be loaded in damaging ways.

For broader protection choices, compare specialty shipping boxes. If the product requires electrostatic controls, use a documented ESD packaging system rather than assuming resilient film provides anti-static or shielding performance.

Validate the Complete Packed System

Measure the protected product, not only its nominal device size, and verify every inner assembly, accessory divider and outer carton included with the exact product. Form the corrugated frame along its intended scores, position the item as instructed and confirm that the film applies stable, even restraint without excessive stress.

Close and test a representative package with the actual product, accessories, tape and shipping route. Confirm clearance after closure and inspect film and corrugated components before reuse. Repeated-drop, surface-protection or reuse claims must come from exact product documentation and representative testing; they should not be inferred from the retention or suspension name alone.

Retention Film holds the item against a formed frame Product contour, pressure points and frame fit
Suspension Film supports the item within airspace Wall clearance, weight distribution and accessory control

Retention & Suspension Packaging FAQs

What is the difference between retention and suspension packaging?

Retention holds a product against a frame; suspension supports it within airspace away from the outer carton walls.

Can one size fit any product with similar dimensions?

No. Product contour, weight, projections and the intended frame configuration all affect fit.

Does resilient film provide ESD protection?

Do not assume so. Use documented anti-static or shielding materials when the ESD control plan requires them.

Should I test the completed package?

Yes. Evaluate the actual product, internal assembly, outer carton, closure and distribution conditions together.
