Green Packaging, Inc. (Green VCI) will be attending this year's Metalcasting Congress at the Wisconsin Center in Milwaukee from April 25th to the 27th.

Working with foundries large and small, Green Packaging Inc. has revolutionized the way the metalcasting industry thinks about packaging and protecting the castings they produce. Since 2011, the company has attended the Metalcasting Congress and Cast Expo. Since 2012, the company has been a member of The Ductile Iron Society. Now in 2017, Green Packaging Inc. has established Corporate Membership with The American Foundry Society, an organization committed to promoting, educating, advocating, and enriching the metalcasting industry.

Across the country, billions of pounds of goods are shipped every single day. Of those billions of pounds shipped, a calculable percentage include metal parts. For producers of metal parts, shipping can be the most harrowing part of the industry experience but Green Packaging Inc., is alleviating that concern.

Across the country, tens of thousands of individuals rely on shipping to get their metal parts where they need to go. Relying on normal packaging can wreak havoc on goods susceptible to corrosion, affecting the quality of the received product and the reputation of the company that ships it.

For anyone whose livelihood depends on their ability to ship parts, threats to their wares while they are in transit is something of a nightmare. For those who ship metal parts, the threats to their pieces during shipping are particularly potent as damp environments can ruin untold numbers of products.

Everyday, foundries across the U.S. are shipping their products to buyers across the globe. Even at the most conservative of estimates, millions of pieces are traveling to far-off destinations by land, sea and air. For the foundries that are sending these shipments, their foremost concern is ensuring that their products arrive as they were intended, ready to fit into place and stand up to the pressure.

Across the U.S., foundry workers and metalworkers have their work cut out for them. In today's market, products are often shipped to every corner of the globe to the delight of professionals everywhere. With the increased ease of shipping pieces to far-away customers comes the major concern of the quality they'll arrive in. Metal pieces are susceptible to a number of agents that can act upon them after they've made their way into the shipping container. Arriving corroded, customers are unable to use the products they've ordered, harming their bottom line, and the reputation of the producer.

For foundry staff and management, there's a major concern associated with finished work. Shipping metal across the state, across the country or across the world, carries an associated risk of corrosion rendering pieces, and reputations useless. Handling conditions are rarely perfect, and boxes that come into contact with moisture can arrive in less than prime condition.

For foundry workers, owners and metal-casters of all types, work is something they can hold in their hands. They labor over each piece to ensure that their products are of an expected quality, an expected grade. Their painstaking processes all center around one thing, ensuring that their customers receive their pieces, meeting or exceeding expectations. Unfortunately, metal work is prone to corrosion, impacting not only the bottom line but the reputation of work.

For Foundry staff across the world, oxidation and moisture are the enemies of their work. A single bead of water, even a high amount of moisture in the air can completely ruin a casting, or even an entire shipment of castings. Foundry staff take every precaution and work vigilantly to ensure that corrosion never happens in their facilities, but even during shipping, oxidation is a real threat.
