What is Vapor Barrier Packaging or VCI?

Vapor barrier packaging or VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors) is a layer of protection between your product, and the outside elements. There are several different forms of VCI, whether it be via heat sealed bag, heat sealed shrink or coated paper.

Its an invisible barrier, and the last line of defense for your customer’s product in regards to rust and corrosion. A tiny layer, usually only a few molecules thick, adhere to the products surface creating a layer of protection at all times during shipping.

How does Crate This apply VCI?

Crate This can apply VCI, 1 of 4 ways. We can wrap your product in VCI coated paper, bag desiccant under shrink wrap, seal your product in a foil bag, or heat shrink 6 and 7 or 8 mil thick VCI film around your product (the highest level of protection).
