Help with Packaging Containers specifications:

Type

	Type
	Your choices are...
	Bag / Sack		Bags or sacks are typically flexible containers that may be closed for holding, storing, or carrying materials.
	Basket		Baskets are shaped containers for handling goods or products. They typically have handles easy lifting.
	Bin		Bins are storage devices with a semi-opened end that allows personnel to remove contents without moving the container from its position.
	Blister Pack		Blister packs are tamper-proof packages used to display hanging products, while maximizing the use of floor space.
	Bottle / Jar		Bottles and jars are cylindrical containers made of either glass or plastic. They have a re-closable or pop-off top.
	Box / Crate		Boxes or crates are rigid, typically rectangular containers with or without a cover.
	Bucket / Pail		Buckets or pails are typically cylindrical vessels for catching, holding, or carrying liquid or solids. They usually have a fully open top.
	Can		Cans are cylindrical containers for packaging, storing, and/or containing goods.
	Carton		Cartons are primary packaging containers made from folding boxboard. They are supplied flat and are usually stackable.
	Cooler		Coolers are insulated containers that are designed to preserve the warmth or coolness of products stored within.
	Drum / Barrel / Keg		Drums, barrels, and kegs are large cylindrical containers for storing or moving liquids. Typically, filling and dispensing is performed through a bung or other smaller opening.
	Envelope		An envelope is a flat container that is closable to hold documents.
	Bulk Box / Gaylord®		Bulk Box containers often known as Gaylord containers are large storage or transportation containers for bulk materials. They are typically sized to match the length and width of a pallet. Gaylord is a registered trademark of Gaylord Brothers, Inc.
	IBC		Intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) have a capacity of not more than three cubic meters and are designed for mechanical handling. This category includes flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs) such as bulk bags or super sacks.
	ISO / Intermodal		ISO containers are used for the intermodal transport of freight. They are manufactured according to specifications from the International Standards Organization (ISO) and are suitable for multiple transportation methods such as truck and rail, or rail and ship. ISO containers are manufactured in many sizes. The standard width is 8 ft. The most common lengths are 20 and 40 ft. Other lengths include 24, 28, 44, 45, 46, 53 and 56 ft. All ISO containers include a container safety certificate (CSC) issued by the manufacturer that must be renewed every 30 months by a certified inspector. If necessary, an approved continuous examination program (ACEP) can be used in place of this procedure.
	Pouch		Pouches are three-sided bags. They often have a bottom that allows packages to stand for display.
	Tote		Totes are portable, box-type containers for the temporary containment of materials.
	Tray / Cup		Trays or cups are rigid containers for holding products made of paper, plastic, or aluminum. They are used widely used for packaging foodstuff products, marine products, etc.
	Tube		Tubes are cylindrical holding, shipping, or storage devices.
	Vial		Vials are small bottles that are usually made of glass. These containers have a narrow aperture that is closed with a stopper.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary container types.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Materials

	Materials
	Your choices are...
	Acrylic / Plexiglas		Acrylics are formed through the polymerization of acrylic monomers and used in molding and extrusion compounds. Plexiglas acrylic sheets are available in a wide range of colors, patterns, thicknesses, and sizes.
	Aluminum		Aluminum is a bluish, silver-white, malleable, ductile, light trivalent metallic element with good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation.
	Cardboard / Paperboard		Like paper, cardboard is made from wood pulp; however, it is usually thicker.
	Composite / Fiberglass		Composite materials such as fiberglass are strong, durable, and impervious to many caustics and extreme temperatures. Fiberglass fabrics are used widely in industrial applications.
	Fabric / Cloth		This category includes fabrics such as cotton, canvas, and synthetic fabrics.
	Foam / Styrofoam®		Foam is a lightweight material created by introducing gas bubbles into a polymer. The resulting cellular product has good insulating characteristics as well as good impact resistance. Styrofoam® is a registered trademark of Dow Chemical Company.
	Glass		Glass is a hard, brittle material consisting of a mixture of silicates. It is usually transparent or translucent. Glass is considered to be a cooled liquid rather than a true solid.
	Metalized Film		Metalized film is a plastic film that has been coated on one side with a very thin layer of metal.
	Paper		Paper is made of cellulose pulp.
	Plastic		Plastics are organic, synthetic, or processed materials that are mostly thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers of high molecular weight. Plastics can be made into objects, films, or filaments.
	Steel		Steel is a commercial iron that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 percent as an essential alloying constituent. It is malleable under suitable conditions and distinguished from cast iron by both its malleability and lower carbon content.
	Steel - Stainless		Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high pressure ratings.
	Steel - Wire		Materials are made of intertwined wire that forms a container or barrier.
	Wood		Wood is a naturally grown product of trees.
	Specialty / Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary materials.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Specifications

	Volume Capacity		Volume capacity is the maximum volume that containers are designed to hold.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Height		This is the outside height of the container.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Length		Depth or length is the distance from the front opening to the back.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Width / Diameter		This is the outside width or diameter of the container.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

Features

	Features
	Your choices are...
	Air Tight		Products are designed to protect container contents from exposure air and moisture.
	Collapsible		Products can be collapsed or broken down to conserve room.
	Magnetic / EMI / RFI Shielded		Products are shielded against magnetic, electromagnetic (EMI), and radio frequency (RFI) interference.
	ESD Protection		Products provide protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) pulses.
	Fireproof		Fireproof products are designed to protect container contents from exposure to fire.
	Flexible Packaging		Flexible packaging can conform to the size and shape of the packaged item.
	Heavy Duty		Heavy duty products are designed and constructed in a manner that manufacturers classify as heavy duty.

	Locking		Products include a locking mechanism.
	Moisture Barrier / Proof		Containers include a barrier that prevents the ingress of moisture or other contaminants.
	Moisture Resistant		Moisture resistant products provide some degree of protection from the surrounding environment, but are not necessarily impervious to that environment.
	Nesting		To conserve room, products will slip within each other when empty.
	Static Shielding		Static shielding products prevent damage from static energy. To reduce static build up, an electrostatic dissipative layer such as metalized polyester is applied to a substrate.
	Temperature Controlled		Temperature controlled products include equipment for keeping contents at a constant temperature.
