Cortec® offers a wide variety of VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) papers. It is good to be aware of these sizing, style, and pricing options so Cortec® VpCI® Paper users can make the most of their corrosion protection selection for metals packaging.

Many Sizes
Cortec’s flagship VpCI® Paper, CorShield® VpCI®-146, a USDA Certified Biobased Product, naturally has the most stock options to suit customer preferences and packaging needs:

• Multiple roll widths and weights
• Precut sheeting in sizes ranging from 4 x 8 inches to 36 x 36 inches
• Sheets perforated on a roll for easy tear-off 12 x 12 inch

Custom roll sizes are still more versatile—from 3-98 inches wide and 50-50,000 feet long (depending on basis weight) in many paper types. Custom perforations of 24-72 inches can be ordered on rolls 12- 48 inches wide in a variety of paperweights.

Multiple Styles
CCP makes it a point to stock multiple versions of VCI paper, so users also have several protection styles to choose from. In addition to basic CorShield® VpCI®-146 Paper, these include basic sizes of

• EcoShield® VpCI®-144 Paper (recyclable moisture barrier)
• CorShield® VpCI®-146 Creped Paper (for extra cushioning)
• CorShield® VpCI®-146 Reinforced Paper (for packing metals with sharp edges)

Other specialty stock options in basic sizing include

• VpCI®-143 Paper Emitters (1 x 1 inch [6.45 cm²])
• EcoShield® Heat Sealable Paper (non-VCI applications)
• Corrosorber® VpCI® Paper (to prevent silver tarnish)

Cost Savings Opportunities
When ordering VpCI® papers, there are many common-sense cost-saving strategies. First, by choosing items already in stock, customers can save extra costs and time needed to prepare custom options. Second, customers can save on the price per unit by ordering larger quantities. Third, customers can also get a price cut by ordering cradle pack pallets, which reduce the amount of cardboard normally required to box each roll.
