%X With the continuous growth of shipment volumes in the courier, express and parcel (CEP) market, mainly driven by e-commerce, the usage of so-called polybags as packaging material for low-value goods is increasingly replacing conventional cardboard boxes or kraft paper envelopes. Especially in the Asian region the usage of polybags as packaging material can be considered as status quo. Despite their advantages regarding costs, durability or tampering protection, the flexible shape and the material properties of polybags lead to major challenges when being processed with automated material handling technology in logistics distribution centers. Depending on one’s point of view the usage of polybags in the CEP industry can be seen as boon or bane. Another dilemma in conjunction with this kind of packaging material is that there is no precise definition of the term polybag neither in literature, nor in the packaging branch or in the CEP industry. This often leads to wrong interpretations and misunderstandings. The aim of this paper is to define polybags based on their physical characteristics and to analyze the behavior of polybags as they can be found in today’s shipments. This paper especially focuses on the evaluation of the limpness/rigidity and the static and dynamic coefficients of friction (COF) of polybags in comparison to cardboard and kraft paper. The paper also discusses other influencing factors such as weight, velocity and lift.

Abstract With the continuous growth of shipment volumes in the courier, express and parcel (CEP) market, mainly driven by e-commerce, the usage of so-called polybags as packaging material for low-value goods is increasingly replacing conventional cardboard boxes or kraft paper envelopes. Especially in the Asian region the usage of polybags as packaging material can be considered as status quo. Despite their advantages regarding costs, durability or tampering protection, the flexible shape and the material properties of polybags lead to major challenges when being processed with automated material handling technology in logistics distribution centers. Depending on one’s point of view the usage of polybags in the CEP industry can be seen as boon or bane. Another dilemma in conjunction with this kind of packaging material is that there is no precise definition of the term polybag neither in literature, nor in the packaging branch or in the CEP industry. This often leads to wrong interpretations and misunderstandings. The aim of this paper is to define polybags based on their physical characteristics and to analyze the behavior of polybags as they can be found in today’s shipments. This paper especially focuses on the evaluation of the limpness/rigidity and the static and dynamic coefficients of friction (COF) of polybags in comparison to cardboard and kraft paper. The paper also discusses other influencing factors such as weight, velocity and lift. Mit dem kontinuierlichen Wachstum des Sendungsvolumens im Kurier-, Express- und Paketmarkt (KEP), vor allem getrieben durch den E-Commerce, ersetzen sogenannte Polybags zunehmend herkömmliche Kartonagen oder Kraftpapierumschläge als Verpackungsmaterial für geringwertige Güter. Vor allem im asiatischen Raum kann die Verwendung von Polybags als Verpackungsmaterial als Status Quo angesehen werden. Trotz ihrer Vorteile in Bezug auf Kosten, Haltbarkeit oder Manipulationsschutz führen die flexible Form und die Materialeigenschaften von Polybeuteln zu großen Herausforderungen bei der Verarbeitung mit automatisierter Materialflusstechnik in logistischen Distributionszentren. Je nach Betrachtungsweise kann der Einsatz von Polybags in der KEP-Branche als Segen oder Fluch angesehen werden. Eine weitere Schwierigkeit im Zusammenhang mit dieser Art von Verpackungsmaterial ist, dass es weder in der Literatur, noch in der Verpackungsbranche oder in der KEP-Branche eine genaue Definition des Begriffs Polybag gibt. Dies führt oft zu Fehlinterpretationen und Missverständnissen. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, Polybags anhand ihrer physikalischen Eigenschaften zu definieren und das Verhalten von Polybags zu analysieren, wie sie in heutigen Sendungen zu finden sind. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit ist die Bewertung der Schlaffheit/Steifigkeit sowie der Haft- und Gleitreibungskoeffizienten von Polybags im Vergleich zu Karton und Kraftpapier. Darüber hinaus wird auf weitere Einflussfaktoren wie Gewicht, Geschwindigkeit und Auftrieb eingegangen.
