Keep Tools Clean - Following a cleaning schedule for handheld strapping tools when they are not in use will prevent jams and other issues. At least once a week, make sure to blow the tool out with compressed air to prevent debris and dust buildup. It is also recommended to clean the tooth plate and tension wheel with a brass cleaning brush after each shift. Charge Batteries - Battery life can be prolonged by charging batteries before storage. It is also a good habit to get into, so you have freshly charged batteries for the next time you or your team members need the tool. Batteries will have to be replaced eventually, with most lasting up to at least 1,000 charges. User Training - Over 50% of repairs are caused by drops and improper use. Misusing the tool can quickly increase wear and tear. Operator training is an extremely important part of protecting your strapping tool. Use the Right Material - Using steel banding is dangerous and will ruin the tensioning, welding, and cuttin

The four main types of carton sealing tape have advantages and disadvantages. Think about your needs as listed above and choose from these options to match. Acrylic Tape:   This is among the more professional-looking types of packaging tape you can pick up. For this reason, you often find it in use as a branding tape to label boxes with what is inside or the seller’s identity.   It is also a bit of an “everyman” when it comes to packaging. It offers good adhesion on most surfaces, remaining even after prolonged UV exposure, so long as the surface is not too dusty or humid. It even works well on recycled cardboard and similar materials. Acrylic tape does not work as well on heavyweight boxes or those prone to shifting during transport. As such, make sure to only use it on light- to medium-weight packages to prevent losses. Hot Melt Tape:   This is one of the fastest tapes to apply, adhering fast to the surface on which you apply it. It is also one of the strongest tapes when adher

The phrase packaging automation can make a company accountant break out in a cold sweat. It is often viewed as a big investment that will take months, if not years, to see payback. And how long will an automated packing system take to install? Well, not all automation projects are the same. There are entry levels of packaging automation that will help you manage costs, increase throughput, and support accelerated growth. With minimal investment and required setup, you can “plug and play” to reduce packing time in minutes. Quick Pak Inc has identified three automated packing systems that will make a real difference to your eCommerce business. They are quick to install and require minimal investment.

Chipboard cardboard is a cost-effective packaging solution for businesses.  Demand for cost-effective, reliable, and eco-friendly packaging material is constantly growing. Let us take a quick look at the advantages of this increasingly popular product. Thanks to the simplicity of the manufacturing process, chipboard cardboard is cheaper to produce than traditional corrugated card. As well as this significant saving in production costs, the thickness of chipboard also means it is cheaper to transport as it takes up less space than corrugated card or other packaging products that contain a considerable proportion of air. This lack of air also means that, when you are storing the chipboard, it takes up far less space.   Also, as it is a solid sheet rather than a corrugated one, there is a much smaller risk of it being damaged or crushed when being stored before use. Since chipboard is much thinner than corrugated materials, it is far easier to cut and fold to the desired dimensions.

Strapping tools help you to secure products of all shapes, sizes, and bundles throughout the entire shipping and handling process.  With the right tools, strapping is durable, making it the better choice for safely transporting packages and adding stability when stacking pallets for storage. If you are looking to secure pallets or looking to bundle long and heavy products such as lumber, drywall, and pipe, strapping can help. When strapping more sensitive products, such as corrugated boxes and paper, additional edge protection can be used to ensure that the product does not get damaged during shipping and handling. If you are applying strapping to a large volume of loads at your facility, then machine strapping would be the best fit for you. Hand strapping and tools can only get you so far, but when you are looking to add automation and increase your volume, machines are the way to go. Our machines come in different levels of automation (fully automatic and semi-automatic). The

  Quick Pak’s Colored banding film is designed to stick to itself, not the product it’s wrapping. It allows warehouse users to wrap, stack, and secure pallets with ease and peace of mind knowing they won’t come loose. Banding film is ideal for bundling units and helps protect products and packages from damage during transport. https://quickpakinc.com/packaging/stretch-pallet-wrap/banding-film/banding-film-in-colors/ Colored Banding film’s elastic memory means it can stretch significantly from its original length. The film tries to return to its original shape and form after wrapping, resulting in a tight, secure wrap. This process ensures bundles will not come undone or need to be rewrapped during transport. Choose from the most common sizes of banding film available for immediate delivery or customize banding film to various sizes, gauges, and colors as needed. Standard banding film sizes range from 3″ to 5″. However, our technology allows us to provide widths from 1″ to 70”  

Quick Pak’s biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film is a variation of polypropylene and is often used for stickers and labels, among many other uses. BOPP films are also safe and long lasting. The films are clear but can be made with matte or white finishes. Due to the material’s moisture-resistant properties, the film is often used in beverage packaging, medical packaging, and as a tamper evident film. BOPP films are also used for lamination, textbook wrappings, adhesive tapes, and flower packaging. Moisture Resistant: The film is manufactured by a dual oriented system which pulls the film with a cross-directional technique, increasing the film’s stiffness and tensile strength. The films’ resistance to tears and moisture resistance makes the film one of the most popular worldwide. Chemical Resistant: The film offers a high gloss finish and is chemical-resistant. The transparent finish makes the film ideal for the beverage industry and retail packaging. BOPP films are desi

Recent survey revealed 90% of people want to recycle packaging they receive, which is great! However, results also highlighted that not everyone felt confident in doing so. Fourteen percent of respondents said that they were not sure if they could recycle packaging because it was not clearly labelled. Recycling at home is not always straight forward. Rules about what you can recycle change, depending on your location. This means that producers and users of packaging need to do all they can to make sure end consumers can easily recycle packaging at home. So how can businesses who use packaging make it easier for end consumers to recycle packaging? If you are a business that uses packaging, here are three things you can do to encourage recycling and make your packaging more sustainable: Choose packaging materials that can be recycled easily: The environmental impact of your packaging needs to be considered from the start. Factoring recycling into your packaging design is critic

One of the most popular trends in packaging today is the use of tamper-evident shrink bands. Manufacturers use tamper-evident bands most commonly in food and beverage products and are also required to use them for most OTC pharmaceutical products by the FDA. Heat shrinkable tamper-evident seals offer many benefits. Customers want to know that the product is clean and has not been tampered with. Typically, this is done with pre-formed shrink sleeve bands. However, there are some advantages and disadvantages to using pre-formed bands. If your company is small, then using pre-forms may be your only route due to cost, but if you are a medium to high-volume pre-form user, you may benefit from automating the process. For those users, a better way now exists to get the benefit of tamper-evident shrink bands without all the troubles. Let us examine. Pre-formed Shrink Sleeve Bands Normally, a packager will place pre-formed shrink sleeve bands over packages (by hand) to seal and provide tamp

A semi-automatic shrink wrapper accomplishes some parts of the wrapping cycle while still requiring operator intervention. The operator typically places loads on the wrapper and starts the wrapping cycle. Then, the wrapper takes over and wraps the product. Another operator will remove the newly packaged item from the machine. Affordability: A semi-automatic shrink wrapper is typically much more affordable than an automatic machine. It can be a better entry-level solution or a good choice if you need multiple machines on a budget. Flexibility: You can often use a semi-auto shrink wrap machine in many ways. You might mount it on casters to move it around to different parts of the floor or the packaging line or reconfigure it for a new product. If you package multiple types of products and change your packaging line often, a semi-auto shrink wrapper can add flexibility to your operation. Ease of maintenance: Automatic machines are more complex. Semi-automatic equipment can be easie
