Choosing whether it is better to repair or replace your packaging equipment depends on several factors. Some reasons why you may decide to repair your machinery include: Saving money: Repairing your machine is the most economical option, as you will only have to pay for replacement parts and service fees. You will also save money by not paying increased insurance rates that often come with using a new machine. Minimizing downtime: Replacing a few broken parts, adjusting features to help the equipment work better or adding upgrades for increased productivity will not take long to complete, so you can return to production quicker than other options. Having greater familiarity: Your team members will already know how to operate your current equipment, so you can get right back to production without needing to train them on how to use new machines. There may also be cases when replacing your packaging equipment is the best option for your operations. Several factors that may inf...

  Although many commercial and industrial warehouses that handle pallets daily use semi-automated turntables and overhead stretch wrapping machines as well as robotic/automated stretch wrappers, some businesses still choose to manually wrap. However, few businesses elect to hand-wrap pallets if they pack, wrap and ship in large quantities. It is simply not economical to stretch wrap large pallet amounts by hand. An economy of scale applies when companies choose to machine-wrap their shipments. Manually stretch wrapping is a time-consuming affair. It is slow and tiresome. It is also hazardous for the workers since the strain put on lower backs and limbs significantly increases the likelihood of muscular-skeletal injuries. Worker compensation claims stemming from manually stretch wrapping could easily outweigh the cost of investing in modern and professional stretch wrapping equipment. Manually wrapping pallets is also ineffective at properly securing loads to pallets. Workers ...

BOPP bags are produced by laminating a reverse printed film to a woven fabric which is then manufactured into a bag. The film is stretched in both the machine direction (MD) and across machine direction (AMD). The result is a material with superior strength at low gauges, flatness, clarity, and excellent printability.  This construction is in high demand due to its strength and superior picture-like print quality. Printing is achieved by applying the inks directly onto the film which is adhered to a woven fabric using a laminate coating. BOPP film is reverse printed, resulting in a protected interior print (between the film and laminate/woven fabric) which will not scratch or be easily damaged during normal use.   The BOPP bag’s appeal includes dimensional stability, maximum water resistance, and high impact graphics that improve marketability, as well as optional anti-skid features. Uses of a BOPP Bag:   Since the BOPP bag is so versatile, its list of uses is infi...
