Using The Right Stretch Film

Image
If the correct film is dialed in, there are many benefits. Reduced damage is one.   10% of all shipments arrive damaged.   Stretch film works like a tight hug for palletized goods, keeping them securely in place during transportation. It minimizes the risk of shifting and damage that can occur due to bumps or jostling during shipping. Another advantage is the protection it provides against the elements. Stretch film acts as a shield, keeping dirt, dust, and moisture away from your goods. This is especially important when shipping products that are sensitive to environmental factors. When it comes to sustainability, there are two things that support environmental efforts right now.   The first is that manufacturers have made significant inroads in developing stretch wrap with 25% PCR content.   And the second is that the technology used in newer high-performance films, when dialed in correctly, do not require as much film to be applied to secure loads. Reduced film means reduces c

Why Preventative Maintenance is Important

Image
Packaging plays a vital role in today’s fast-paced business landscape, ensuring product protection, preservation, and presentation. As the packaging industry continues to grow and adapt to changing market demands, it is crucial for companies to stay on top of preventative maintenance in relation to their end of line packaging equipment. Why is preventative maintenance (PM) important for businesses? It is important because it ensures that equipment operates at its peak efficiency and has a longer lifespan. It minimizes unexpected breakdowns, prevents costly repairs, and ensures consistent throughput. Without regular checks and upkeep, even the most robust machines can experience wear and tear, leading to unscheduled downtimes that can affect overall production. In other words, preventative maintenance is a proactive approach that ensures machinery operates efficiently and ultimately saves money in the long run. Many businesses often overlook the need for preventative maintenance,

Check that all emergency stops are deactivated – This is another simple fix that could save you some down time if you check it. 3. Check that the safety switches have not been activated – You should always check this before escalating the matter or calling a service technician. 4.

Defining Sustainable Packaging.

Image
What does sustainable packaging mean? It is packaging that considers sustainability and minimizes environmental impact throughout its lifecycle.  For packaging to be considered sustainable, the design, manufacturing, use and disposal or repurposing of the packaging must consider everything from the raw materials it is made from through to the carbon emissions associated with the packaging and even how it is handled.   If you are wondering if the packaging, you are considering is environmentally friendly, it is worth noting these characteristics: Material used:   Packaging that is sustainable often centers around renewable and recyclable materials like paper, cardboard, and bioplastics. Eco-friendly materials are characterized by being responsibly sourced and having a lower carbon footprint. Waste reduction:   Packaging that can be easily recycled or composted and optimizing packaging design to reduce excess material usage will make it even more sustainable. Energy and fuel e

Measurements in Packaging.

Image
In various industries, ranging from manufacturing to packaging, understanding and being able to convert different units of measurement for material thickness is essential - common units used for this purpose are gauge, micron, and millimeter. Whether you are dealing with polythene films or other materials, having a dependable conversion guide can streamline processes and ensure accuracy in measurements. Converting Measurements Using a Conversion Table: Polyethylene gauge (ga) can be converted to micron (mu) by dividing it by 4, and the thickness in millimeters (mm) can be determined by dividing the micron value by 1000. An example of this would be 50mu equaling 200ga, which is equivalent to 0.05mm. The thickness of your polythene can range from ultra-light (typically between 32-50ga) to super heavy (1000-1200ga), so it is important to make accurate calculations. Our conversion table below states how each measurement converts to another, enabling you to make informed decisions and

Sanstrap Pallet Bands from Quick Pak Inc

Image
Sanstrap® is a pallet banding solution to secure the top layer of a pallet, providing a quick and easy way to stabilize a pallet for intra-plant movement. Because of its ease of use, there is a tremendous savings in labor and time when compared to alternative products such as stretch film, tape, rubber bands, and twine. Benefits of Sanstrap :   Sanstrap can be applied rapidly–in nine seconds or less. Ease of application directly reduces labor costs. Recyclable:   The product itself is recyclable and can be less expensive than its alternatives. However, cost savings are found primarily in its reduction of labor costs. Durable:   Like stretch film, Sanstrap is made from polyethylene. These bands are highly durable and stretchable. The material results in enormous tensile strength and elasticity. Additional Benefits: It doesn’t cling, so it’s easily moved up or down to secure pallets in any situation. No special handling is required, and it will not damage products. There is

How much stretch wrap are you wasting per pallet?

Image
Are you using more stretch wrap than you should? The right pallet wrapping solution can reduce plastic usage by 50%. Through cutting-edge innovation, we have a high-performance stretch wrap with superior stretch yield and puncture resistance compared to conventional films. You can wrap more pallets with less film with our Thinner, Stronger and Longer’ range of films. Many consumers are unaware of how much money they are wasting with an inefficient pallet wrapping method. The common misconception is that thicker film is stronger because previously pallet wrapping films were only available in 70 to 115 ga thickness with very low stretch yield and strength. Most know exactly what price they are paying per roll of film but do not know what the total cost is to wrap each pallet. Buying pallet stretch wrap at a low cost per roll does not mean it is more economical. There has been a concentration on the raw roll cost rather than the length and yield of stretch film. With our Thinner,

Why Use High Performance Stretch Film

Image
In the world of logistics and supply chain management, efficiency is the name of the game. But pallet wrap might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you are thinking about how to optimize your operation. Enter high performance stretch film… The right stretch film can often be the key to unlocking improvements. However, the challenge lies in finding the delicate balance between reducing the thickness of your pallet wrap and maintaining adequate load containment. High performance stretch film is an innovative category of pallet wrap that has a much lower thickness than traditional film but provides a high level of performance.   Traditionally, thicker stretch films were considered essential to provide sufficient strength and stability for wrapping pallets. However, advances in technology have paved the way for thinner performance films. High performance pallet wrap enables businesses to wrap more pallets with less film without sacrificing effective load containment. One
