Paper packaging materials are produced from a valuable substance called cellulose which is extracted from trees. These packaging materials are durable, easy to treat and lightweight for cargo shipment. They can be made to fold flat for storage and shipping and they can be fluted for extra protection and cushioning. Paper packaging materials are very versatile, made from natural fibers and can be molded into various shapes and sizes. This makes the use of paper sheets very popular in industries such as hospitality, retail, healthcare, leisure and food industries where they have aseptic and direct food contact applications. Benefits of Paper Sheet Packaging:   Their use offers distinct economic advantages. Modern technological advancement in paper manufacturing has led to the production of lighter, thinner, and yet durable, more robust packing materials even while utilizing less quantity of raw materials for production. Various types are used for producing packaging materials. ...

There are different types of case and carton erectors available on the market. We separate them into two categories: Semi-automatic case erectors:   They require some manual intervention, typically in loading flat boxes into the system. Once loaded, the case erector automates the process of erecting and sealing the boxes. Often, semi-automatic carton erectors can be a good first step for box automation. They can sometimes be used as a stand-alone machine, to help with easy packing, or paired with a case sealer. Automatic case erectors:   Fully automated, this type of carton erector performs the entire box assembly process without the need for manual input. Automated carton erectors often offer case sealers that can use glue or tape. They are highly efficient, reducing labor requirements and increasing overall productivity.   This type of erector is good for higher-demand environments. Speed and Efficiency:   Automatic carton erectors drastically reduce the ...

Below is a quick run-through of the types of strapping and their suitability: Polypropylene Strapping: If the product you are strapping is quite light, you could use Polypropylene strapping as it is an economical option designed for securing light shipments such as your single cartons. It is the most common type of strapping, available in different dimensions, and can easily be applied manually. Polyester (PET) Strapping: This is the strongest type of plastic strapping available with impressive elongation and recovery characteristics. Due to its design, it offers very tight packaging and is capable of resisting pressure or harsh weather conditions. Polyester (PET) Strapping is light, flexible, and can be used in place of steel strapping due to its strength. It can be applied using manual tools. Poly Woven Strapping: This strapping solution is highly effective and suitable for a wide range of industrial uses due to its rigidity. As the name implies, it consists of filaments wov...

BOPP films are also safe, long lasting, extremely clear, and have great sealability. The films are clear but can be created with matte or white finishes.

Every packaging line is unique, so the right shrink wrapping solution differs for each operation. Many businesses look for qualities like consistency and speed, but you will also need to consider how your shrink wrap machine affects safety and labor demands and how it integrates with the rest of your line. Semi-automatic and fully automatic shrink-wrapping machines come in different styles that tend to fit certain applications better than others. Let us explore the difference between semi-automatic and automatic shrink wrap machines. Semi-Automatic Shrink Wrap Machines: 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. These semi-autos shrink wrap machines work well for reduced throughput rates. Depending o...

Halves plastic usage:  Use more sustainable packaging solutions and help save our environment. Airflow Pallet Wrap uses less than half the amount of plastic required to wrap a pallet compared to regular pallet wrapping methods. Reduces cool room electricity costs: Airflow Ventilated stretch wrap is perfect for wrapping loads that require fast cooling. Regular stretch wrap acts as an insulation for the load, increasing cooling time. Wrapping pallets with ventilated stretch wrap allows air to flow through the pallet, cooling the load faster. With ventilated stretch wrap, freezer temperature is not required to be as low, therefore reducing electricity costs. Reduces damaged product with improved load ventilation:   More than 50% of pallet load damage is due to ineffective pallet wrapping, costing companies millions per year. The load containment force of Airflow Ventilated stretch wrap is significantly more than conventional ventilated films due to the cable like stretch fil...

If you store pallets of products outside or have products that may be sensitive to sunlight, Quick Pak’s UV stabilized stretch wrap film can offer the additional protection you need. Even if you do not intend on storing pallets of products outside, it is always good to use UV stabilized stretch wrap. Normal stretch wrap as well as the product underneath can be broken down by the UV radiation when stored outdoor. In fact, most stretch films that are not UV stabilized will start to degrade within 30 days of outdoor storage. Because of its exceptional ability to withstand the sun's UV rays and protect the underlying products, you can find UV stabilized stretch wrap used across an array of industries and applications, including: -Construction industry and construction sites. -Landscaping industry to protect pavers and fencing. -Building industry products, such as bricks, cement, tiles, etc. -Bagged products stored outside for extended use. Let us take a closer look at ho...
