Investing in custom packaging is more than just a cosmetic upgrade—it is a strategic move that can drive record sales. Here is how: Brand differentiation:   In a marketplace saturated with similar products, custom packaging can help your brand stand out from the rest. Unique packaging design, colors, and materials can instantly make a product recognizable and memorable, helping compete for attention on the shelf or even online. Enhanced customer experience:   Custom packaging enhances the unboxing experience, which has become a significant part of the customer journey, especially in the age of social media. An appealing unboxing experience can lead to increased customer satisfaction, positive reviews, and organic word-of-mouth marketing. Reflecting brand identity:   Custom packaging is a direct extension of your brand's identity. It allows for the communication of values, your story, and personality through design elements, thereby reinforcing brand loyalty and recognition.

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 time and effort req

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

Quick Pak Inc’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, long lasting, extremely clear, and have great sealability. The films are clear but can be created 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. They are also used in form, fill, and seal applications as well as pharmaceutical and retail 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 film’s resistance to tears and moisture resistance makes the film one of the most popular worldwide. Chemical resistant:   The film offers a hig

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 film bands h

Turn Your Pallets into Billboards with Printed Stretch Wrap Quick Pak Inc’s custom printed stretch film is printed with specific graphics, logos, or text to identify and promote a particular product or brand. This type of stretch film is commonly used in packaging and shipping operations to secure items on pallets, providing branding and identification while also providing stability and protection during transportation.

We can print YOUR logo or message on the following stretch film: Clear, White Opaque, Black Opaque, All Color Tints. We can print on the following film thickness: 63ga up to 150 ga stretch film. We can slit the film from 2” up to 30” wide and every size in between.

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
