What is water-activated tape and how does it work?

Image
Paper Tape:   Also known as “gummed tape” or “Kraft tape,” water-activated tape is made from paper, but reinforced with a network of crisscrossed synthetic fibers to provide extra strength and a water-based adhesive that bonds tightly to the surface of a package. When water is applied to the adhesive – using a tape dispenser – it triggers a capillary action, causing the tape to stick to your carton. Most tape dispensers feed, moisten and cut the tape. And once that tape seals, it forms a permanent bond, like what you would find after licking the adhesive on an envelope. While plastic tape can be peeled back, you will need to rip paper tape to get it open. This makes water-activated paper tape a simple yet highly effective method for preventing pilfering or package tampering. It is impossible for anyone to get the package open without leaving their mark. Paper tape is also a useful packaging tape for businesses whose boxes are filled with softer goods such as clothing, or who sh

What Is Stretch Hooding?

Image
In the packaging, logistics and transportation industry, ensuring the safe and secure delivery of palletized goods is paramount. Among the various packaging methods available, stretch hooding stands out as a highly effective and versatile solution. Stretch hooding is a packaging method commonly used to secure and protect palletized goods. It involves using a stretchable plastic film, known as stretch hood film, which is applied over a load of goods on a pallet. The stretch hood is typically made of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and is designed to fit snugly over all five sides of the pallet load (leaving no open top side), providing stability and protection during handling and transportation. Stretch hood film is a popular choice across many different industries because it provides strong, resilient packaging that adapts to different load shapes and sizes, enhancing protection and stability throughout the supply chain.

Why use Black Stretch Pallet Wrap?

Why use Black Stretch Pallet Wrap? The two main areas that companies use black opaque pallet stretch film are: Most black stretch film has the additive UVI which prolongs the life of stretch film when pallets are stored outside in the sun and weather.  The fact that it is opaque black helps stop the sun from fading the products that are wrapped inside the pallet. The other area is pilferage.  Companies wrap their pallets in black stretch film so the pallet handlers at the freight companies do not know what the product is.  The old story “out of site out of mind” If the pallet arrives at the destination and something is missing; it is easy to see where the pallet was opened. Quick Pak Inc has the largest selection of Opaque Security Films in stock.  We stock both black and white opaque in both machine film lengths and hand film lengths. 20” wide black and white opaque machine films (64 and 80ga). 15” and 18” width Hand films (64, 80 and 115ga).

WrapNet is a Soft Knitted Netting for Pallet Wrapping.

Image
  WrapNet Stretch Netting is 20" wide and available in 3000, 5000 and 10,000 feet rolls.  It is a machine grade netting ideal for wrapping items that needs ventilation and helps prevent condensation.  It reduces rust, by allowing more air flow than standard stretch wrap. Extremely effective in wrapping and bundling.  It is lighter weight than conventional wrap which reduces costs and creates less stress on the lower back while wrapping.  The primary use is for stabilizing pallets and allowing the the product inside to breath.    Problem solving scenarios: Problem:   Products are boxed and palletized when still warm.   Condensation forms on the inside of the stretch film and deteriorates the boxes. Solution:   Place pallets in cool down/holding area for 24 to 36 hours or wrap the pallets in WrapNet and eliminate the time and expense of the holding area. Problem:   A product has excessive moisture when produced and has to "cure" prior to being stretch wrapped. S

Advantages of Reviewing your Stretch Film

Image
Whilst your stretch film might seem like a straightforward packaging product, there is a lot more to it than meets the eye!  We bet that most of the time, you just look at how much you are paying for a roll of stretch film.  On face value, you might think you are getting the best deal if you get a cheaper roll price – yet there are lots more you should consider. For example, you might be using an expensive, high specification stretch film but might not need to. Instead, you could swap it to a lower micron engineered film to make savings. But, how do you know you are using the right film? With a stretch film application check, we will review: -The amount of film you are using. -How effectively your film stretches. -How much it currently costs you to wrap a pallet. -The current tension of your film & pallet load stability. -The specification of the film you are using & your current application method. Once we have evaluated all the information, we will recommend t

How a Powered Prestretch Carriage Works

Image
Why Replace Pre-Stretch Rollers?     Have you ever seen pre-stretch represented as a percentage and wondered ‘What does that really mean?’ If you are just getting familiar with pallet wrap lingo, you might not know what it means when a stretch wrapper boasts “variable pre-stretch up to 450%” or why that is such a great feature. When a stretch wrapper is used to apply stretch film to a pallet, the film is elongated using a pre-stretch carriage on a wrapper. The film gets pulled between the rollers, thus stretched prior to being applied to the load. This is called pre-stretch. Why is this important? Film that is stretched properly will hold the load more securely, be more cost effective, and lead to a more productive plant. This is because properly maintained pre-stretch tends to minimize film breaks when wrapping skids. As you can see, there are a variety of reasons why you would want to replace your pre-stretch rollers. What are some signs that your rollers need to be replace

Pallet Sheets for Added Product Protection

Image
Stabilize product and pallets in transit with our chipboard sheets.  When shipping boxes, the protection of the contents is paramount. If you ship your own product, you will know that there are various packaging solutions you can use to ensure safety and security – but have you ever considered chipboard sheets? Standard sheet is sized (40″ x 48″) and is easy to reuse and recycle. If you are shipping products that require extra stabilization due to being particularly heavy or fragile, you will find it easy to use sheets. Simply stack your boxes on the pallet and position the sheets in between each layer, keeping the boxes in place. Sheets act as a barrier between product and pallet whilst providing a stable base for secure stacking.   Many pallet users have concerns regarding contamination from mold and dust inherent in wooden pallets migrating upwards through the stacked products. These pallet sheets are an excellent barrier to prevent such migration by isolating the stacked produc
