Automating your packaging processes can significantly enhance your operations.

Image
One of the primary benefits of automated packaging systems is the cost savings and efficiency improvements they bring. Automation reduces labor costs and minimizes human errors. Machines handle high order volumes, ensuring quick and accurate packaging. What is the difference between semi-automatic and fully automatic systems? Packaging automation is available with semi-automatic or fully automatic capabilities, which determines how much manual intervention is required by operators. Semi-automatic systems involve a part-manual and part-automated process. For example, a box may be assembled and packed by the operator, but the machine will seal the pack. A fully automatic packaging system will complete the task from start to finish. For example, assembling a box, adding void fill then sealing. Below, you’ll find a range of semi-automated packaging systems that are quick and simple to install. Electronic Gummed Paper Tape Machines: Applying tape manually can account for up to ...

Is there a difference between Smooth or Embossed Polyester Strapping?

Image
When it comes to polyester strapping, a question we're repeatedly asked is what’s the difference between smooth or embossed strapping? PET strapping differences are more than just width, length, thickness, and finish smooth or embossed. But what it all really comes down to is the chemical makeup of the strapping, the quality of resins, machine used, the production process and additives used. So, when we're focusing on smooth and embossed strapping, there actually aren't that many differences - in fact, when most people have had a bad experience with smooth or embossed strapping, the thing they are actually comparing about the strapping types is the composition of it. Embossed strapping is just strapping that has had an embossed roller rolled over it towards the end of the production cycle and had a nice pattern applied to it, that’s it. Now that we know the main differences between smooth and embossed strapping is the chemical makeup, production method and additives...

What Is Stretch Hooding?

Image
  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 5 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 Stretch Hood Film? There are several advantages of using stretch hood film for your packaging needs, including: Improved Load Stability: The tension in the film holds the goods firmly in place, reducing the risk of damage during transit. Highly Durable: Due to its ability to stretch...

Clear, Form-Fitting Packaging. It’s not all the same.

Image
When you open a package, the first thing that comes to mind is probably not what type of packaging it’s in. However, when you’re looking to start packaging your own products, it’s important to know the difference. There are four main types of clear, form-fitting packaging used today: Blister Packaging, Vacuum Packaging, Shrink Wrapping, and Skin Packaging. Today we’ll see the positives and drawbacks of each type–and what kind of products are a good fit. Blister Packaging: We all know this one. Blister packaging is a hard plastic shell put over a product and sealed to a substrate. It is used in a wide range of products from pharmaceuticals to children’s toys. The main appeal of blister packaging among the three is its compartmental style. Pre-formed molds make it easy to dose in the case of pills or parts kits, and it also helps protect products from being crushed during transit. This is why blister is often used for over-the-counter drugs, toys, and electronics. Compared to shrink and ...
