Supply chain management serves as the backbone of seamless product delivery. In the process from manufacturer to end consumer, the understated yet vital component is packaging. Its role stretches far beyond the containment of goods and as industries evolve and consumer expectations rise, understanding the significance of packaging within the supply chain is imperative. The role of packaging in the supply chain and highlight its importance within that journey. What is the supply chain? The supply chain is the journey that a product goes on, starting with the manufacturer and ending with the consumer. It often comprises a network of companies, employees and locations and seeks to create a seamless end-to-end process despite the many different stages. Why is packaging so important to the supply chain? Packaging is vital to the success of the supply chain. If insufficient packaging is used to contain a product, it could become damaged in transit or storage. This will lead to unsa

In the world of packaging, versatility and durability are key factors.  Polythene and shrink film have become indispensable materials for packaging companies in both retail and industrial sectors. Understanding these materials is crucial for businesses seeking cost-effective, and robust packaging solutions. Here we will dive into the world of polythene packaging and shrink film , exploring their uses, benefits, and what makes shrink film a valuable choice. Polythene plastic is the most widely used plastic in the world. It is part of the polyolefin family of plastic resins. It is made primarily from ethylene, a type of hydrocarbon. It comes in various forms, including low-density polythene (LDPE), high-density polythene (HDPE), and low-density polythene (LLDPE), each offering unique characteristics suitable for different applications. You will find low density polyethylene (LDPE) is commonly found in many packaging products, such as carrier bags and stretch film, as well as bubble

In the world of packaging, the debate between steel and poly strapping is a perennial one. Both materials offer distinct advantages, but which one is right for your specific needs? Steel Strapping: The Sturdy Classic Strength and Durability: Steel strapping is renowned for its high tensile strength. This makes it perfect for securing heavy loads or those that might shift during transport. If you are shipping items like machinery or large industrial components, steel is often the go-to choose. Weather Resistance: Steel strapping can withstand extreme conditions, from intense heat to biting cold. Its resistance to rust and corrosion, especially when galvanized, ensures that your package remains secure in varying environments. Cost: Steel strapping tends to be more expensive than its poly counterpart. However, for certain applications, the investment is justified by the security it provides. Polyester Strapping: The Versatile Contender Flexibility: Unlike steel, polyester stra

Air-Flow pallet wrap is a stretch film with die cut holes for ventilation. Air-Flow is a proven alternative that services the agricultural, industrial and manufacturing industries. Air-Flow comes in two die cut variations: Air-Flow Standard Film and Air-Flow Premium. Air-Flow meets many industry challenges. Condensation: Air-Flow permits condensation to leave the pallet, thus protecting the packaged goods and other packaging materials (labels, printed display cartons). Even Cooling: Die cut holes allows products to cool evenly and remain the same temperature throughout the pallet. Vent holes allow the product to cool faster which reduces cooling costs. Reduce Spoilage: Regular stretch film blocks cool air from entering the pallet and keeps humidity from escaping. Internal heat build-up contributes to spoilage during storage and transit. Waste Reduction: The unique design, recyclability and film weight of Air-Flow establishes it as a viable source reduction solver. Air-Flow

Convenience features in shrink sleeves have become increasingly popular in recent years. Adding these features provides a better consumer experience and addresses several practical needs. Here is an expanded discussion on how shrink sleeves are used to add convenience features to packaging: Easy-Open Perforations: Shrink sleeves with easy-open perforations are designed to simplify the process of accessing the product within. These perforations are strategically placed to create a predetermined opening point. Consumers can tear open the packaging without the need for scissors or sharp objects, making it more user-friendly. This feature is particularly beneficial for products like snack foods, pet treats, and personal care items where quick and effortless access is appreciated. Peel and Reveal Labels: Shrink sleeves can also incorporate "peel and reveal" labels, which are multi-layered labels with an additional layer that can be peeled away to reveal more information or fea

Keep Tools Clean - Following a cleaning schedule for handheld strapping tools when they are not in use will prevent jams and other issues. At least once a week, make sure to blow the tool out with compressed air to prevent debris and dust buildup. It is also recommended to clean the tooth plate and tension wheel with a brass cleaning brush after each shift. Charge Batteries - Battery life can be prolonged by charging batteries before storage. It is also a good habit to get into, so you have freshly charged batteries for the next time you or your team members need the tool. Batteries will have to be replaced eventually, with most lasting up to at least 1,000 charges. User Training - Over 50% of repairs are caused by drops and improper use. Misusing the tool can quickly increase wear and tear. Operator training is an extremely important part of protecting your strapping tool. Use the Right Material - Using steel banding is dangerous and will ruin the tensioning, welding, and cuttin

The four main types of carton sealing tape have advantages and disadvantages. Think about your needs as listed above and choose from these options to match. Acrylic Tape:   This is among the more professional-looking types of packaging tape you can pick up. For this reason, you often find it in use as a branding tape to label boxes with what is inside or the seller’s identity.   It is also a bit of an “everyman” when it comes to packaging. It offers good adhesion on most surfaces, remaining even after prolonged UV exposure, so long as the surface is not too dusty or humid. It even works well on recycled cardboard and similar materials. Acrylic tape does not work as well on heavyweight boxes or those prone to shifting during transport. As such, make sure to only use it on light- to medium-weight packages to prevent losses. Hot Melt Tape:   This is one of the fastest tapes to apply, adhering fast to the surface on which you apply it. It is also one of the strongest tapes when adher

Chipboard cardboard is a cost-effective packaging solution for businesses.  Demand for cost-effective, reliable, and eco-friendly packaging material is constantly growing. Let us take a quick look at the advantages of this increasingly popular product. Thanks to the simplicity of the manufacturing process, chipboard cardboard is cheaper to produce than traditional corrugated card. As well as this significant saving in production costs, the thickness of chipboard also means it is cheaper to transport as it takes up less space than corrugated card or other packaging products that contain a considerable proportion of air. This lack of air also means that, when you are storing the chipboard, it takes up far less space.   Also, as it is a solid sheet rather than a corrugated one, there is a much smaller risk of it being damaged or crushed when being stored before use. Since chipboard is much thinner than corrugated materials, it is far easier to cut and fold to the desired dimensions.

Strapping tools help you to secure products of all shapes, sizes, and bundles throughout the entire shipping and handling process.  With the right tools, strapping is durable, making it the better choice for safely transporting packages and adding stability when stacking pallets for storage. If you are looking to secure pallets or looking to bundle long and heavy products such as lumber, drywall, and pipe, strapping can help. When strapping more sensitive products, such as corrugated boxes and paper, additional edge protection can be used to ensure that the product does not get damaged during shipping and handling. If you are applying strapping to a large volume of loads at your facility, then machine strapping would be the best fit for you. Hand strapping and tools can only get you so far, but when you are looking to add automation and increase your volume, machines are the way to go. Our machines come in different levels of automation (fully automatic and semi-automatic). The
