Revolution pallet stretch wrappers are a popular choice for businesses looking to improve their packaging efficiency and protect their products during shipping. Here's why: Increased efficiency: Revolution stretch wrappers automate the wrapping process, which is much faster and more consistent than hand-wrapping. This can significantly increase productivity and reduce labor costs. Improved load containment: The consistent tension and overlap provided by a stretch wrapper creates a tighter, more secure wrap than hand-wrapping. This helps to prevent loads from shifting or being damaged during transport. Reduced material costs: Stretch wrappers can pre-stretch the film, which means you use less film per pallet. This can lead to significant cost savings over time. Improved safety: Stretch wrappers reduce the risk of workplace injuries associated with hand-wrapping, such as back strain and repetitive motion injuries. Professional appearance: A neatly wrapped pallet looks m...

  What are the different types of protective film, and what are the differences between them? LDPE, or low-density polyethylene is the most common type of protective film. It is made from polyethylene, which is the most common type of plastic. As you might guess from the name, there is also a high-density version of polyethylene (HDPE), which is heavier, less flexible, and less elastic—and therefore, not as useful for making protective film. LDPE film comes in a variety of types, which allows it to be used for many different applications. COEX, or Co-Ex LDPE, is short for co-extruded low-density polyethylene. Co-extrusion means that two or more layers of plastic are created simultaneously and formed together into a single sheet of film. For example, one common co-ex combines a layer of black plastic with a top layer of white plastic. This allows you to take advantage of the different characteristics of each layer, such as combining UV reflection (white) with UV absorption (blac...

What is flow wrapping , and what types of films are available in the market for this packaging method?

This method is highly efficient for a wide range of applications, offering a tight and protective barrier. It is particularly advantageous for fresh produce, as it preserves freshness and extends shelf life – think of the three-count packs of peppers you might find at your local grocery store.

A "custom box" is generally considered better than a "stock box" when you want to enhance your brand image, create a unique customer experience, and precisely fit your product, but a stock box is a better option if you're on a tight budget or need packaging quickly, as it's cheaper and readily available in standard sizes;.

  There are many reasons why water activated tape has seen a resurgence in popularity.  The driving force of its popularity is the growing demand for package shipping.  When it comes to securing packages, nothing beats the strength of water-activated tape. Unlike plastic tapes that only sit on the surface of a box, WAT penetrates the fibers of the corrugated cardboard, forming a secure bond. This bond not only enhances the strength of the package. Security – no shipper wants their package to be tampered with. Today, shippers are sending all types of items including foods, pharmaceuticals, valuable electronics, and many other sensitive items.   The tamper evident closure of water activated tape assures the box stays closed until intentionally opened.   Security of closure is the #1 reason water activated tape is used today for eCommerce packages. Branding – The appearance of your eCommerce packaging is statement about your brand.   Do you value your c...
