Polypropylene tape is often the sticking point for businesses wanting plastic-free packaging. After all, it’s cheap, effective, and familiar. However, kraft paper tape is an excellent alternative now available that is fully recyclable, removing any uncertainty around putting out an entire package, complete with tape, for collection. Plastic tape is non-recyclable and whilst small portions are permitted to pass through a recycling plant, larger quantities can cause considerable sorting difficulties, slowing the operation and making it more expensive to sort and recycle. Water Activated Gummed Tape: Our Gummed Tape is an eco-friendly paper tape with a water activated adhesive. This tape contains organic starch glue which forms a formidable bond with cardboard surfaces. Available in both white and brown, the water activated tape comes in regular and reinforced grades. Reinforced water activated tapes feature cross-woven filaments for extra strength, making it a solid choice for sealing ...

This makes the sheet versatile, especially in high moisture environments. It is available in a limited range of widths, mostly centering around 48 inches. Gypsum varies in caliper; however, it is the most cost-effective product used for pallet covers.  This product is used as a barrier to protect products from being damaged by pallet splinters and nail heads as well as used for interleaving purposes.  The standard sheet size is 40×48 but can be produced in other sizes.

Pallet jack scales (also known as forklift scales, pallet truck scales, or pump truck scales) are devices used to weigh and transport pallets. They enable users to weigh and relocate oversized pallets concurrently, saving time and making transportation more convenient. Pallet truck scales are commonly used to weigh pallets before loading them into a means of transport. These devices can also be an affordable and efficient substitute to a platform scale and forklift truck for weighing and carrying pallets around a factory, store, depot, or medium enterprises. Advantages Of Pallet Truck Scales Saves Time: When using a pallet truck scale, commodities can be weighed from point A to point B. This eliminates the time-consuming process of depositing goods on an immobile platform scale and transporting them to dispatch zones. In addition, Pallet jack scales reduce the requirement for many employees to undertake stock inspections. This is partly owing to how simple the technology is to...

Most shipping departments handle a large volume of different load sizes daily. A small order may head off to one customer, while a much larger batch of products moves out to another plant. As a result, your team is always strapping, wrapping, and palletizing loads. You, in turn, are always looking for ways to make operations more efficient. A stretch wrap turntable could be the solution you are seeking. A Stretch Wrap Turntable Saves You Time: If you have not already invested in a stretch wrap turntable, you may want to consider it to speed up operations and save time. The turntable will save you time because it automates some of the tasks your team is completing by hand. Rather than someone grabbing the stretch film and manually wrapping the pallet, the turntable does it automatically. This reduces the time and effort your team must put into wrapping each load. It is more efficient, which means you can move more pallets through more quickly. Your team can get more done in les...

Corrugated boxes are made of paperboard as opposed to the typical cardboard, and have air-filled ruffles, also known as flutes, running throughout them. The ruffles give the boxes a sturdier design and more durability. There are four primary types of corrugated boxes: Single face: A much weaker material consisting of stacking only 1-2 sheets of liner board. Single wall: The standard box type strengthened with 2 sheets of glued liner board. Double wall: A heavy-duty box strengthened with 3 sheets of glued liner board. Triple wall: An industrial-weight box strengthened with 4 sheets of liner board holding up to 100 Lbs. Single-face: Used less for the outer box, and more for cushioning and protecting the product inside the main box. On the other hand, triple wall boxes are almost exclusively used for heavy, industrial materials. Single and double wall corrugated boxes are the main types of boxes used in shipping. So, what is the difference between single and double wall...

Many people live “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Often, they misinterpret this to mean that you should wait until a machine or strapping tool breaks to do any maintenance on it.  While you cannot always prevent repairs, you can usually avoid major breakdowns and lost productivity by doing just a little preventive maintenance. Here is how taking a few small steps to maintain your strapping tools can save you both time and money. Every machine will eventually need maintenance and repair. For strapping tools in your workplace, tensioners, cutters, and sealers may need attention. Important parts such as motor bearings might need to be replaced after so many cycles from wear and tear. Wear and tear are unavoidable, but it does not mean you have to wait for the tool to stop working before running maintenance. In fact, replacing parts and cleaning the tool on a regular basis help keep it in good order. Preventive maintenance helps you avoid major breakdowns, where the tool stops ...

Filament Tape for Top Banding Pallets Filament tape is a strong, pressure-sensitive tape used for a variety of packaging functions such as closing corrugated cartons, reinforcing packages, bundling materials, and pallet unitizing. It is often used in packaging, shipping, and warehousing industries.   Filament tape is typically made from polypropylene or polyester film and reinforced with fiberglass filaments. The fiberglass filaments give the tape high tensile strength and make it resistant to tearing and breaking.   Here are some of the benefits of using filament tape for banding tops of pallets: High tensile strength: Filament tape is very strong and can withstand a lot of force without breaking. This makes it ideal for securing heavy loads on pallets.   Tear resistance: Filament tape is resistant to tearing, even when it is nicked or punctured. This helps to ensure that the load remains secure during transport.   Abrasion resistance: Filament tape is r...

  Rust and corrosion can be expensive, challenging problems for businesses that ship metal parts or products. Once corrosion sets in, metal surfaces not only lose their shiny, pristine look, but they also lose their structural integrity and can weaken significantly. Why is Rust Prevention Packaging Important?   Rust prevention packaging is important for a couple of reasons. Simply put, it is a rust mitigator. It minimizes the chances of moisture or humidity entering the packaging and causing rust on your metal components or products.   In doing so, this packaging supports the product’s aesthetic look and quality. It enhances customer satisfaction and ensures corrosion does not lead to expensive repair requirements. You now know that metal products often require VCI packaging to remain rust-free. It is also the case that several industries frequently need VCI packaging and use them extensively. Here are three examples of industries that use this solution. Electronics...

Packaging plays a vital role in today’s fast-paced business landscape, ensuring product protection, preservation, and presentation. As the packaging industry continues to grow and adapt to changing market demands, it is crucial for companies to stay ahead and offer exceptional packaging solutions. The tape used in packaging is more than just an adhesive, it is a critical component that ensures the security and integrity of the package during transit.
