The two external layers, which are known as twin-wall plastic sheeting due to their uniform design and parallel positions, hold together an internal layer of honeycomb-shaped plastic. This makes corrugated plastic sheets one of the most lightweight, versatile, and shock-absorbent plastic materials on the market. Polypropylene is an extremely sturdy thermoplastic polymer with a neutral pH that allows it to withstand all kinds of external temperature, weather, and usage conditions for long periods of time with minimal wear and tear. The extruded plastic sheets are cut and then assembled into totes or boxes for storing and carrying items, dividers to organize items inside boxes and totes, and custom die-cut sheets to protect specialty items. The durability of these containers makes them great for shipping, storage, and warehouse applications across industries. Additionally, the material is lightweight, lowering shipping costs, and easily customized for your organization’s specific needs...

Even when it’s done correctly, wrapping can be a difficult and strenuous job for your employees. This is especially true when your team is still wrapping by hand. Hand wrapping is a common cause of back injuries and is associated with other risks. Switching to a stretch wrapper could help your team stay safer. These machines include safety features designed to protect operators and reduce the number of injuries on the floor. When your team is trained to use them, they can improve safety and productivity. Stretch Wrappers Reduce Back Strain and Injuries: Back injuries are relatively common in plants that still use hand-wrapping processes. Your team members must complete several tasks that can cause strain, such as bending over and reaching down, carrying a 10-pound roll of film, and pulling with enough force to tie the pallet together. Hand wrapping is also connected with repetitive motion injuries, one of the most common safety hazards in the warehouse. A Revolution stretch wrap...

Polyethylene Foam is a soft, durable, lightweight, closed cell material. Its closed cell structure offers a protective packaging material with resistance to shock and vibration, as well as moisture and chemicals, preventing the growth of bacteria and mold. Polyethylene foam is a popular packaging material because of its high strength and tear resistance. It can absorb impacts and return to form after compression, with high resilience properties it can be stored for years in a compressed state and still return to its original form. Polyethylene foam can be used to cushion, protect and insulate items in a similar way to bubble wrap.                              Polyethylene foam is a lightweight and thin material offering high levels of protection from scratches and scrapes. It is also used as a shock absorber to resist impact or as void fill in...

In the construction industry, packaging plays a pivotal role in ensuring materials such as bricks, timber and other heavy items are secure for transit. The transportation of these materials demands not only durability but also stability to prevent damage and delays. PAC High Strength Polyester emerged as a game-changer, offering innovative strapping solutions tailored to meet the packaging demands of the construction sector. Traditionally, steel strapping was the go-to choice for securing heavy construction materials. Its robust nature provided the strength required to keep packages stable during transportation. However, recent advancements in technology have introduced high-strength polyester strapping as a viable alternative. These materials are lighter, more cost-effective, offer greater pack retained tension and easier to handle, without compromising on the stability or security required for heavy loads. Additionally, they are manufactured using 100% recycled content and are 100%...

Has your business thought about making some sustainable changes for 2025? If you want to be a more environmentally friendly business in 20252, swap plastic for paper with these few sustainable changes to transform your packaging. Swap from plastic tape to sustainable paper tape: This is always one of the first sustainable packaging swaps we recommend because it’s such a simple change! Ditching plastic tape and using paper tape to seal your boxes is an instant win as you’re automatically eliminating one category of plastic from your packing materials. Paper tape is available as both self-adhesive and water-activated versions, and it creates a strong and secure seal. Due to its strength, you can often use much less paper tape compared to plastic. So, this reduces your use of packaging material overall. Paper tape is 100% recyclable too, which means there’s no need to remove it from boxes before recycling.   This makes it much easier for end-consumers to recycle at home. Using paper...

In the packaging industry, pre-stretched films have emerged as a game-changer for industries seeking efficient, cost-effective, and secure packaging solutions. With its unique properties and advantages, pre-stretched film has gained widespread recognition across various sectors. What Is Pre-Stretched Film? Pre-stretched film is a specialized type of packaging material which is used across many industries to secure and stabilize loads on pallets during transportation or storage. Unlike traditional stretch wrap, which requires manual stretching during the application, pre-stretched film is manufactured with an inherent stretch, and it is wound onto rolls, reducing the effort needed during wrapping. Despite being much thinner than traditional stretch wrap, it contains similar strength parameters, meaning it weighs less - approximately ⅔ less - but is just as durable. Pre-stretched films are beneficial in industries such as: Manufacturing: Securing raw materials and finished goods...

Why preventative maintenance?  It is important because it ensures that equipment operates at its peak efficiency and has a longer lifespan. It minimizes unexpected breakdowns, prevents costly repairs, and ensures consistent throughput. Without regular checks and upkeep, even the most robust stretch wrappers can experience wear and tear, leading to unscheduled downtimes that can affect overall production. In other words, preventative maintenance is a proactive approach that ensures machinery operates efficiently and ultimately saves money in the long run. Businesses tend to overlook preventative maintenance, and this oversight can have far-reaching consequences. Firstly, as already mentioned, there’s the immediate risk of equipment failure, which can halt production and lead to significant financial losses. Secondly, prolonged neglect can also result in irreversible damage, requiring expensive replacements. Moreover, if you really think about it, inconsistent machine performance m...

STRETCH FILM SLITTING APPLICATION Packaging in the Food, Pharma, or Agricultural Industry is not always easy. Two main issues are: Wrapping products when it is still warm (ex: dog food, sauces, soups, yogurt). Products that need to breathe (ex: fruits, vegetables, eggs, plants). You can’t apply traditional wrapping to those specific applications without the risk of damaging the load during the transport due to moisture and condensation forming between the load and the wrap. Tin and caps arrive corroded, labels are discolored, card box boxes moldy and soggy which can result in poor presentation and in many cases unfit for consumption. THE SOLUTION To solve this problem Phoenix engineered and developed the Breath Easy Stretch Film Slitter. This feature provides a cost-effective solution where air flow is required to help prevent condensation from building up under the stretch film. The Breath Easy stretch film slitting system slices the film into 3 or more individual bands than can...
