  Coordinate with the shipping company.   Ensure that you thoroughly consider when the package will arrive before packaging your products for shipment. A good practice to prevent temperature fluctuations is to keep packages in a refrigerated environment before shipping. Be aware of the temperatures your shipment will encounter during transit. The internet can be used to monitor national and global temperatures. It’s good to look for anomalies in weather so you will not be surprised by unseasonable weather. Keep in mind that temperatures differ substantially depending on the time of year and shipping location. The best companies available monitor the weather daily. Inform the recipient of the delivery time. Ahead of shipment, make sure that the recipient will be available to accept and store the goods in a refrigerated environment or otherwise accept and use them. Provide accurate delivery times so they can plan to be available. If the recipient cannot be available when th...

  Corrugated plastic sheets have a wavy inner layer for structural stability, like corrugated cardboard. 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. Lightweight & Durable: Color-coded corrugated plastic containers are an easy and affordable method of organization that can be customized to your existing system or considered when designing new warehouse systems. Totes and boxes made of this material are highly stackable, especially when reinforced with steel, helping you get the most out of your warehouse space. Corrugated inserts can also help create a protective li...

Benefits of using color tinted stretch banding film in warehouse and manufacturing operations. By implementing colored stretch film, companies can color-code their pallets in a variety of ways. They could organize them by date, product type, shipping location, or even use a color as a unique branding opportunity for the product. Warehouse staff don’t need to rely on any additional labeling products, meaning they can save time, money, and energy. Colored stretch film is also extremely visible, making intentional or unintentional damage more readily identifiable while providing an element of privacy to the pallet’s contents. Denoting by color: To get the most out of colored stretch film, employees should be educated on what each color means. When each definition becomes second nature, colored stretch film can drastically speed up pallet identification. Each warehouse will have a different color scheme, but common definitions that we see include: Black: Requiring a higher level ...

Keep your battery-powered strapping tools in good working order, follow some of these tips and they could give your hand strapping tools a new lease on life. Invest in Training for Your New Battery-Powered Hand Strapping Tool: You may not think of employee training as preventative maintenance, but it’s the first step in protecting your equipment. When employees know how to use hand strapping tools correctly, they’ll be less likely to damage them. If they use the tool improperly, they could subject it to unusual wear and tear, which could cause the tool to break. A good example is trying to use the battery-operated hand strapping tool on an improper load application.  For example, using the wrong tool for a small cylindrical bundle can bend plates and ultimately will not work well in securing the load effectively.  Employee training could include elements of preventative maintenance. Many preventative maintenance tasks are easy to perform, and your employees should carry th...

Why use Black Security Pallet Wrap? Black Opaque stretch wrap can also help with supply chain security by acting as tamper-evident packaging. For example, using black film will prevent people from seeing what products are wrapped. Many pharmaceutical companies use this process. Opaque stretch wrap is also less common and harder to come by than standard stretch film. This means that thieves or other parties with ill intentions will have a harder time re-wrapping pallets accurately after stealing from or otherwise tampering with them. As a result, tampering is more immediately obvious, which allows you to act quickly to catch the guilty party and/or prevent the issue from happening again. Opaque Film Improves Product Protection.   Some stretch film comes in opaque colors—usually in black or white options. Opaque colored stretch film creates a solid color that offers extra protection for the product load. The opaque color is more resistant to UV rays than clear stretch film, whi...

 In the world of product packaging, innovation is the key to capturing consumer attention and ensuring the safety of the items inside. One such innovative packaging solution that has been gaining popularity in recent years is skin packaging. This method not only enhances the visual appeal of the product but also provides numerous benefits in terms of protection, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. What Is Skin Packaging? Skin packaging, also known as “skin pack” or “skin film packaging,” is a technique that involves tightly wrapping a transparent plastic film over a product, creating a second skin that conforms to its shape. The plastic film is then sealed to a backing board or tray, creating a vacuum-sealed package that closely adheres to the contours of the product. This process ensures that the product is securely encased, reducing the risk of damage during transportation and storage. Why Choose Skin Packaging?   Visibility and Presentation: Skin packaging offers u...
