What does it mean to be ‘Made in America’? You might find that domestically produced goods are associated with higher prices for comparable quality. When the difference between two products is just the price, it only makes sense to purchase the lower cost item. However, saving on upfront cost is not always a good idea. What the Price Tag Doesn’t Say. Price does not exist in a vacuum. Many other factors affect how much a product costs, including materials, labor, freight, and more. When considering a lower-cost product, you might be missing: Quality Assurance – When equipment is built on US soil, there is more control over the manufacturing process. You can feel confident that every step is managed well without potential complications such as mistranslations in communication or production shortcuts to increase output at the cost of quality. Domestic goods are subject to quality standards that are not upheld in different countries. Service & Support – Even well-made equipment...

  In the packaging world, pre-stretched film has emerged as a game-changer for industries seeking efficient, cost-effective, and secure packaging solutions. 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 film is beneficial in industries such as: Manufacturing: Securing raw materials and finished goods on pallets for distribution. Retail: Packaging products for display and distribution in retail shops and superma...

  Many people think wooden pallets are the standard in the logistics industry. Businesses have a multitude of options for ensuring safe and secure shipping and storage. When choosing a pallet material, paper might not be the first thing you think of. However, there are many ways paper pallets are better than wooden pallets. Understanding the advantages that corrugated pallets offer will help you make smarter logistical decisions for your business. What Are Corrugated Pallets? If you don’t work in logistics, you might not know what corrugated means. Simply put, corrugated is a term for materials that have alternating ridges and grooves. While this design can apply to different materials, most logistics professionals use the term interchangeably with paper. Experts make corrugated pallets from paper boards, molding them into ridges that provide structure and support. If you’ve recently packed or disassembled a cardboard box, then you’re already familiar with the material. Corru...

You have a lot of options when it comes to strapping, including steel, polypropylene (PP) and polyester (PET). Which of these strapping options is the most economical? The cheapest strapping material may not always be the best bet.  The best value in strapping will always be the material that meets your requirements for strength, stability, and performance. Strapping costs can vary widely depending on the material type. Here are some general cost considerations when choosing the right strapping material.   Traditional steel strapping is the most expensive. It is also the heaviest, which means you may have extra freight costs to consider.   Strong, lightweight polyester (PET) strapping is often used as a cost-effective alternative to steel strapping. If it is appropriate for your application, it is better value.   Polypropylene (PP) is the cheapest strapping material and performs well for many light-to-medium loads. It is not suitable for all applications. ...

Affordable: Our main goal was to beat standard edge protector pricing while providing a better product. Increased Cushioning: The fluted design increases the overall thickness of the material while reducing the weight. This additional thickness provides better cushioning and protection for items being protected by the corrugated edge protector. Strength: The structure of corrugated edge protectors allows it to support a substantial amount of weight relative to its own mass. This makes it ideal for stacking and shipping applications. The combination of its three-layer structure, fluted design, and the resulting physical properties make corrugated edge protectors stronger and more versatile than regular cardboard edge protectors. This strength, coupled with its lightweight nature and recyclability, has made corrugated edge protectors a preferred material for packaging and shipping across various industries.
