One way to safely navigate customer satisfaction is to find a case sealing partner that’s as attuned to the demanding nature of the single parcel supply chain and expectations of the end consumer.
Developing systematic, cost-effective packaging and shipping processes that ensure products leaving your facility arrive safely and securely at a consumer’s doorstep is no simple task.
Case sealing partners can not only lessen the amount of stress DFCs assume as throughput increases, but they can also improve efficiencies – and profits – in the process.
The production and shipping/storage environments are critical to consider when choosing packaging tape, particularly temperature and environmental conditions such as humidity and dust, as these factors can impact the application of the tape and reliability of the...
In packaging tape, grade refers to the construction of the tape. Grades are made of varying levels of film and adhesive thickness. These grades deliver a range of different holding powers and tensile strengths. For lower tape grades, thinner backings and smaller...
Downtime is a period of time during which a system fails to perform or production is interrupted. It's a hot topic among many manufacturers. Downtime results in stopped production, missed deadlines and lost profit. It also increases stress and frustration at all...
According to the Corrugated Packaging Alliance, “in 2012, 91 percent (29 million tons) of the corrugated packaging used in the U.S. was successfully recovered for recycling, maintaining its top position as the most-recycled packaging material." While finding fewer...
Not all packaging tapes are the same, especially when it comes to construction. The biggest difference is adhesive type. The two most common are acrylic and hot melt. Read on to see what makes them so...
Most packaging tapes are pressure-sensitive, which means they require some type of pressure, or wipe-down force, to bond the tape to the carton surface. The proper amount of pressure will drive the tape's adhesive into the corrugated surface, allowing the adhesive to entangle itself deep within the fibers of the carton, thereby creating a secure case seal.
