Insiders Secret Tips On Packaging Supplies

Below is some helpful tips & information you may not know, that can help you get the most out of Your Packaging Supplies (Warehouse Supplies)

Can't Find Where A Roll Of Tape Starts:

 After cutting tape, put a paper clip where the roll begins 

Cheap Pallet Pads:

Instead of using conventional pallet pads to line your pallets. We have Cost Effective Economy Pallet Pads available. If you are after a small quantity of pallet pads, use our 1220mm corrogated cardboard.

Save Money When Sending Small Packages:

Instead of packing small products using void fill to take up gaps, along with packaging tape to seal boxes, use our range of different size Padded Mailing Bags we have available.

Labour Savings On Bubblewrap:

For long products, use our bubbletube. bubbletube is made to your required size, your product feeds straight into the tube, saving time on having to wrap each individual product, at the same time using minimal tape.

For Long Thin Boxes:

Save time & tape, use Filament Tape with an "L Clip" - a small tab of tape around 60mm in length that seals over each edge

Best Way To Store Tape:

Away from sunlight in a cool dry area.

To Get Best Adhesion When Applying Tape:

Make sure that boxes are dirt & dust free,full surface contact is made with tape & box it is being applied too. (ie- run your hand along the tape)

After Small Quantities Of Custom Size Plastic Bags Or Extra Long Plastic Bags:

rder continuous plastic tubing (polytubing), wind off the length required, & use a heat sealing machine to seal off the ends.You can also use a heat sealer to customise, change sizes of standard size plastic bags.

Tape or Adhesive Envelopes Aren't Sticking Well in Cold Weather:

Keep your tape or envelopes in your office(at room temperature) if your factory is cold, as adhesives work better in warmer temperatures.

When Opening A Box Of Tape,Never Slice Across The Box With A Knife:

As this may put a knick in the roll, causing the

tape to tear everytime it unrolls - making the roll defective.
