Microfoam Packaging: Low Density Polypropylene Foam

Micro Foam is the only low density polypropylene sheet foam on the market. Whatever application you may be looking to service, Micro Foam could be a potential answer for your business' needs. We sell a number of loosefills and microfoams, even UPS foam rolls. The Packaging Group can supply you with foam bags and foam pouches. We even have other protective foam products, such as foam sleeves and foam profiles, or more customized foam products like die cut foam, convoluted foam, or foam planks. If the protection of you shipments is of the utmost importance then you could try our instapack foam products. We can take care of all your shipping needs from basic foam to laminated foam. Foam Packaging must provide cushioning, allow stacking, provide good thermal insulation, be light-weight, and allow easy handling. Foam packaging accomplishes these goals. Foam packaging comes in rolls, foam bags, micro foam, foam profiles, and more. 

Micro Foam Has:

  1. A high coefficient of friction that provides unequaled protection for easily scratched finishes. (Chemically inert material won`t tarnish or corrode sensitive metals. Readily accepts labels and tape. Polypropylene enables even less expensive adhesives to stick better.)
  2. Thermal and vapor transmission properties that make it the ideal material for insulating blankets and over winterizing protection for plants. (Mildew, moisture and fungus resistant, microfoam sheet foam is safe for the packing of live plants and flowers. Lightweight makes it easier to handle versus PE foam. Effective insulation against temperature extremes. Superior flexibility in the thicker gauges necessary for ease in handling and applying. High melting point allows microfoam to perform reliably from -250 degrees F up to 250 degrees F with a melting point of 320 degrees F. Outstanding breathability enables the release of vapors while it protects against condensation and water damage.)
  3. It can be laminated to a number of substrates to meet specific needs. (We offer foam laminated to kraft, linerboard, non-woven, film and cohesive materials. Superior buoyancy characteristics are ideal for applications including flotation containment. Low density, light weight make lifting or changing rolls a breeze. Low weight and ease of handling also reduces labor and shipping costs.)
  4. It can act as a cohesive laminate. (The special cold seal coating adheres to itself, but not the product, to form an instant highly protective package.)
Micro Foam is:
  • Lightweight foam reduces shipping costs
  • Cohesion leaves no residue and is tamper evident
  • Watertight seal protects packaged product from the elements
  • Can be printed on up to four colors
  • One-step seal saves time and material
  • Custom sizing eliminates waste
  • Available in standard sheets or rolls. Microfoam cohesive can be perforated on the roll to facilitate portion control.

Plastic Strapping Buckles

Image
Plastic and Wire Buckles The work volume, production speed required, and required strength deter­mines closure method. For low volume, low tension applications, buckles are a good method of joining plastic strapping. This is particularly true if portability and cost are major issues. One can easily hand tension the strap, with or without the use of a hand pull or crank tensioner, and apply the buckle without the need of a power source. The metal buckles are stronger than the plastic ones and can withstand greater tensioning. Plastic buck­les are used on lighter weight loads, espe­cially in agriculture, as they can be easily hand applied in the field without the need for tools. Always Use: Phosphate finished buckles on bonded and all woven cord strapping. Galvanized finished buckles are required for composite cord strapping Bright finished buckles are for polypropylene strapping.   Read more on the other types of plastic strap closures and check out our selection of buckles

Poly sheeting for construction applications

Image
The construction industry uses poly sheeting. Poly sheeting for the construction industry   provides a temporary support of existing structures and the soil their on. The polyethylene material stands up to the elements and pressures during construction. Their biggest advantages to working in the construction industry is that they're water-proof, rot-proof, and resistant to chemicals. Poly sheeting can be used for construction, landscaping, masonry and more. Poly sheets are highly durable, have high strength, and are tear resistant. Plastic sheeting is useful for industrial applications, protection against the elements on construction sites, moisture and gas barriers and many other innovative uses. Poly sheeting for construction benefits: Construction enclosures Erosion control Shipping and packaging Insulation membranes We offer many poly sheeting packaging supplies in different mil thicknesses: 1 mil ,  1.5 mil ,  2 mil ,  3 mil ,  4 mil ,  6 mil ,  8 mil ,  10 mil

Coffee Pods - a Sustainable Solution or Fleeting Fad?

Image
  Whether you use them or not, single-use coffee pods have taken the world by storm... and with quite a large amount of controversy. So what made a luxury coffee producer choose aluminum for their coffee pods?   Luxury coffee producer Nespresso chose to use aluminum to create their pre-portioned capsules because it offered the best protection from oxidation, preserved coffee freshness, and prevented food waste through leftovers. (According to the Sustainability Manager at Nespresso, the kitchen sink is the largest source of consumption of coffee made by standard drip pots.) Now, we know individual coffee pods can be controversial, even to the point of attempted ban in the US and Europe, and creating aluminum is no easy process either. So why did Nespresso choose Aluminum where Keurig chose plastic?   In 2009, Nespresso decided to source sustainable aluminum with the help of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. By 2015, Nespresso has 14 non-government organizations
