Custom poly bag solutions 3 different case studies, 3 different custom poly bag solutions. It's always good to see how different industries are using packaging materials for different applications. In the follow case studies we'll look at a manufacturer of tool chests, a meat packing company, and a manufacturer of automotive parts.   Case study 1 Problem A manufacturer of high-end tool chests needed a better way to protect their products during storage. The large, polished chests needed protection from dirt and scratching. The current poly bag they used to cover the chest caused surface abrasion. Solution The Packaging Group provided them a proprietary LLDPE-HSB formula specially engineered to eliminate abrasion and scratching. The custom poly bags were also easier to open and use on the high-end tool chests. Case study 2 Problem A meat packing company was using an LLDPE poly bag to line their corrugated containers during their blast freeze operation. The streng

Brick Manufacturing company spending to much on broken bricks. In certain regions across the globe, peat is an excellent and abundant form of fuel. The manufacturing of this natural resource, however, poses a number of challenges. In order to transform the loose matter into something that can be burned, it must be compressed and the water removed. Achieving this dryness so quickly and on an industrial scale proved to be a massive issue for one frustrated customer. The regular stretch film that the manufacturing plant was using was causing an extreme amount of moisture to be produced on the bricks that were supposed to be dry. The result was expanding, rotting, and broken bricks. Entire loads were rejected by customers because of the poor quality of the bricks.  Fixing the mess cost the manufacturing company a great deal of time and money. In order to prevent more bricks from breaking and another costly catastrophe, the manufacturing company contacted  The Packaging Group  to help

A new poly strapping tool process In the lumber industry, strapping is used to bundle mixed loads of lumber product. The right strapping and strapping tool is crucial to bundling and protection because of the heavy-duty load. The lumber company was experiencing long strapping times and increased expenses. Switching from a poly combination tool to the new BXT3 poly strapping tool provided the company with thousands of dollars in annual savings.     Problem The lumber company was using an expensive and time consuming process to secure loads. The slow process of strapping lumber was causing downtime and increased costs. Strapping tool solution The BXT3 poly strapping tool saved the lumber company $25,000 in annual savings just by switching tools . The new tool is made to enhance speed and convenience for the operator. This helped cut their strapping process of lumber in half, getting rid of all that extra downtime from before. The adjustable tension helped smooth the process fo

Dunnage air bag turbo flow inflation system Dunnage air bag inflation devices offer unparalleled inflation speed and safety. Turbo flow inflation reduces the time and labors costs associated with filling dunnage air bags. Once optimal pressure is achieved, the inflator ceases airflow which eliminates the risk of bursting bags. They work for both vinyl and poly-woven style of air-bags.  Dunnage air bag inflators for vinyl airbags Dunnage air bag inflators for poly-woven airbags Dunnage air bags Fast inflation speeds Inflate dunnage air bags with ease that improves efficiency and loading time. Smaller airbags inflate in just 10 seconds. Operator friendly valve  The valve is easy for any operator to use, and even gloved hands can open and close the valves. Easy deflation The cap is easy to lock and unlock which prevents accidental deflation. To deflate the air bag, just press and turn the lock counter-clockwise and gently push the airbag in on itself.       Designed for o

Bubble packaging One way we decrease packaging costs is with a bubble packaging system . These machines create air pillows to protect your products from damage. These air pillows are made on-demand from a roll of film that is attached to the machine. The small, and in some cases table-top size, machines create a cushioning system to wrap around the items. The AirSpeed Fit is bubble packaging machine than can reduce your packaging costs in just 4 ways. Take a look at what could lead to some major cost savings in your packaging process. Package cost One thing to remember is it's not just about the cost of the packaging materials. It's important to focus on the average cost per package. It can be cheaper to use less material of more expensive bubble packaging than to use more of a less expensive packaging material. The inflatable bubble wrap that an on-demand system creates uses less material than traditional bubble. It's just one way to cost your cost per package by usin

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
