Bubble packaging reduces packaging costs

Bubble packaging

bubble packagingOne 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 using the right materials.

Damaged products

packaging damage1 in 10 boxes shipped are damaged. Investing in a bubble packaging machine helps fight the ware against packaging damage. You're getting consistent protection every time with packaging equipment, and these machines are no different. The best part is that it's simple to operate, requiring little to no training at all. Instead of your employees packaging your products however they want, get a more simplified process. Bubble packaging is great for void-fill, containment, cushioning, and wrapping.

Space in your warehouse

warehouse spaceSpace is limited when it comes to warehouses, and it's always at a premium. Bubble packaging machines are small and compact, freeing up more space for your inventory and other packing stations. 

Picture this: 1 cubic foot of space for a jumbo roll of film vs 500 cubic feet of void fill. The 1 cubic fee of film for the machine produces the same amount of product protection, cushioning, and void fill that your current void fill does. 

 

Freight   

The cost of freight certainly changes the cost of your packaging process. Size and weight have major impacts on your shipping costs. It can also mean the difference between a customer purchasing or not purchasing your products. Bubble packaging is light-weight while still providing superior protection.

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

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
