Adhesive Tapes…

What is the difference between PVC and Polypropylene tape?

A. Polypropylene tape cannot be torn by hand and is generally thought of as an economy option. PVC tape can be torn by hand and offers a higher level of adhesion.

Cold Working

No tape works well when in extremely cold temperatures and it pays to keep the rolls in a warmer place. However, if your boxes are going to end up in a freezer it’s best to purchase Polypropylene tape and avoid PVC.

Stretch Film / Pallet Wraps...

How do you use stretch film/pallet wrap?

The idea of stretch film, or pallet wrap as it is otherwise known, is that tension is used to hold multiple items together, usually to a pallet. This ensures stability of the items held, along with the benefit of being protected from dust, and to a lesser extent if used correctly, rain.

Black pallet wrap can be used to shield items from view, whereas clear or tinted pallet wrap allows users to see the items that are wrapped. Many users do not use stretch film in the correct manner. If tension is not applied to the stretch film as it is wrapped around items they are not held securely. This leads to products falling from pallets whilst being transported. The pallet wrap must be pulled taut as it is wrapped around the items.
