Do you have a business which manufactures goods to be shipped, and you’re in need of some ideas for packaging for products? All Strap can provide the inventory of shipping products you will need to successfully package your equipment so that everything arrives at the destination in great shape and without shifting or damage. Some examples of items that companies ship, and the bindings they use to keep everything in place can be endless, but here are a few so that you will have a good idea of just how beneficial good packaging for products can be.
Let us look at heavy equipment manufacture first. Using commercial air conditioning units as an example, think about how those get from the plant of manufacture to the buildings which they cool. After manufacture, the units will have to be hoisted up onto trucks and taken to the train or barge which will deliver them to yet another truck and on to their destination, usually a construction site. However do these giant units stay in place on their modes of transportation? The answer is strapping. Strapping, usually, in this case, made of steel or nylon, the two strongest materials on the market for holding down large equipment is essential for getting heavy industrial equipment to a destination. The units must be strapped to the trucks, train cars, or barge, and straps pulled taught and sealed around the unit so that there is no movement.
With smaller products in boxes such as glassware, textiles, or electronics, binding will be done a bit differently. Boxed products often will be stacked neatly in a larger box, and the larger boxes sealed with tape, and stacked neatly on a pallet. After all boxes are stacked on the pallet, shrink film is often applied, as is strapping. Normally a softer material of strapping is used for this as to not damage the boxes or products inside. Edge protectors are often used in this case as well so that the strapping does not cut into the boxes. Straps are tensioned so that there is no movement or shifting, and the pallets are stacked on trucks, trains o barges to go to their destination warehouses or stores.
