Palletizing Adhesives Support Sustainability and Safe Product Delivery
Secure Your Products While Reducing Your Costs
New Solutions Satisfy Market Pressures
The consumer goods industry, like many others, is facing increasing pressure in three areas:
- Controlling expense. Material, labor, and transportation costs are continuing to rise. Each step of the process needs to be optimized for efficiency and a stronger bottom line.
- Enhancing sustainability. To keep up with consumer preferences and regulations, as well as reduce environmental impacts, manufacturers are updating to more environmentally friendly practices and materials. Reducing waste—as well as the use of plastics—is a key component of that strategy.
- Securing products. Damage during transport can cause waste, a loss of sales, and dissatisfied customers. You need to be confident your palletized goods will arrive safely.
Benefits of Adhesive Over Film
Palletizing adhesives are a viable solution to all these concerns for end-of-line packaging and shipping along the supply chain.
- Reduced film usage. Palletizing adhesives significantly reduce or eliminate the need for stretch wrap. This curtails the cost of plastic wraps and helps reduce plastic waste.
- Improved efficiency. Faster application and easier de-stacking, compared to stretch wrap, leading to quicker processing and reduced manual labor.
- Enhanced stability. By creating a strong bond between boxes, adhesives control the chances of shifting and damage during shipping. These can benefit product and worker safety, as well as Better product visibility. Removing plastic wraps allows for easy identification of product labels and barcodes.
