The various uses of plastic packaging materials

Plastic packaging materials come in a variety of forms. Shrink bands are used for tamper evidence on containers, plastic bags to store small items, stretch wrap to prep pallets for shipment and plastic tape for just about everything else. And this list is just the beginning. Read on to learn about the packaging materials that we carry and make CPS your one stop shop solution.

Shrink bands are in essence, bands of PVC plastic. When heated over a container or lid the plastic melts and creates a plastic seal around the product. This practice then makes the container tamper evident proof. Interested to learn more about tamper evidence? Read on.

Imagine that Scott is looking for a new brand of polish for his surfboard. He discovers your product at a local water sport shop. Upon picking up the container, a broken shrink band slips off the top. This reveals to the customer that the particular jar of polish he chose has been tampered with. He will instead pick up a new, fully sealed jar and enjoy your product for all its worth. This instance illustrates how the use of a shrink band brings comfort to the customer and protection to the producer.

Plastic stretch wrap is a plastic packaging material commonly used to prepare pallets of product for transport. The plastic is wrapped around the cargo and in turn reduces the size of the overall shipment. Have you ever wondered how the shrinking process occurs? I looked into it, keep reading to become enlightened.

Polymers are the building blocks of plastic. Naturally curled and intertwined, polymers are suspended in an elongated form in stretch wrap. Once the pallets of product have been wrapped, the shipment is exposed to heat. The energy from the heat awakes the polymers and encourages them to return to their spiral and knotted state. This action causes the wrap to tighten and shrink around the shipment. Purchase a M400 and try it yourself.

Tape seems to always come in handy. Whether you need to build up a few shipper boxes or stop someone from talking, tape never lets you down. Our clear industrial tape is sold in two sizes, 2" X 110 yard, 3 X 110 yard.
