How to seal a cardboard box
Before you put anything into a cardboard box, you should tape up the bottom of the box. If you don’t, and only fold the bottom of the box flaps over each other, the box could collapse when lifted. You don’t want your best china in pieces all over the floor! Never interlock the flaps of the box as it reduces the strength of the box.
Understanding Pallet Stretch Film
There are two main types of hand held pallet wrap. They are known as Blown pallet wrap and Cast pallet wrap.
Blown pallet wrap is a robust material with good memory, this film works very well in low temperatures. Blown film in comparison to Cast will have a slightly milkier appearance but still remain clear. If you require a film to fully cover your contents then choose a coloured film such as BLACK. Blown film has a high degree of tack to itself and therefore creates a very stable pack. Colour options are available dependent on quantity.
