Frequently asked questions

What packaging solutions do you recommend for high volume manufacturing operations?

For high-volume manufacturing, we recommend automated pallet wrappers, durable pallet wrap, and reliable protective packaging. Automated systems speed up throughput, reduce material waste, and improve consistency. Pairing these with robust double-wall boxes and cushioning materials such as paper void fill or foam packaging ensures products remain protected throughout the supply chain – improving efficiency and reducing damages.

How can pallet wrap improve load stability in manufacturing?

Pallet wrap secures products to pallets, helping prevent movement, shifting, or collapse during storage and transit. High-performance wrap – especially nano or 30% recycled film – provides excellent containment with less material. Using the correct tension, wrap pattern, and pre-stretch settings ensures stability and compliance with transport standards, reducing product damage and waste.

Are your boxes strong enough for industrial and heavy duty use?

Yes. We supply a wide range of industrial-grade boxes, including double-wall and pallet boxes, designed to withstand the demands of manufacturing environments. These boxes provide excellent stacking strength and protection for bulk goods, machinery components, or heavy items. Options such as solid board and reinforced edges offer extra durability for export or high-risk handling.

What protective packaging is best for manufactured parts or components?

Foam packaging, bubble wrap, Hexafil, and polystyrene are all effective for cushioning manufactured goods. Foam and polystyrene offer excellent shock absorption for heavy or delicate items, while Hexafil and paper-based void fill work well for general protection and sustainability. The right solution depends on the product’s weight, fragility, and shipping method.

Can your packaging solutions help reduce downtime in manufacturing?

Yes. Our efficient pallet wrappers, automated tape machines, and well-organised packing setups can significantly reduce packaging time and labour costs. We also help customers implement stock management systems, ensuring essential packaging supplies are always on hand. Reducing manual steps and preventing packaging shortages keeps production lines running smoothly.

Do you offer tailored packaging solutions for manufactured goods?

Absolutely. We work closely with manufacturers to provide tailored packaging that meets the size, weight, and handling needs of your products. Whether it’s custom box sizing, optimised pallet wrap application, or protective packaging designed around specific components, we help reduce damage, improve load stability, and support more efficient production workflows.
