Keeping Stable Pallets Through Pallet Bands

    Pallet bands are becoming a widely used commodity, particularly for warehouse storage solutions. When it comes to transporting pallets of goods, one cannot do without keeping the load stable and well-protected. This is where these tightening plastic straps come in. With pallet bands to keep the loads secure during handling and transport, both the pallets and the people handling them are kept safe.   

Pallet Security with Pallet Straps

    For many years, there was a focus on single-use plastics and practices which were less-than-sustainable. Nowadays, with the increase in awareness of the detriment of such practices, many consumers have shifted to more environmentally friendly ideas. The idea is not limited to these people however, as more and more companies are considering and implementing a greener way of doing things. 

    The field of warehouse storage must not be left behind. As manufacturers and distributors opt for the eco-friendly approach, one specific aspect must not be left behind: pallet stabilization. 

damage,  the past, materials such as stretch wraps, adhesive tapes, wrapping bands and rubber bands were utilized for stabilizing the contents of a pallet. Some of these materials served their purpose but could unfortunately be used only once before needing to be discarded. The understanding of the impacts that these materials brought was not fully developed and for many years, these things were used nonchalantly. 

    Now that the world is more open to new ideas, Pallet Bands are replacing these tools for pallet stabilization. 

    These tightening plastic straps have many advantages over their counterparts. One of them is that they are actually cheaper to invest in in the long run. Since they are reusable, they can be utilized multiple times before discarding. And even when they need to be retired, the stretch bands are actually 100% recyclable, making them the eco-friendlier choice for any green company. 

    These pallet bands are also easier to use. In fact, they can be applied (and removed) by a single person. The bands can be applied within seconds and tightly hold onto the pallets’ contents, prepping them for handling and transport. If one so chooses, adding corner protectors to the boxes can also be done. The pallet bands could then wrap around these too, adding more security to the products. 

    Another advantage that these tightening plastic straps has over other types of materials is that they do not cause any damage, i.e.,the straps do not rip off the parts of the boxes they are trying to protect. Adhesive tapes, previously used to stabilize pallets, would, more often than not, result in damaged boxes. Trying to remove them after they’ve served their purpose would have been a tedious job that often resulted in problems with the packaging. At most, one could just leave them be, but at a time when even the aesthetics of packaging is heavily critiqued, this could be detrimental to the company. 

    Stretch Bands do not have this problem. Since they are not adhesive but merely wrap around the products, they do not damage the materials or their boxes, just keep the pallet contents secure during any movement. 

    Besides these numerous advantages, another great thing is that they do not require machines. Unlike plastic wraps which needed machinery to wrap plastic around the entire pallet, pallet bands require no such thing, saving you money by no longer needing the machine, floor space from the machine that is no longer necessary, as well as making your people’s lives easier because they’ll no longer need to learn and operate the said machine.

    Tightening plastic straps are certainly the better choice for any company choosing to go the easier, more economical and more eco-friendly route.

Pallet Ties for Pallets 

    For many years, the technology of reusable plastic straps for pallets has eluded the grasp of many distributors and manufacturers. Now however, these worries are no more. With Stretch Bands, sustainability is within reach. 

    When it comes to stabilizing loads for transport, reusable pallet strapping is the obvious solution. And as the world moves toward more sustainable practices in all fields, there is a need to keep up with changing trends. Not only is reusability and sustainability better practices, but they are also in general, better ideologies. 

    Whenever pallets need to be moved, whether it be on the road to different facilities, on the water in shipping containers or even just on the same premises, stabilizing the pallet’s contents is necessary. Keeping the products from moving protects both the merchandise as well as the people handling them. 

    There are a wide variety of materials that these pallet ties can be made of and indeed, over the years, there have been many types introduced to the market. Materials such as stretch wraps, rubber bands for pallets, adhesive tapes and wrapping bands have been utilized. These materials, however, are not sustainable and are meant for one-time use only. These aspects make them more damaging to the environment, and more expensive. Now however, we have a new alternative to these materials, ushering in the smarter way to stabilize your pallets. 

Reusable Pallet Straps 

    Stretch Bands offer better alternatives to previous technology as they have many advantages over their counterparts.

For one, the material is reusable, making them the more economical option. Because they can be reused multiple times, the amount of waste generated by your facility is greatly lessened, lessening the negative impact to the environment. Once the material does become loose and can no longer be reused, they still have the upper hand because they are 100% recyclable, truly making them the more sustainable choice. 

    Besides their environmental impact, Stretch Bands are also far easier to use. For previous technology especially stretch wraps, machinery was necessary to wrap the entirety of the pallet in the single-use plastic. The entire process required additional hours of training for the employees to handle the machine, more floor space for both the machine and the wrapping area, and basically, more money to go into pallet stabilization. With pallet ties however, all of these things are addressed. 

    The reusable pallet strapping is so easy to handle that only one employee is necessary to fully stabilize the pallet. Within seconds, the Stretch Bands can be applied, lessening the time needed to secure and move the pallet. Floor space which would have gone to this one specific part of storage processing would have gone to other needs. And additional machinery would no longer need to be acquired. The additional man-hours one would have accrued over the year with just this specific aspect of pallet stabilization will also inevitably add up. Basically, switching to palletbands is just the better option for the long run.

    Perhaps one other pro that these straps have that many distributors miss out on, is the fact that they not only protect what’s inside the boxes of goods on the pallet, but also the boxes themselves. In the past, the use of adhesive tapes to secure these boxes for transport meant that they would inevitably be damaged in some way. Sometimes the tape would rip out part of the branding, or worse, part of the important information found on the boxes themselves. To prevent this, the tape would have needed to be left on the boxes, meaning minus points for aesthetics. 

    The great thing about the stretch band is that not only are they easy and quick to apply, but they are also incredibly easy to remove while keeping the boxes intact. They are not adhesive in nature, meaning you won’t need to worry about any worsening of the state of the boxes no matter how many times the pallets would need to be moved. 

    Compared to previous technology, plastic straps for pallets are now the wiser option for warehouse storage solutions.
