Slip sheets replace pallets to reduce weight and freight cost. Tier sheets stabilize loads between product layers and protect products from shifting or deformation. They are not alternatives — most real workflows use both together at the base and between layers of a load.
Corrugated board powers packaging, but its structure and specs often feel like a black box. Understanding what corrugated actually IS and how its properties cascade into your case erector or packer, is the difference between solving problems and chasing symptoms.
Pallet stretch wrappers come in three types: turntable (load rotates, machine stays fixed), rotary-arm (machine circles a stationary load), and robotic (mobile unit travels to the pallet). The right choice depends on your load profile and facility constraints.
Manual pallet stacking is one of the most physically demanding and injury-prone tasks at the end of a packaging line. Here is a plain-language explanation of how palletizers work, what types exist, how pallet patterns work, and how to assess whether automation makes sense for your operation.
Product goes in. Case gets sealed. But what happens in between? Here is a plain-language explanation of how case packers work, the three main loading methods, and the factors that determine which approach fits your operation.
