Your hands deserve a break every once and a while!!

Take care of your hands from over typing and texting!!
here is a nice video and some helpful hints if your fingers are tired from too much walking!!

  • Stop performing normal everyday activities with the injured hand - such as holding a cup, unscrewing a lid or ringing a doorbell - for at least a week to allow wrist and hand to rest. This will take pressure off the affected nerve.

  • 2
    Set up your work space with adjustable screens, keyboards and work surfaces to eliminate extra strain on the wrists and hands. Position your keyboard so that it is at elbow level. Your forearms, wrists and hands should be in a straight line parallel to the floor as you type.

  • 3
    Use a wrist pad with your keyboard. A wrist pad is a cushioned support that rests under your wrists, runs the length of your keyboard and takes the stress off your wrists by raising them to the level of the keyboard.

  • 4
    Go on a short break every hour, being sure to stretch and walk. This will help to relax the affected nerve in your hands as well as the rest of your body.

  • 5
    Wear a wrist splint at night for one to two weeks. Remember, the splint will provide the best support only when the wrist is straight.

  • 6
    Hang your hands over the side of the bed at night, or shake and dangle them as the pain occurs.

  • 7
    Massage your hands and wrists to relieve pressure.

  • 8
    Alternate heat and cold treatments to relieve pain and inflammation.

  • 9
    Take anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen daily for the pain and swelling.

    About Honeycomb
    Honeycomb is a rugged, cost-effective, custom-engineered kraft paper material that has proven ideal for many uses, including packaging, pallets, dunnage, furniture inner structures and signage displays.

    Honeycomb is made by joining individual bands of kraft paper together into a series of continuous hexagonal cells. In most cases, the cells are faced on both sides with similar materials to create what is, ounce for ounce, the strongest product known.

    Honeycomb works on the I-beam principle. The facing of the panel acts as the flange of the I-beam and the core as its web. The flange carries the tension and the compression across the surface of the panel. The web holds the flanges together in proper order.  
          
    Reverse Slit Score / Slit Score
    A reverse slit score is made by cutting through one facing paper and through the core material, and then by cutting the opposite facing paper at another location to create a fan folding effect in the panel. A single slit score is produced by cutting through one facing paper and the entire core, leaving the other facing paper intact to create a folding hinge in the panel.
         
    Cookie-Cut
    A cookie-cut is made by creating a slit in both of the facing papers and a portion of the core, leaving the panel held together by the uncut center core. Runners and small inner pieces can be created this way, making them easier to handle and allowing them to be separated easily by gently pulling each piece apart as needed.
        
    Die-Cut
    A die-cut is made by producing panels with holes that are cut completely through in practically any shape or thickness. Die-cut panels can be either glued to a flat panel to create a tray for bulk packing or used to surround an item for inner packing.
       
    PSA - Pressure Sensitive Adhesive
    A high tack adhesive is applied to one side of a honeycomb panel and covered with a release paper. The paper is removed by the end-user, who can then apply to a surface. The panel is typically used as a block support in pallets or inner packaging.

    How a Client Just Like You Recently Saved Over $457.00/Month By Investing In An Automatic Strapping Machine!!!




    Strapping machines are used for packaging applications. Strapping may also be referred as bundling the products or items tightly together with steel strap joint or sealing. These machines are used for general packaging, food packaging or strapping of magazines, and paper carton for keeping a bundle of papers, books & lumber. The advantages of using strapping machines are many like safe keeping bales of agriculture products, packaging of glass products, and holding wooden boxes tightly that are easy to carry or loading.

    Strapping machines can be one of the biggest needs of many packaging industries and shipping companies. They are used to strap the shipping containers or bundling of shipping papers. Strapping machines reduce damage and protect the products through improved packaging methods. Newspaper printing industries use strapping machines for strapping the number of newspapers. Strapping machine manufacturers and suppliers provide a wide range of versions of strapping machines with excellent speed according to the requirements of consumers. Strapping machines are available in fully automatic, and semi automatic models.

    Strapping machines are made in best quality of metals with steel strap jointing that are used in heavy weight products. There are many types of straps like polypropylene strap used in medium weight economical products, nylon strap and polyester strap used in plastic products in plastic manufacturing companies or cold applications (weather proof). Paper straps are very soft and light which are generally used in paper products. All straps reliably pack the products quickly in bottom seal, side seal or top seal safely.

    Strapping machines are easy to assemble and disassemble, control the switch of machines with foot pedal switch and are easily operated by workers. Strapping machines equipment performs high volume and special packaging applications. Use of strapping machines to get strap in specific time frame with improved packaging quality is hallmark of these highly sophisticated machines. Moreover, they consume low energy and are less expensive, and hence consumers get them at very cost-effective price.
