Reuse your gift wrap for sustainable interior packaging!!

10 Tips to save money and package correctly to save money and recycle!!


The company that can deliver more than 1 million packages an hour had better know how to pack. And UPS does. In the testing environment, UPS engineers package, crush, drop and manhandle all kinds of packages all day long so they can help you avoid costly mistakes.

It's a sure bet that you can improve the process at your company, says Quint Marini, manager at the UPS Package Engineering Design and Test Lab near Chicago. Here, he offers 10 smart tips for preparing your wares for their journey so they arrive unharmed.

1. Only reuse boxes that are like new.
Reusing cartons is tempting, but boxes in transit may endure drops, collisions or extreme temperatures. Never use a carton with a crease or tear; a crease can reduce a box's strength by up to 70 percent. The modest savings resulting from reusing a box likely will be outweighed by the cost and customer frustration that comes with damaged or returned goods.
2. Be judicious when using recycled packaging.
High-performance foams and cushion wraps can be reused. But many biodegradable packaging materials break down quickly when exposed to extreme temperatures or humidity. And corrugated cartons with recycled content are designed for one-time use. Multiple uses reduce their resistance to crushing or puncturing.

3. High-performance interior cushioning is often worth the expense.
The most basic interior cushioning, polystyrene, can endure only one impact. It may not be adequate for the rigors of shipping. Higher-performing materials such as polyethylene or polyurethane are stronger and thinner. With less but more effective packaging, you can use a smaller box and save on shipping costs related to package dimensions and weight.

4. Interior packaging should support the stable areas of the product.
When packing an item like a microwave or television, the strongest structural area of a product – typically the corners – should be braced with packaging such as foam end caps. This ensures that the most stable areas will absorb impacts. More fragile areas, such as a screen or glass, should not touch interior cushioning.

5. Immobilize fragile items.
Do you want to make sure the box you ship contains cookies, not crumbs when it reaches its destination? Wrap fragile items individually and separate them from one another and the walls of the box. Fill in air spaces with packing material to ensure the items don't move when you shake the container.

6. Don't pack a laptop like a lamp, or vice versa.
Appropriate packing techniques vary widely depending on what you are shipping. With UPS's Packaging Advisor free online tool, all you have to do is input the product dimensions, the estimated weight and the type of product. The Advisor covers 56 product categories from apparel to windows, and provides step-by-step packaging instructions, including illustrated packing techniques, container recommendations, multiple materials options and closure directions.

7. "Right size" your boxes.
If you're routinely using boxes that are too large for the product you're sending, you are wasting packaging and spending too much on shipping. Try experimenting with new box sizes and new ways of arranging products in those boxes.
8. Turn to the experts at The UPS Store. The certified packaging experts at the store are always available to help package items properly. They excel in packaging, and shipping and offer services and supplies for most any packaging need.
9. Pack for the toughest environment your package will face.
A package gets handled more or less frequently on a cargo ship, in a truck or in a UPS package car. Examine your supply chain to find out where your package will experience the most handling. Then design your package – and test your packaging – for that environment.

10. Test a proposed packaging change to industry standards.
The UPS Packaging Guidelines site provides general guidelines on proper packaging materials and techniques. All packaged products should be tested in accordance with the International Safe Transit Association's (ISTA) Test Procedure 3A to ensure adequate package protection. Contact the Package Design and Test Lab to learn about having your product packaging tested.

Secrets to building your brand!!

1. Look at your personal brand as an investment. Your personal brand has the potential to last longer than your own lifespan. While the projects you’re working on might get sold onwards or shut down, your personal brand will persist and (hopefully) add value to each new project you create. If you consider yourself to be in this particular game for the long-haul, whether it’s an online business, art, or selling cars, a good personal brand is an invaluable investment. People will follow your brand from project to project if they feel connected to it. When launching new projects, your personal brand has the potential to guarantee you never have to start from scratch again.

1.  
2. Set goals for your public image. Because your personal brand is built from the thoughts and words and reactions of other people, it’s shaped by how you present yourself publicly. This is something that you have control over. You can decide how you would like people to see you and then work on publicly being that image. Consider your goals for the brand. If you want to sell an expensive course in watercolor painting you’ll need to be seen as someone with the authority to teach others on the topic. If you want to get work for high-end design clients you’ll need to be seen as a runaway talent with a professional attitude. Two useful springboard questions are:
   
3. How would you like potential customers/clients to think of you?

• How can you publicly ‘be’ that brand? This question is an important one, but a tricky one. Your personal brand is composed of your public actions and output in three main areas:
  
  
  • What you’re ‘about’. Think about the key ideas you would want people to associate with you. Seth Godin is about telling stories, being remarkable. Leo Babauta is about simplicity and habit forming. Jonathan Fields is about finding ways to build a career out of what you love doing.
  • Expertise. Every good brand involves the notion of expertise. Nike brands itself as an expert in creating quality and fashionable sportswear. Jeremy Clarkson (host of Top Gear) is an expert on cars. Even if you’re not interested in marketing your advice, you need to create the perception that you are very good at what you do.
  • Your style. This is not so much what you communicate about yourself, but rather, how you do it. Are you kind and unusually enthusiastic, like Collis Taeed? Are you witty and raw, like Naomi Dunford? Are you confident and crusading, like Michael Arrington? Hopefully you’re none of these, or at least, not in the same way. Your style of delivery should be as unique as any other aspect of your personal brand. This doesn’t mean you need to sit down and brainstorm how to be different. If you don’t actively imitate anyone else, it will happen naturally. Read widely and write a lot. If there’s one writer you love and read all the time, you’re probably going to ape them a little bit unless you catch yourself. We all do it.

1. 3
2. Run a blog or website that is all you. It doesn’t matter if it’s not your first priority, or even your second priority, but it gives people a place to develop a stronger connection with you. (You might already be doing this!) Here are some content guidelines:
3. Include a mini-bio at the end of each post, put time and effort into your About page and use it to paint a picture of your ideal personal brand. People will only remember a few things about you, so focus on telling the story that contributes most to your brand. Use your personal story as the basis for your expertise.

1. 4
2. Try to be personally ubiquitous without over-stretching or over-exposing yourself. If people hear your name enough they will check you out (maybe not the first, second or third time, but they will). Participate in social media.
3. Help your projects become ubiquitous by writing viral content and guest-writing.

1. 5
   Keep your brand fresh. No matter how good your content is, you'll risk seeming stale and repetitive if you don’t continue adding new elements to your brand. You can’t ride one idea forever. Keep adding new layers to what you represent.
2. 6
   Continue learning and updating your knowledge, especially if your expertise is based around the online world. The web changes drastically from month to month. If you were an ‘expert’ two years ago but have since stopped learning and challenging yourself, you’re not an expert anymore.
3. 7
   Don’t just agree with other people you admire. In doing so, you’re building their personal brand, not yours. Focus on topics where you have something new to say or some more value to add.
4. 8
5. Get people talking. Think about your personal brand each time you interact with someone - or don’t interact with someone. What impression are you leaving them with? If you don’t want to spend time responding to tweets and emails there’s no reason why you can’t make this part of your personal brand so that people do not expect differently. If you only have the time to answer 1/4 of the emails you get, why not mention this (with apologies) on your Contact page? The greatest source of negative feeling in these situations is disappointment. If you make it clear that you intend to behave in a certain way people have little right to be disappointed when you do so.
6. Try to build relationships with as many people as possible. See How to Network. Get to know their real names and remember details about them. Not only is this fun and good karma, it leaves a strong impression on the people who interact with you. The ones who you know best and who feel most connected to you will talk about you to others - this is how your personal brand grows stronger.
7. Build name recognition with influencers. In this instance an influencer is any person with an audience that you want to reach. Comment on their writing, keep track of them on social media, help them when they ask for it, if they have a blog try to guest-post (it must be your best stuff!). Not only do you have plenty to learn from people like this, but they are also the people who can give you that killer testimonial when you launch your product, who can tweet your links to thousands of followers, who can share the best opportunities with you. That being said, don’t pester them and don’t ask for more favors than you give them. If you are useful and not overbearing these influencers will remember you. View this as a long-term process. You can’t expect to become friends with influencers in a week. It takes months. (Tip: try to use non-intrusive forms of communication. Don’t write things that require a response in blog comments; that's what email/Twitter is for.)

Did you know about ice melt??

  

ASK ME FOR A GREAT PRICE ON YOUR ICE MELT!!!

Using ice melting compounds to clear snow and ice from walks, drives, and entries near public buildings is virtually a universal practice today. Facility maintenance personnel learned long ago that to achieve safe surfaces in the shortest time with the least total cost, ice melters are a necessity. Understandably, whenever a product category gains such widespread acceptance, the market attracts a host of suppliers looking to capture a share. As a result, there are more than 100 brands of ice melters available today. Unfortunately, many of these products are packaged with no mention of their chemical composition. Others carry labeling which specifies contents but make erroneous or misleading claims about the products’ abilities. The result is considerable confusion about the benefits and limitations of such products.

Few Actual Materials

Although there are many dozen brands of ice melter, the list of materials in common use is much shorter. It includes the following compounds:

• Sodium Chloride (rock salt)
• Calcium Chloride
• Potassium Chloride
• Urea
• Magnesium Chloride
• Sodium Acetate
• Calcium Magnesium Acetate
• Ammonium Nitrate
• Ammonium Sulfate
• Various blends of the above, with and without abrasives (such as sand, etc.)

Of the materials listed, rock salt and calcium chloride are most extensively used in applications around commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities. Rock salt, calcium chloride, potassium chloride, and magnesium chloride are naturally occurring salts. Urea, ammonium nitrate, and ammonium sulfate are synthetic materials which find their most common applications as fertilizers.

How Ice Melters Work

Generally, all ice melters work in the same way. They depress the freezing point of ice or snow and turn the mixture into a liquid or semi-liquid slush. Solid chemical salts bore through ice or snow and form a strong brine solution. This brine spreads under the ice or hard-packed snow and undercuts, breaking the bond to the surface. Once loose, the ice or snow is easily removed by mechanical means. Or, in many cases, users, apply the material in anticipation of ice or snow. This prevents the bond to the surface and melts the snow or ice as it comes in contact with the brine.
Fertilizer products work in much the same manner, though they do not form a brine. All are soluble in water and the resulting solution acts by depressing the freezing point of snow and ice.
Though common deicing materials work in the same way, they vary widely in performance. The determining factors are speed, quantity of material required, and duration of melting action. Environmental considerations are also important.

Comparing Temperature Ranges

The first measure of an ice melter’s effectiveness is the range of temperatures in which it can provide deicing action (in a reasonable time period). The “practical” lowest temperature limits for these materials is defined as effective within 15-20 minutes of application and is listed next to the material. When reviewing deicing materials on the basis of their effectiveness at practical temperatures, they rank as follows:

1. Calcium Chloride (-25^o F)
2. Magnesium Chloride (5^o F)
3. Sodium Acetate (5^o F)
4. Calcium Magnesium Acetate (5^oF)
5. Potassium Chloride (12^o F)
6. Urea (15^o F)
7. Sodium Chloride (20-22^o F)
8. Various Blends (usually 20-22^o F)

PILLOW PAK’R® Inflatable Packaging System
Make Your Own Bubble!  On-Demand.
Save money by eliminating traditional bubble packaging transportation and storage costs. Gain valuable floor space. One inflated roll of PILLOW PAK® Quilt Medium film, with its 7/8″ height, makes the equivalent of four full bundles of traditional ½” bubble wrapping material 48″ wide and 250 feet long.

Unlike traditional bubble material, PILLOW PAK film doesn’t pop and lose its cushioning properties.

PILLOW PAK film allows air to move (or transfer) between cells providing superior product cushioning and protection.
Benefits over traditional bubble wrapping material

• Reduce Damage! Unique air transfer technology improves cushioning.
• Cost Effective! Lower material costs because 7/8″ PILLOW PAK Quilt Medium bubble height reduces number of wraps while providing same cushioning protection.
• Maximum flexibility! Perforated every six inches for easy handling.
• Easy to Use! Simple to operate machine controls.
• Space Saving! Use at pack station or with portable Bundle Winder.
• Fast! Makes a 1,000 sq. ft. bundle in less than 8 1/2 minutes.

PILLOW PAK® Air Cushions are a better choice than traditional pre-made bubble.  One pallet of PILLOW PAK’R® Quilt Medium film is equivalent to a full truckload of ½” bubble packaging.  Environmentally Friendly, PILLOW PAK’R air cushions deliver a cost-effective, durable bubble material to your customers providing superior product cushioning and protection. It simultaneously provides an environmentally responsible product that is lightweight, recyclable and reusable.

Machine Specifications:

• Width 20”
• Height 18”
• Length 16”
• Weight 60 lbs.

Environmental Commitment FP International has a substantial record of environmental achievements. In 1990, FP International was the first company to recycle post-consumer, polystyrene foam packaging and use the recycled material to make new loosefill from 100% recycled material. FP International received national recognition with the Administrator’s Award from the US Environmental Protection Agency, and also received numerous state and local awards for environmental commitment and recycling programs. As of 2009, the company has recycled in excess of 140 million pounds of expanded polystyrene worldwide.

MONEY SAVING TIPS

 

Make your own bubble protective packaging as you need it.

24" wide bubble, now available! Eliminate the mess of packing peanuts and the storage required of premade bubble.
The space-saving MINI PAK'R® air cushion machine replaces traditional packing peanuts and is an important addition for any retailer’s ship from store program, small business shipper, ebay shipper, and pack-and-ship store.
Affordable, Easy, and Green
Our green air cushions are the next generation of sustainable packaging for businesses looking to address the environmental concerns of their customers. From manufacturing to disposal, our green air cushions are made to provide superior product protection while being environmentally friendly.
The MINI PAK'R provides instant protective packaging and makes bubble air cushions for wrapping, lining and void fill solutions. Now on-demand inflatable packaging is available to everyone! The MINI PAK'R has proven to be the perfect tool for national retailer's ship from store programs.
The MINI PAK’R is Big on its Small Footprint
You no longer need costly extra storage space for pre-made bubble, or protective packaging popcorn. The MINI PAK'R is an ideal way to help reduce your carbon footprint. One roll of inflatable packaging film replaces about seven bags of packing peanuts. Our MINI PAK'R makes seven different air cushions using the superior cushioning protection of NOVUS® films and the reliable void fill of CELL-O® films.
The large bubble void fill produced by the MINI PAK'R, reduces the amount of bubble required - saving money in shipping costs and storage space. It's easy to operate since the machine "reads" an RFID tag in the film and automatically sets the air fill amount and seal temperature. It fits packing tables or can be wall mounted, and carts are available for added mobility.
Who Should Use MINI PAK’R?
The MINI PAK'R is perfect for anyone shipping just a few packages to 150 boxes a day. Thousands of retailers, shipping companies, and ebay shippers have experienced the advantages of this bubble protective packaging machine. It’s time you did the same. Let us show you how.
MINI PAK’R helps you save a significant amount of time that can be used for other productive strategies aimed at expanding your business operations.

How you design a packing station

You Can Design An Efficient Packaging Station With These 5 Steps!!

5 Ways You Can Design a Successful Packing Station!!

 

1) Take Control Over the Use of Your “in-the-box” Packaging MaterialsUsing too much, too little, or the wrong packaging materials can lead to waste and product damage. Wrapnpack helps solve these issues with “fit-for-purpose” solutions that give you better control over your packing process, and put the right “in-the-box” materials in the hands of the packer:

• Multiple packaging materials conveniently integrated at individual workstations
• Programmable controls that dispense the right amount of paper or foam, and manage air fill
• Wide selection of AIRplus® air pillow and air cushion sizes
• Multiple PAPERplus® product choices to fit all cushioning and void-fill applications
• On-demand FOAMplus® systems with multiple foam density choices including our Universal Foam product that fits most packing applications and provides significant source reduction
• Standard and Biodegradable Loose-Fill
• Convenient, versatile PAD LOC® cushioning pads that cost-effectively replace custom packaging materials

2) Consider the CartonWhen it comes to the carton there are two considerations relating to your “in-the-box” packaging material costs. First, training workers to use the right size carton can reduce in-the-box material usage resulting in annual savings of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on your volume. Second, with the use of less durable cost-saving cartons it’s important to know that you can rely on Storopack packaging materials to support the carton and protect your products without added expense.

3) Plan for Sufficient WorkspaceUsing workspace efficiently is key. Crowding the packing area can interfere with workflow and slow down production. Again Storopack provides multiple options to utilize space as efficiently as possible and keep production moving.

• On-demand systems for air, foam and paper products
• Small footprint machines
• Integrated Delivery Systems providing materials to multiple work stations from a single source
• Overhead delivery and other space-saving storage
• Custom modification of machines to integrate directly into a worktable or speed line
• Air bag systems with automatic supply checks
• Automatic cushion film coiler

4) Automate in-the-box Packaging with ConfidenceWhile there is automated equipment offered for many packing tasks, you’ll find that incorporating Storopack machines for your in-the-box packaging materials provides multiple advantages. In addition, Storopack equipment is of the highest quality. Engineered to meet the needs of today’s packaging challenges and supported by thorough training and prompt professional service our systems offer:

• Speed and efficiency
• Easy and reliable operation
• Ease of integration
• The latest technology and capabilities

5) Design Packaging Stations with the Worker in MindProviding workers with proper ergonomics helps to prevent on-the-job injuries and increase throughput. Storopack machines and products provide the latest technology and worker-focused features. Plus, our expert integration engineers plan for optimal placement to ensure working comfort that enhances productivity.

• Stands that swivel and adjust to operator height
• Material loading accessibility and weight considerations
• Automated separation and cutting of materials to minimize handling
• Careful planning and placement to optimize productivity

Your products Stay cool for 5 days!!

Did you know that you can have cold chain packaging that will stay cold for 5 days??

Yes...thats right....we can help you test a cold chain solution that keeps your products at 2-8 degrees celsius for 5-6 days so you don't need to ship overnight!!!!
