Advantages of Linear Low Density Can Liners

1. Maximum puncture and stretch resistance compared to High Density
2. Multi-purpose applications
3. Most prevalent type of film used in the industry today.
4. Manufactured in a wide variety of colors.
5. Compared to traditional low density film, linear low can be run at a lighter gauge with equal strength.

Advantages of High Density Can Liners

1. HMW/HD liners are about 3 times stronger and more durable than ordinary polyethylene liners of the same thickness.
2. HMW/HD liners require two-thirds less petroleum based raw material to manufacture. Accordingly, they can be made about one-third the thickness of ordinary low density polyethylene liners, so they require only about one-third the ordinary shipping, storage and warehousing cost.
3. Substantial cost savings per liner.
4. When they are properly made, HMW/HD liners will rarely “zipper” if punctured.
5. Extremely wide range of temperature resistance from -40 degrees F to +212 degrees F (boiling).
6. USDA and FDA approved (natural colored liners).

Stickers

Stickers are very widely used when an object requires identification with a word or idea. Brand stickers may be attached to products to identify those products as coming from a certain company. They may also be used to describe characteristics of the products that would not be obvious from simple examination. A Label dispenser is often used as a convenient way to separate the sticky label from its liner or backing tape.

They are frequently distributed as part of promotional, advertising, and political campaigns; for example, in many voting districts in the U.S., stickers indicating an individual has voted are given to each voter as they leave the polling place, largely as a reminder to others to vote. Other methods of underground forms of voting for your favorite graffiti artists’ current productions are by an open form of appreciation such as clapping while passing such a sticker (a smile and a kind reminder to a fellow appreciator throughout the day is commonplace as well).

Stickers placed on automobile bumpers, called bumper stickers, are often used by individuals as a way of demonstrating support for political or ideological causes. Identification of vehicle registration and last service details are two examples of stickers on the inside of most car windscreens. The term “window sticker” is generally used for vinyl labels which are stuck to the inside of a vehicle’s window, as opposed to water-resistant stickers that are stuck to the outside of a vehicle but can be affixed to anything.

Another common use for stickers is embellishing scrapbooking pages. With the advent of this very popular craft, every type of sticker imaginable can now be found: acrylic, 3D, cardstock, epoxy, fabric, flocked, sparkly, paper, puffy, vellum and so much more. While in the earlier days of scrapbooking stickers were sold mostly on 2″x6″ sheets, now 6″x12″ and even 12″x12″ size sheets are very common.

Product Label

Permanent product identification by a label is common. These labels need to be able to bond securely to the surface for its intended life and under in-use conditions. For example a label on an automobile engine needs to be resistant to the heat and oils encountered and to be secure for many years of use.

Removable product labels need to hold until they must be removed. For example, a label on a new refrigerator has installation and usage information: the label needs to be able to be removed cleanly and easily from the unit once installed.

An eco-label is used on consumer products (including foods) to identify products that may be less damaging to the environment and/or to humankind than other related products.

Care Label

In textiles,a label or other affixed instructions that report how a product should be refurbished

Package label

Packaging often has labels attached to (or integral with) the package. These communicate pricing, bar codes, UPC identification, usage guidance, addresses, advertising, etc. They also may be used to help resist or indicate tampering or pilferage.

Mailing label

Letters and packages need labels to identify the addressee and the sender. Many software packages such as word processor and contact manager programs produce standardized mailing labels from a data set that comply with postal standards. These labels may also include routing bar codes and special handling requirements to expedite delivery.

Labels can be attached by:

• Pressure sensitive adhesives (also called PSA or self-stick) are applied with light pressure without activation or heat. PSA labels often have release liners which protect the adhesive and assist label handling.
• Heat activated adhesives: for example, “in-mold labeling” can be part of blow molding containers and employs heat activated adhesives.
• Wet glue (starch, dextrin, PVA, etc) or water moistenable gummed adhesive
• String or Twine for tying on a label
• Rivets used to attach information plates to industrial equipment
• Shrink wrap for printed shirinkable labels placed over packages and then submitted to heat for shrinage
• Sewing for clothing, tents, mattresses, industrial sacks, etc
• etc

Adhesive types

• Permanent – Typically not designed to be removed without tearing the stock, damaging the surface, or using solvents. The adhesion strength and speed can also be varied. For example, full adhesion can be nearly instant, or the label can be almost removable for a short period with full adhesion developing in minutes or hours.

• Removable – Adhesion is fairly strong and will not fall off in normal circumstances, but the label can be removed relatively easily without tearing the base stock or leaving adhesive behind on the old surface. The adhesive is usually strong enough to be applied again elsewhere.

TiltWatch XTR

How it Works:

When the package is tilted past 80 degrees the indicator will turn red. The TiltWatch Indicator does not go off during the normal shifting of the package during transit but only when the package is mishandled.

• Moisture Proof- will not be affected by moisture or other envi-ronmental conditions. It is safe to use for packages being sent in humid conditions
• Tamper Proof- Uses a high tack adhesive, guaranteeing a perma-nent stick to the box even if it is rough, or possibly wooden sur-face
• Vibration Proof- It has a design that is patented to ensure that
• Nonresettable “auto-arm” feature- Once the adhesive has been removed from the back of the application, it cannot be reset

TiltWatch Plus

Exposure to harsh conditions and temperature during shipping and storage is a problem for several industries. Our Environmental indicators and recorders such as the ColdMark, WarmMark, WarmMark Duo, WarmMark Long Run, and HeatWatch, each monitor temperature for different products.

• Plasma/blood/vaccinations

HeatWatch

The mishandling of fragile, sensitive or calibrated products has caused issues in the packaging industry for years. ShockWatch Impact Indicators detect and record these problems while products are in transit. With limited options for recovering damage costs, businesses began seeking a new alternative to cutting damage out of their packaging process.

ShockWatch Impact Indicators change the handling environment without the need of redesigning the packaging, your product or changing carriers. This sensible alternative to packaging shipping and handling will reduce your bottom line costs.

ShockWatch™ Damage Prevention: Eliminate Yield Losses, Lost Calibration and Warranty Abuse

ShockWatch™ products answer the call to lower yield losses, product damage and warranty abuse. When products are rejected at inspection, a yield loss occurs. With yield losses, a company can be affected numerous ways. A daily yield loss between 5-20 percent is not uncommon in the manufacturing business; however, the potential for cost savings in packaging is extremely high.

The Shockwatch™ and Tiltwatch shipping and handling indicators can apply to almost any product shipping situation including:

• Semiconductor devices
• Aerospace and Military Equipment
• Automotive components
• Glass products
• Commercial appliances
• Machinery
• Lab equipment
• Storage media
• Electronics
• Furniture
