Salesmaster has introduced a new water based adhesive to their packaging materials product line,  3M™ Fast Tack water based adhesive 1000NF. The adhesive is an alterative to popular solvent based adhesives, and features many improvements and advantages over traditional water based adhesives.

Never before has there been a water based adhesive that can compare in bonding strength and performance to solvent based adhesives. This one spray adhesive is the first to contain zero VOCs*, ensuring better workplace safety.

3M™ Fast Tack water based adhesive 1000NF performs better than typical water based adhesives, with faster bonding times and stronger holds comparable to solvent adhesives. Contact your Salesmaster representative today to schedule a free 3 minute demonstration of 3M™ Fast Tack water based adhesive 1000NF at your facility.

New Safety Features

3M™ Fast Tack water based adhesive 1000NF  has been designed with safety in mind, containing zero VOCs* and non-flammable in its wet state. The adhesive is polychloropene-free and GREENGUARD Children and Schools? certified, making the adhesive an environmentally sound alternative to solvent-based adhesives.

Faster Bonding Time

The new 3M water based adhesive available through Salesmaster has a bonding speed of only one-minute, in comparison to other water based adhesives which take approximately 5 minutes. This quicker bondage increases production, letting you get more done in less time.

Versatile Applications

The potential for one surface application increases production and profitability. 3M™ Fast Tack water based adhesive 1000NF is applicable on a variety of substrates, including wood, metal, and fabric. The water based adhesive tacks up quickly like solvent based adhesive, yet is repositionable during the wet state, providing a flexible and reworkable application process.

Salesmaster offers various types of thermal transfer labels and ribbons, and direct thermal transfer labels in both stock and custom sizing options. Salesmaster has a competitive selection of thermal labels, assuring you the highest label printing performance for your applications.

Salesmaster offers a variety of thermal transfer labels, thermal ribbons, and direct thermal labels.

Thermal Transfer Labels

Choose from our variety of thermal transfer labels, made only from the freshest materials. Our high quality selection provides you with crisp, clear printing and a durable label designed with a long shelf life, capable of withstanding ink for lengths of time.

Thermal transfer labels are printed using a thermal ribbon, which when heated, transfers ink to the label. Due to the nature of printing and longevity of thermal transfer labels, these labels are ideal in shipping, product identification, barcode applications, and part bins.

Salesmaster carries a range of thermal transfer labels including:

• Rolls – 3″ core
• Rolls – Kimdura
• Rolls – Polyester
• Rolls – Color (Color code products and equipment for easy tracking and identification- all colors available.)
• Rolls – Uncut/Contin.
• Rolls – Wound In
• Fanfolded
• Fanfolded Specialties

Salesmaster carries two types of thermal ribbons including:

• Wax
• Resin

Salesmaster carries thermal labels in a variety of types and sizes, including stock or custom options.

Direct Thermal Labels

Salesmaster offers a variety of direct thermal labels, capable of all temperature applications including freezer applications. Quality direct thermal printing requires no ribbon in comparison to thermal transfer labels.

Direct thermal labels are printed using heat activated paper, therefore getting around the need for a thermal ribbon. Unlike thermal transfer labels, direct thermal labels are only available to print in black. Due to the shorter lifespan of these labels, and tendency to darken over time or with wear, these labels are more ideally used in the food industry, as food items have a shorter shelf cycle and are less likely to be stored in harsh environments.

Salesmaster carries a range of thermal transfer labels including:

• Rolls – 1″ Core
• Rolls – 3″ Core
• Rolls – Mini Printer
• Fanfolded
• Fanfolded Specialties

Honeycomb is a lightweight yet extremely strong and durable custom-engineered kraft paper material that is an economical solution for a broad range of packaging applications.

Fairless Hills PA, March 2012 — Salesmaster Corp., a supplier of packaging products and equipment throughout the Northeast, has partnered with Multi-Wall Corp., a provider of a variety of packaging design solutions. Salesmaster can now provide sales and service for the rugged and cost effective Honeycomb product line which is used for packaging, pallets, dunnage, furniture inner structures and signage displays.Honeycomb is a lightweight yet extremely strong and durable custom-engineered kraft paper material that is an economical solution for a broad range of packaging applications. As the Honeycomb agent in northeastern and mid-Atlantic US, Salesmaster offers the complete Honeycomb line including custom designed Honeycomb options for specialty packaging needs.

“Our customers now have access to Honeycomb packaging which is probably the strongest and most versatile kraft packaging material available,” said Tom Northrop, sales manager at Salesmaster. “Multi-Wall’s experience with Honeycomb lets us offer great options like die-cutting and fan-folding — basically we can customize Honeycomb to meet any request.” Northrop said the addition of Honeycomb packaging to Salesmaster’s line “opens up new markets for our customers which means new sales opportunities.” With the addition of Honeycomb packaging the Salesmaster product line is among the most comprehensive of any packaging products supplier in the eastern United States.

Honeycomb packaging is engineered for strength and ruggedness. Individual bands of kraft paper are joined together into a series of continuous hexagonal cells. The cells are faced on both sides with thick kraft creating an I-beam type of construction. The facing of the panel acts as the flange of the I-beam and the core cells as its web. The flange disperses tension and compression across the surface of the panel to neutralize forces and protect contents. The web holds the flanges together to maintain the strength and integrity of the material.

Moisture-resistant Honeycomb packaging is available in four basic styles: reverse slit score, cookie cut, die cut and pressure sensitive. Details of each style are described in a brochure available from Salesmaster. Additionally, Salesmaster can help packaging engineers develop innovative Honeycomb products designed to perform specific packaging functions such as cushioning or support.

This is accomplished by specialized cutting and folding of Honeycomb packaging which permits the creation of a wide range of stylized packaging formats. The process is used to make task-specific items like runners, corner supports, audio speaker trays and small structural pieces such as those used to add strength to furniture during shipping. Honeycomb is also available with pressure sensitive backing to create supports that stay in place. Stylized Honeycomb pieces are much easier to handle than bulk packaging materials which are cumbersome and may require cutting before installation whereas Honeycomb pre-engineered pieces fit into place quickly and easily.

In addition to Honeycomb packaging, the Salesmaster/Multi-Wall partnership also creates an immediate access channel to versatile single face corrugate and roll cradles. Single face corrugated paper is an economical protective packaging material used for both cushioning and wrapping applications. Manufactured from recycled corrugated material, single face is an environmentally friendly alternative to packaging films and foams. Single face is commonly used to wrap spooled material, as sheet glass separators, for glass and bottle wrap and as floor liner.

Roll cradles are ideal for protecting rolled goods from damage while in transit or storage. Durable and reusable, roll cradles are stackable and commonly used to ship textile rolls, rolled metals, roofing materials and sheet plastic rolls. As with all Salesmaster products, roll cradles are available in a wide range of sizes to accommodate varying needs.

Salesmaster/Multi-Wall products are recyclable and biodegradable to support green initiatives. Additionally the material is approved by organizations such as the Food and Drug Administration, US Postal Service, Department of Defense and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Salesmaster’s experienced personnel can assist in selecting the appropriate packaging solutions to fit your business needs. For more information call 215-295-2300 or visit salesmastercorp.com.

Honeycomb packaging 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.

Four Honeycomb styles sure to meet the needs of any packaging application.

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.
