4 Great Reasons Why You Should Switch to FROMM’s Airpad Protective Packaging Film

Proper packaging is a necessity in modern business. With shipping, handling and storage forming a large part of goods delivery, protecting your product is vital to secure profit margins and keep customers happy. The challenge is to make sure that your chosen solution is effective, practical, sustainable as well as affordable. FROMM’s Airpad protective packaging film delivers on all of these requirements, and more.

Typically, protection inside packages are provided by products such as bubble wrap, void-filling styrofoam beans or pellets, or paper. The problems with these products are that they add a significant amount of weight, which can increase transportation or shipping costs, they are not environmentally friendly, and they can become an expensive addition to your overhead costs.

However, not using some sort of protection in your packages is not worth the risk. It can lead to damage, profit loss and unsatisfied customers. Luckily, FROMM’s Airpad protective packaging film provides the solution you need.

Let’s take a look at some of the most compelling reasons why you should switch to FROMM’s Airpad protective packaging film:

1. Superior protection

The Airpad product protection and void-filling material consists of air cushions available in many different sizes, which are vertically and horizontally connected and wound into large rolls. These strips are laterally perforated, allowing you to tear off the appropriate length of cushion material required. This means that you can fill any and every space perfectly. The film is very strong and can handle high pressures, making it a reliable protective unit.

2. Lower costs

Airpad protective material consists of 99% air and 1% film. Less material, less weight and less storage space result in lower costs and substantial overall savings. In fact, the savings over competitive systems are between 30 and 50%, while the lower weight also results in substantial freight savings.

3. Extremely versatile

Airpads are clean, free of dust, antistatic, and very strong, ensuring that they are suitable for a wide range of industries and applications, including:

  • Automotive spare parts
  • Computers
  • Electronics
  • Communication
  • Cosmetics
  • Lamps/lights
  • Logistics
  • Machines
  • Furniture
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Software
  • Mail orders

4. Environmentally sustainable

Airpads are reusable and recyclable. Furthermore, compared to other protective packaging solutions, airpads use much less material, which means that much less goes to waste once they are discarded.

Your Essential Guide to Plastic Strapping Tools

When it comes to packaging, bundling and protecting goods, plastic strapping tools lead the field in terms of versatility and usefulness. Suitable for just about any type of goods your business produces, these handy machines are used to tension PP (polypropylene) and PET (polyester) straps around goods, boxes, stacks and pallets to make handling easier, faster and safer.

Uses of plastic strapping tools

The main reasons for using these tools are to secure and protect goods, as well as make it easier to handle, transport and store the goods. This is done by applying tension straps around the boxes that the goods are packed in, which can help reduce theft, spilling or other losses. By bundling and securing goods together and, in some instances, attaching these goods to pallets, the goods are easier to stack and handle.

The benefits include:

  • easier and faster handling, which can save you time and money;
