Cost-effective Solutions:
Flexpak aims to collaborate with its customers in order to identify potential packaging and shipping issues to create the perfect pallet cover for the goods being shipped. From plastic thickness (measured in mils) to print options, to design, all variables when developing the most cost-effective solution. When thinking about what kind of pallet cover is best for a customer, consider a pallet cover continuum: on one side of the pallet cover continuum is a product unpalletized and on the other extreme there is a bullet-proof pallet cover with HD 3-D graphics. As one moves up the continuum, so does the relative cost. The cost effective solution is to identify where on the continuum the pallet cover can be while still meeting all the needs of a customer/consumer.
There are several considerations when choosing a pallet cover:
How will this product be shipped?
Will the pallet cover be stapled or strapped?
What kind of graphics are needed?
Does the pallet cover need to be waterproof?
Will the pallet be moved by forklift or pallet-jack?
Will the pallet cover spend its life-cycle outside or inside?
Will the pallet cover be applied to every produced pallet of goods?
Does the pallet cover need reinforcement?
Does the pallet cover have an irregular shape?
Will the pallets be stacked?
Understanding requirements such as those listed above can define the baseline for developing a cost effective pallet cover. Flexpak works with customers daily to develop pallet covers to the application requirements needed. Contact Flexpak at any point to discuss pallet cover potential for your company.
