Do Warehouse Managers Know They Have Been Doing It Wrong?

Are you still using glue to seal your packages that you’ll be shipping? If you are let me hit, you with some full uncensored truth about how you and large companies like FedEx & eBay have been going about sealing packages wrong for far too long and have been missing out on a more superior way to seal packages!

Glue, specifically hot glue, since the 1960s has been the new kid on the block when it comes to the packaging industry. It is favored because of its versatility compared to that of tape. And as important as strong boxes and packing materials are to any company like online sellers FedEx & eBay, choosing the wrong kind of glue for the various needs in transit, storage and packing can result in intense frustration, expensive breakage, lost time and money, compromised storage and even physical harm should a box suddenly spills open at the worst moment because of not enough glue being used, it being expired or whatever gimmick glue you bought (waterproof) isn’t what was advertised.

Here is the deal. The glue you’re using, it’s not very reliable and that will cost you. For example, how much glue is enough glue when sealing a package? If your packages are accidentally opening during the assembly, storage, or distribution process, it’s likely a sign that you’re using too little glue. While you may be trying to use less glue to help lower your overall packaging cost, you’re being foolish. The time and effort it takes to go back and re-apply adhesive to open packages, not to mention the costs of products that are lost or damaged because of packaging falling apart, outweigh any potential savings. Then on the flip side using too much glue is a problem as well. Not only is it wasteful and expensive, but it may also lead to additional packaging issues, such as a longer set time or stringing that mars the package’s exterior.

So, Do You…

1) Hope for the best and use a large amount of glue?
2) Prepare for the worst using a small amount of glue?
3) Spitball it and just use however much you want?

No, no and no! Doesn’t matter how much glue you use; you can’t trust that it be enough, and, in the end, it will cost you. Either because your packages are falling apart from not enough glue or you’re paying up to $480 for a bulk of glue because you used too much. You need to be able to bond your packages with trust without breaking the bank.

What you need is an Ideal Stitching Machine. While it stitches (staples) boxes not bond them like glue, our machines are the superior method for sealing, as they seal boxes with steel staples that will take the frustration out of the packaging. Unlike glue our, there are no gimmicks or guessing how much is enough to seal your packages, just 10 quick stitches, for the average box, and your package is sealed with steel.
Even better instead of buying a bulk of glue that can cost up to $480+ on the glue that you can’t trust to get the job done in a mess-free manner, Each box of steel wire holds 2 rolls of 25 lbs. of steel wire and will give you 30,000 stitches to use to seal all your packages. Like I said earlier the average box only needs 10 of these staples to be perfectly sealed, our machine can produce 310 staples a minute making sealing a box infinitely quicker than using glue or tape. And get this all you pay $128.50 for the wire saving you over $200 rather than buying $400 worth of glue in bulk which will save your company lots of money in the long run. A very worthwhile investment when you sit down and think of how much you save going with us. We’re Americas best-kept secret!

Imagine joining a long list of major companies whose warehouse packaging operations have improved dramatically by our machines. Companies like Anheuser-Busch whose great beers like Budweiser and Bud Light are fueled by passion and with our machine packaged with a passion too. Or Fastenal, who ship fasteners, tools, and supplies they need to manufacture products, build structures, protect personnel, and maintain facilities and equipment to other companies all over the country. They need to count on their boxes of products being able to make the trip without coming apart or being smothered in residual glue and Ideal machines make sure that they can do so.
