When it comes to packages and loads that are difficult and heavy, there’s no better way to seal them up than with filament tape. This packing tape is embedded with strands of fiberglass, providing superior tensile strength for your most demanding jobs. However, these fiberglass strands can also make the tape difficult to tear into individual strips.

That’s where a filament tape dispenser comes in. This device features an ergonomic, tensionable grip, as well as a retractable cutter blade that easily slices through the filament tape. In this article, we will cover how to load and operate a filament tape dispenser.

The Stretchorcist

Something’s wrong with Vrunda MacNeil, the girl from down the lane. It seemed innocent at first when she began talking to an imaginary friend who she claimed was a delivery man, but things quickly turned sinister. Seemingly out of nowhere, the furniture shakes and moves on its own, strips of plastic film creep in from the corners of the walls, and previously loose articles are suddenly bundled and palletized. Fearing the worst, her mother calls the local packaging supply company to perform a stretchorcism, where evil and low-quality packaging materials are dispelled from the home. When the two packaging experts arrive, they find

While ebooks and audiobooks have never been more popular, printed books remain a major force in modern literature. In fact, 767.36 million printed books were sold in 2023 in the United States alone. Despite what many might think, print media is not going away anytime soon.

Unfortunately, printed books aren’t terribly durable. Paper is thin and fragile and books are liable to bend and tear. However, you are still more than capable of shipping your favorite books without worrying about damaging them. In this literate article, we will cover how to ship a book and what to expect when you ship.

Choose Your Packaging

Your choice of packaging depends on what exactly you’re shipping.

If you’re shipping around 1-4 books, you’re likely better off using a mailing envelope. Boxes come in a set size and if you’re not using

Packaging can be quite stressful, but perhaps not in the way you’re thinking. While you may be dealing with the stresses of deadlines, customer demands, and daily operations, your packing tape will encounter a different kind of stress: adhesive stress.

Adhesive stress refers to how the adhesive bond is pulled, stretched, and otherwise deformed when acted upon by external forces. In this sticky article, we will go over the five types of stress your tape will face throughout packaging and shipping.

Tensile Stress

Tensile stress occurs when the adhesive bond is elongated or pulled apart by external forces moving away from each other. The direction of the pulling is perpendicular to the bond and the stress is distributed evenly across the surface.

Whether you’re a construction worker on the jobsite, or a DIY-er looking to improve their home, you want to keep the areas you’re not working on safe from the areas you are working on. The last thing you need when you’re in the middle of a project is your floors getting stained or damaged. That, and a devastating apocalyptic event.

Luckily for you, surface protection tape is available to answer your safeguarding needs. This adhesive film is easily unrolled onto your floors and keeps them safe from debris, stains, scrapes, and other kinds of common damage. However, some important steps need to be taken to ensure that your hard surface or carpet protection tape stays in place and works properly.

Clean the Surface

Before you apply an inch of tape, you need to clean the surfaces you intend to protect. For hard surfaces, dust and sweep to get rid of loose specks and particles. Then, mop your hard surfaces and let them dry before applying

On Monday, August 8^th, 2024, the moon will pass directly in front of the sun and create a total solar eclipse. Those in the path of totality of the so-called “Great North American Eclipse” will get to witness a potentially once-in-a-lifetime event:

Hopefully, you’ve already stocked up on CE and ISO-certified 12312-2 solar eclipse glasses that block harmful infrared and ultraviolet rays when you watch the eclipse. But there’s more to the eclipse than just what’s in the sky; in fact, there are plenty of phenomena happening all around that you can’t miss out on. With the help of our very own packaging supplies, here are three solar eclipse experiments you can perform to make the most of it.

Pinhole

When you need to stick two surfaces together, it’s hard to beat double-sided tape! This convenient tool features a coating of adhesive on both sides of its backing. Double-sided tape is not only great for household repairs and DIY projects, but it is also used professionally in industries like construction and medicine. In this article, we’ve provided a video and step-by-step instructions on how to use double sided tape.

Portion Off a Section of Tape

First, unroll your tape to your desired length and cut the section of tape with either a pair of scissors or the serrated blade of a tape dispenser.

You’ve probably heard this joke before: Something isn’t moving and it should? Use lubricant. Something is moving and it shouldn’t? Use duct tape.

While this “advice” isn’t applicable to all situations, it does speak to the power of duct tape. Since its invention in the 1940s, duct tape has been a staple in homes and workspaces alike. It’s been used by repairmen, the military, and even by astronauts.

But we’re not repairing space shuttles or helicopters. Rather, we fight the battle of the homefront: household repairs and quick fixes that only duct tape can solve. In this durable and sticky article, we will go over some of the most common uses of duct tape, including some you may have never heard of before.
