Researchers at Clemson University conducted studies into consumer behavior that show that products in clear plastic packaging are more than 400 % more attractive to consumers than identical products in printed paperboard boxes.

The results showed that plastic packaged items were easier to find, were viewed more often, and for longer, than printed paperboard boxes. And participants were four times more likely to purchase the plastic-packaged items than the equivalent paperboard-packaged items.

The research was conducted done on a sample of participants who identified themselves as the primary shopper for their household, and with a “fairly diverse” income distribution.

To protect fragile, sensitive or irreplaceable items for shipping, wrap them in bubble wrap, with the bubbles facing the product. Bubble wrap protects all surfaces of the item and the external plastic will distribute any impact amongst the packaging.

Polyethylene bubble wrap comes in many sizes. The range is 1/4 inch diameter, to one inch. The larger the bubbles, the higher level of shock absorption. But in addition to the shock absorption qualities of bubble pack, Atlantic Poly also offers anti-static bubble wrap for shipping sensitive electronic parts and equipment. Static can damage electronic chips. By using anti-static bubble wrap the static charge is removed.

The loss from product damage results in a hit to your bottom line every time. Whether you are transporting pallets of product around your warehouse or when shipping by land, sea, or air consider stretch film.
 
Stretch film provides exceptional security measure over tie straps. Why is stretch film a superior option? Because stretch film provides greater pallet stability at a fraction of the cost. Tie straps wear and tear and often do not return from their destination.

Both handheld and machine held stretch wrap also provides protection to your product in storage. Stretch wraps will help protect your stock from dust and moisture, which can reduce the risk from mold, UV damage, internal pilfering and pests.

Product damage and loss is a direct hit to your net profit.  Contact Atlantic Poly for more information on stretch film and shrink wrap.

Vapor barriers are typically defined as  a plastic or foil sheet used  for damp proofing that resists diffusion of moisture through the walls, ceiling and floors of buildings and of packaging. Building codes have classified vapor barriers as having a water vapor permeance of 1 perm or less. Vapor retarding materials are generally categorized as: Impermeable, semi-permeable,  or permeable.

Insulation alone is often not enough to keep heat from escaping. Most of a buildings heat loss is from air movement or air infiltration through the walls.

Construction companies need vapor barriers. Plastic vapor barriers or vapor retarders from Atlantic Poly is polyethylene sheeting or construction film which provides simple, versatile and inexpensive protection to keep the warm air from escaping through or around the insulation and other building components.

It can be used in numerous industrial, agricultural and construction applications. Contact Atlantic Poly for more information.
