Learning The Use Of Slip Sheets

By Amanda Baird


New materials that are now widely use in protecting transported goods are the slip sheets. They are thin boards in pallet size that are in a heavy lamination. They come in different forms like the fiber or solid craft boards, the corrugated ones or the plastic types and there are some which combine several materials.

Commercial shipping currently use this approach in the transport of goods replacing the traditional use of wooden pallets as a new method have been found to be more efficient. They could be used by stretching or wrapping around the unit load making a strong protection for the transit. They can make the entire set of shipment stable.

Since these products come in different types, knowing what suits the need for a kind of shipment is very important. Each type has its own distinctive quality which depends on the unit load of the goods. The shape, size and dimension of the shipment must be put into consideration as well as the loading patterns and parameters.

The most basic type is the sheath made of simple typically clear plastic. It could fit over the finished products to be transported while some are being fitted to the inner dimensions of the boxes according to the order. The goods can also be in stack on a pallet by this approach and just then be strapped in place.

One type that consists of two outer lining boards and a corrugated interior bonded together by adhesives or glue is called the corrugated kind. This is suitable for those products that have to be clamped by a push and pull device twice or even more. It is as well more cost effective and allows hauling through a conveyor or even a lift truck.

Paper or fiber boards are another option which could be utilized as a stacking platform for products the same method as those used in wooden platforms. These boards are usually paired with plastics sheaths that would fit over the products. Shrink wraps could also be utilized to lessen damage and shifting risks.

Polyethylene with a high density which are just recycled commonly make up the heavy plastic kind. It also allows increased usage having durability withstanding cold and humid. It has a longer material life with greater lip extension strength and easy handling by conveyor or other devices.

This new approach could be used could be used to pack goods covering a wide range of kinds. The non perishable products that are usually transported are electronic gadgets as well as parts, textiles and clothing. It is also possible to ship perishable products even those frozen foods.

The greatest benefit of slip sheets is that they are more cost efficient compared to those traditional methods. There would be no more need for assessing another charge to the client for the pallets used. Adding to all these advantages, this approach importantly gives adequate protection to the shipment.
