Plastic doors for fabric dunnage need to protect parts and withstand the environment. They also need to provide visibility so that workers can see what’s inside of rack bags without opening and closing the doors unnecessarily. Choosing the right door material is important, but packaging engineers should also consider how plastic doors attach to sewn
Brushed tricot fabric for reusable packaging is a soft liner material that can be used with Class A surfaces such as chrome parts or faux wood panels. Tricot offers numerous advantages, but the brushing process also makes it a “dirt magnet”. For rack bag designers, deciding whether to use brushed tricot fabric is an important
Coated fabrics and laminated fabrics are used in sewn fabric dunnage to help protect parts during packaging, shipping, and assembly. Part shapes, sizes, and surfaces vary, but rack bag designers generally want fabric dunnage materials that are strong, lightweight, and long-lasting. Laminated fabrics can provide useful properties such as strength and durability, but some packaging
Fabric dunnage materials include laminated fabrics and coated fabrics that help to protect parts during packaging, shipping, and assembly. Rack bag designers want fabrics that are strong and lightweight, but that are also long-lasting. Depending on the application environment, packaging engineers may also need fabric dunnage materials that are water-proof, puncture-resistant, and easy-to-clean. For financial
Fabric dunnage that’s not puncture-resistant can shred the best packaging designs. For example, in the automotive and heavy truck industries, parts that are designed to lock into place can tear rack bags during parts loading and unloading. Small rips can become big holes, and parts bags that lack sufficient strength won’t last long. Torn fabric
Designers of sewn fabric dunnage need to choose the right thread for rack bags that deliver a strong return on investment (ROI). Lower-cost threads may seem like a bargain, but using a thread that’s too thin (and too weak) can cause rack bag seams to fail. Threads that can’t withstand part loading and unloading, kitting,
Sewn fabric dunnage that fails can cost you time and money during packaging, shipping, kitting, and assembly. That’s why manufacturers, parts suppliers, rack fabricators, and logistics teams want rack bags where the seams won’t rip. Sometimes, however, seam failure happens when there’s no damage to the fabric dunnage itself. By understanding why this happens, you
Made in USA fabric dunnage supports good-paying jobs in the automotive, heavy truck, power sports, and aerospace industries. American-made rack bags also help U.S. companies compete with foreign firms in terms of worker productivity, assembly line efficiency, and product quality. By strengthening industrial supply chains, sewn fabric dunnage that’s Made in America can support reshoring
Fabric dunnage suppliers support supply chains in the automotive, heavy truck, power sports, and aerospace industries. Sourcing managers want sewn fabric dunnage that’s cost-effective, but the cheapest parts bags aren’t necessarily the best choice. For reusable packaging that meets all of your company’s needs, vendor selection is critical. By choosing a fabric dunnage supplier with
Sewn fabric dunnage isn’t just a way to store and ship parts. It’s an important part of your supply chain. This returnable packaging protects sensitive components and puts what assemblers need right at their fingertips. Without the right fabric dunnage, workers won’t have what they need to get the job done. Parts bags that are
