Puncture resistant packaging supports sewn fabric dunnage that lasts longer and supports the bottom line. In the automotive and heavy truck industries, parts that are designed to lock into place can tear reusable packaging during loading and unloading. Small rips can become big holes, and parts bags that lack sufficient strength won’t last long. Torn fabric
Reusable packaging materials include brushed tricot fabric for sewn fabric dunnage. Brushed tricot is a soft, liner material that can be used with Class A surfaces such as chrome parts or faux wood panels. This packaging material offers numerous advantages, but the brushing process makes tricot prone to attracting dirt. If parts with Class A
Here are the top reusable packaging posts of 2017. From packaging design to rack bag manufacturing, Hold-True explains what you need to know. Rack Bag Design for Sewn, Reusable Fabric Dunnage Rack bag design isn’t just about pocket size or material selection. It’s not just about computer aided design (CAD) software either. Fabric Dunnage: How Dirty Rack
Class A surfaces include chrome grills and faux wood panels. To prevent scratching, parts bags use a soft liner material. Brush tricot fabric is a good choice, but this reusable packaging material is also “dirt magnet”. For packaging engineers, effective material selection is a key part of product design. To make an informed decision, engineers
Velcro straps are used to secure loads in sewn fabric dunnage. Velcro, a type of mechanical fastener, is easier to open and close than cams, buckles, zippers, or other hardware. With Velcro, two layers of fabric are pressed together or pulled apart. One layer contains tiny hooks. The other layer contains tiny loops. Booth layers
Automotive rack bags package and protect parts that are used in the assembly of cars, trucks, and other vehicles. Typically, this type of sewn fabric dunnage is used with visible Class A surfaces that need to resist scratching. Examples include chrome grills, faux wood panels, and plastic fender fairings. Rack bags aren’t the only type
Custom Tyvek for reusable packaging combines the advantages of Tyvek® with a reinforcing scrim and easy-to-clean surface. Tyvek, a registered trademark of DuPont, is a synthetic material that’s made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) fibers. Tyvek supports industrial sewing and lamination, and can be used to build multi-layer packaging materials that save you time and money.
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
