COOLER WRAPS

THE CORRUGATED ALTERNATIVE

COOLER WRAPS were developed by PLASTILITE CORPORATION as an economical alternative to placing coolers inside boxes as mandated by some shipping companies.  They have gone through evaluation by UPS testing labs and have been found to be compatible within their system.  With prior approval, packages using COOLER WRAPS can be exempt from handling fees otherwise associated with non-boxed coolers.

OTHER ADVANTAGES

>> Generally less expensive than boxes.
>> Eliminates shipping weight of corrugated.
>> Tamper proof and tight lid seal.
>> Quick and labor saving self-adhesive closures.
>> Packages clearly marked as perishable.
>> Custom printing available in larger runs.

Turn film over and attaché adhesive side to the approximate center of bottom of the cooler.  Turn cooler back over to pack.  If cooler goes through a conveyer or pick pack system simply put loose ends inside the open cooler until ready to seal.  Adhesive is not sensitive to moisture. cooler_adhesive_strip-2.jpg

Damages to most coolers in transit tend to come from the inside out due to shifting (and mostly heavier) payloads.  Though COOLER WRAPS actually add more direct support to 4 sides than a box, additional security for some products can be easily achieved by wrapping once or twice around the cooler ends with any packaging tape. cooler_adhesive_strip-4.jpg
