Has your accounting department ever pointed out how much money your company spends on packaging? If not, it may be time someone asked the question. Sometimes the money needed just for the consumables can mount to a mind-numbing sum. But what are you going to do? No point in manufacturing your product if you don't take the next step and get it to market, right? What if there was a strapping technique that eliminated the use of crimps? Just ponder that possibility for a moment. No seals to purchase, use once, and purchase again. No jaw component to maintain and repair on your strapping equipment. What if your steel banding was joined by a weld instead? A strong welded joint would mean fewer straps breaking in transit. In fact, it might mean fewer straps required to do the job. Now there's something concrete for the accounting department: less straps per bundle. How much money would that save? No lumps and bumps at the strapping joint could mean better stacking and less damage to your products. The weld seal process for joining strapping requires only a small flat surface on your bundle, so it's workable for most applications. The process is also AAR approved, so it can handle shipments going around the corner or around the world. The full penetration welding type uses proven reliable technology with 90% joint efficiency. If it ain't broke, don't fix it? What if not fixing it is going to make your company go broke? It's an onerous task to research new techniques and new products, calculate the investments and break-evens, develop a plan for making the change-over, and implement a significantly new system into your manufacturing cycle. But some of your competitors may be doing just that. Everyone's always on the lookout for cost savings that don't sacrifice the quality of the end product. It's possible that there are savings and efficiencies to be had at the last moment before your finished goods go out the door.
