Don't Ignore The Anti-slip Paper When Buying Plastic Pallets! It Can Really Save Your Money
In the warehousing and logistics scene, many companies often encounter situations after buying plastic pallets: stacked cardboard boxes slide and tilt during transportation, bagged goods shift due to the smooth surface of the pallet, bottled products collide and break... These problems may seem like the goods are not placed steadily, but actually, the anti-slip measures of the plastic pallets are not in place.
In fact, sliding and tilting of goods during stacking and transportation are the main causes of damage. As an economical and controllable anti-slip measure, anti-slip paper can effectively protect flexible packaging products and reduce transportation risks. As a provider of customized flexible packaging solutions, MTPAK has provided various flexible packaging material selections, structural design, and ground sampling services to hundreds of brands for a long time, ensuring transportation safety, barrier performance, and compliance.
If you are planning to buy plastic pallets, don't ignore the huge role of the amazing anti-slip paper. Feel free to contact MTPAK at any time for customized procurement plans for plastic pallet anti-slip paper.
What are anti-slip pallet paper sheets?
Anti-slip paper sheets/pallet slip sheets are a type of packaging paper with a special anti-slip coating on its surface, commonly used in pallet stacking and transportation processes. Its function is to increase the friction between cardboard boxes, bagged goods, and other items to prevent sliding and tipping. In markets such as Europe, America, and Japan, these products have become standard accessories in logistics and packaging processes.
What are the common anti-slip measures for plastic pallets?
Non-slip mat. Usually placed between pallets and goods to provide friction and prevent the sliding displacement of the goods. Although anti-slip pads are convenient to use, the friction effect is still very limited for soft packaging that is lightweight or has a smooth surface.
Material anti-slip. Some trays have achieved enhanced friction through surface treatment or material modification, such as the design of textured surfaces and high-friction coefficient plastics. Although this type of method improves the stability of stacking to some extent, it cannot solve the sliding problem caused by smooth or uneven weights on the surface of flexible packaging bags.
Anti-slip paper. This is one of the most commonly used solutions in flexible packaging transportation, with good friction and compatibility, and can be used in conjunction with flexible packaging films of different materials. MTPAK provides customized anti-slip paper solutions, allowing for the selection of thickness and material based on stacking height, product weight, and transportation method.
So, what are the materials of the anti-slip tray paper?
Common anti-slip tray paper includes kraft paper, PE/PP, and Various materials such as special coated paper and recycled paper. Among them, kraft paper is the most common anti-slip tray paper, which has high friction, low cost, and is biodegradable, making it very suitable for light and medium-sized soft packaging goods.
The surface of PE anti-slip paper has fine anti-slip patterns, strong waterproof properties, can withstand low temperatures, and can be reused. It is generally used for bottled beverages, chemical products, and other goods. PP anti-slip paper can withstand high temperatures and has slightly lower friction than PE anti-slip paper. It is commonly used for anti-slip in baked goods, automotive parts, and other industries.
Special coated paper has the characteristics of moisture resistance, oil resistance, and tear resistance. The surface is generally covered with anti-slip film, and the inner layer is designed with non-woven fabric, achieving a high friction coefficient and strong load-bearing capacity. It is suitable for heavy goods or anti-slip in humid environments.
Anti-slip paper made from recycled paper materials has the characteristic of high strength, which can not only be used as product dividers, but also recycled and reused, helping to reduce the generation of packaging waste.
What kind of packaging is suitable for stacking goods with anti-slip pallet paper?
Paper boxes are the most common packaging in warehousing and logistics. When stacking, they are particularly prone to sliding and scratching trays or other cardboard boxes due to their smooth surface and hard edges. By using PE or kraft paper composite anti-slip paper to cover the surface of the plastic tray, the friction between the cardboard box and the anti-slip paper increases several times. Stacking 4-5 layers can still be stable. At the same time, the anti-slip paper can buffer the friction between the corners of the cardboard box and the tray, avoiding damage to the cardboard box.
The packaging of bagged goods such as flour and feed is mostly made of PE or PP bags, which have a smooth surface and are easily deformed. When stacked, they are prone to displacement and even cause seam breakage and material leakage due to friction between the packaging bag and the pallet. At this point, using anti-slip film composite paper, the rubber particles on its surface can firmly grasp the packaging bag, and even if the bagged goods are stacked in multiple layers, there will be no lateral displacement. At the same time, the cushioning effect of anti-slip paper can reduce the stress on the stitching of the packaging bag and avoid material leakage.
The most troublesome thing about bottled and barreled goods is that they are prone to rolling, especially when transported or stacked on plastic pallets. Once they roll, they may collide and break, and even pose a risk of leakage. Choose PE waterproof and anti-slip paper, whose anti-slip patterns on the surface can increase the friction between the bottle or bucket and the tray. At the same time, the waterproof material can cope with possible liquid leakage. If it is a circular bucket cargo, customized anti-slip paper with grooves can also be used to further fix the position of the bucket.
Conclusion
For enterprises, the core goal of buying plastic pallets is to safely and efficiently circulate goods, and pallet anti-slip paper is a low-cost tool to achieve this goal. It can not only reduce the damage rate of goods, but also improve the adaptability of plastic pallets, allowing the same batch of pallets to serve more types of goods and reduce duplicate procurement costs.
As a professional manufacturer of flexible packaging, MTPAK can customize exclusive pallet anti-slip paper solutions based on the size of the plastic pallets you purchase, the type of packaging (cardboard/bag/bottle), and the usage environment (room temperature/low temperature/humidity).
If you are planning to purchase plastic pallets or have encountered difficulties with goods sliding, you can provide specific scenario information, and we will recommend highly compatible anti-slip paper products for you, allowing plastic pallets to truly realize the value of cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
