Creative and Versatile Pallet Banding Uses Across Sectors
While it might not seem immediately obvious, pallet banding can be useful for more than securing boxes of products during transport. VELCRO® brand straps, ties and tape can be used creatively around both homes and businesses, thanks to their particular advantages. In this article from MPD Hook & Loop, you find tips and tricks for ways to utilise versatile VELCRO® pallet banding.
VELCRO® Brand LogiStraps®
Known for its advantage over traditional transport solutions, LogiStrap® is a pallet banding solution from VELCRO®. These straps, all with 1059N resistance, are available in a range of colours and sizes, giving users the options needed to get the job done properly.
Transporting Fridges
Fridges are known for being unwieldy appliances. Heavy and wide, they can be difficult to transport safely. Transporting heavy fridges in the same vehicle can be dangerous without the right support, which is exactly where LogiStraps® are useful.
For refrigeration companies, several appliances often need to be delivered at the same time. With the use of LogiStraps®, the bright range of colours can be used to differentiate which refrigeration systems. The straps mean the intended destination of each fridge is recognisable at a glance, all while protecting the appliances themselves.
Shipping Antique Furniture
With the rise of flatpack furniture, large items in our homes are relatively easy to dismantle, transport and assemble. When it comes to older furniture, however, that choice is not often available. To protect the integrity of the item, these largely need to be shipped in their entirety.
For businesses that specialise in antique furniture sales, LogiStraps® can be a brilliant solution. These bands hold the furniture in place securely during transportation, protecting it from damage, which in turn ensures the value of the piece is retained.
VELCRO® Brand ONE-WRAP® Cable Ties
Designed to cut out clutter, ONE-WRAP® cable ties are great for securing items together. Similar to LogiStraps®, these ties are available in a range of colours, making them perfect for a variety of needs. As for sizes, there are pre-cut options available, as well as others that can be cut to size from roll.
Gardening
When thinking of cable ties, you might not immediately think of using them to garden. However, there are numerous uses for ONE-WRAP® ties outdoors, brilliant for optimising green space. They are brilliant, for example, for bonding climbing plants around pergolas and keeping orchids upright with supports. Look out for the VELCRO® brand garden range for weatherproof and repositionable ties in particular.
Gardening is a hobby for some, but a profession for others. Luckily, ONE-WRAP® cable ties can be used on a larger scale, on farms and within garden centres. From organising large amounts of twine to making sure tools are accessible, VELCRO® cable ties are great for keeping personal and commercial gardens in order.
Tidying Cables
We all know the feeling of frustration at loose cables, ruining the aesthetic of a room. Left untouched, they can also become a hazard, easy to trip over. Similarly, they can be a danger to pets and small children, meaning they need to be kept out of reach. Luckily, that’s where ONE-WRAP® cable ties come in handy.
Businesses like IT companies in particular may benefit from a specific ONE-WRAP® product, known as cable wrap. This product easily sticks to surfaces, providing a neat way for cables to reach computers and monitors while staying out of sight.
Organising Utensils
Wondering where the scissors have gotten to again? Utensils can be both a hindrance and a help, designed to make our lives easier yet easily getting lost in our kitchens. By utilising ONE-WRAP® cable ties, your measuring spoons and other items can be easily secured together and therefore easily found.
Food safety is key when it comes to any food service business, which includes more than just cleaning hands and surfaces. Some utensils should only be used for certain purposes, easily clarified by a colour code. Using coloured ONE-WRAP® cable ties, food safety can be adhered to while providing an easy way to organise items.
VELCRO® Brand ONE-WRAP® Tape
Known for its classic design and infinite versatility, VELCRO® brand ONE-WRAP® tape can be used for more than simple pallet banding. Available in cut-to-size lengths, this reusable fastener is a strong and secure way to unite surfaces and items alike.
Holding furniture in place
Rugs are an easy yet effective way to decorate a space, however, they can slide around inconveniently across hard flooring. To prevent slipping, it’s worth opting for VELCRO® brand ONE-WRAP® tape, which can easily stop movements.
For estate agents, home presentation is essential to guaranteeing a sale. This is particularly true of showhomes, designed to be perfect and appealing to buyers. By securing sliding soft furnishings with VELCRO® brand ONE-WRAP® tape, there is no permanent damage to either the floor or the rug.
Hanging Pictures
A widespread issue for renters is home decoration. Due to contracts with landlords, there are only so many options available for renters to decorate their temporary homes while ensuring their deposit is returned. An efficient solution is VELCRO® brand ONE-WRAP® tape, providing a damage-free option for decorating walls with personal touches.
Thanks to its numerous benefits, interior designs and window dressers alike also utilise VELCRO® brand ONE-WRAP® tape. The tape can be easily moved and replaced, giving designers full flexibility and control when it comes to finding the perfect spot for furniture and frames.
