Slip Sheets

Slip Sheets, otherwise known as linerboards or pallet liners, are placed on top of the pallet, underneath the product being stored or transported. Slip sheets help stabilize products on a pallet and helps prevent product damage from broken boards, splinters or protruding nails. Additionally, we offer waterproof sheets that provide added durability and are especially useful when working with wet pallets or wet floors as they help prevent moisture/water from damaging your product.

Bulk Bag Lifting Adapters

To ensure optimal handling of bulk bags and the safety of your workers, we recommend using a forklift or crane adapter. The use of a lifting adapter ensures that the bulk bag is lifted by its straps vertically, evenly distributing the force across the bag. This practice is essential for operational safety and greatly reduces the risk of a bag’s strength being compromised.

Our stock adapters are rated for 2,000Kg with a safety ratio of 10:1, and are suitable for bulk bag sizes ranging from 32”x32” to 38”x38”. Custom-made adapters for smaller or larger bulk bag sizes as well as for low overhead clearance are available.

Pallet Covers

Pallet Covers keep your products safe from dust, grease, water, and any other foreign contaminants.  They also protect your products from damage or contamination during transportation. When products need to be stored outdoors, our pallet covers provide much needed protection from the weather, moisture, rains, UV rays, and a variety of external contaminants. We stock a variety of polypropylene or polyethylene pallet covers, which many of our customers in the food, agriculture, chemical, and mining industries employ.

Industrial Liners

Our Industrial Liners are often used with our bulk bags for added product protection but can also be used to line various other packaging products such as drums or rigid containers. Our polyethylene liners provide a moisture barrier that will keep your wet products wet and your dry products dry. They are the best solution to prevent product leakage and contamination, while also shielding your products from water.

Sandbags

Our sturdy, UV-treated Sandbags can hold up to 30 kg and are a great solution for packaging sands and gravels to be used as flood barriers, temporary dams, erosion protectors, and road traction enhancers during winter.

Paper Poly Bags

Paper Poly Bags have the same look and feel of traditional paper bags but are reinforced with polypropylene fabric for added durability.

We have various bag styles available including flat tube, gusseted, and valve bags. Custom printing is available.

Polywoven Bags

Polywoven Bags are a low-cost form of packaging and are perfect for lower volume packaging of feeds, grains, fire logs and sands.

We have various bag styles available including flat tube, gusseted, and valve bags. Custom printing is available.
