Skid-Resistant Paper
Secure pallet layers to prevent shifting and sliding during transit
Reduce product damage, breakage, and costly customer returns
Minimize the need for excessive stretch wrap and plastic strapping
Skid Resistant Paper Can Help Reduce Your...
Product Damage
Anti-skid sheets prevent cartons and bags from sliding during transit. By locking product layers in place, you reduce the risk of crushed goods, breakage, and unsellable inventory arriving at your customer's receiving dock.
Packaging Material Costs
Utilizing high friction paper between layers reduces your reliance on secondary packaging materials. You can lower your spending on plastic stretch wrap, corner boards, and strapping while maintaining total load security.
In-Transit Shifting
Maintain the structural integrity of your pallets from the warehouse to the final destination. The specialized coating grips the packaging above and below it, keeping columns straight even during sudden stops or sharp turns.
Workplace Accidents
Unstable pallets pose a significant safety risk in warehouse environments. Anti-skid paper keeps heavy boxes and slippery bags firmly in place, lowering the chance of products falling on employees during forklift transport or manual unloading.
Wasted Storage Space
When pallet layers are completely secure, you can confidently stack products higher in your facility. This allows you to better utilize your vertical warehouse space without the risk of leaning or collapsing stacks.
Rejected Shipments
Shipments that shift in transit are frequently rejected by distribution centers. Keeping your unitized loads perfectly aligned ensures your products are accepted upon delivery, eliminating the administrative costs and freight fees associated with returns.
Plastic Waste
Skid-resistant sheets are a sustainable addition to your packaging process. Manufactured from recyclable paper, they help companies reduce their plastic footprint by decreasing the volume of stretch film required to secure a unitized load.
Production Bottlenecks
Integrating skid-resistant paper into your existing workflow is straightforward. The sheets can be easily placed manually by warehouse staff or handled by automated palletizing equipment to keep your packaging lines moving efficiently.
What are anti-skid sheets?
Q: Is skid-resistant paper the same as standard cardboard tier sheets? A: No. Skid-resistant paper features a specialized high-friction coating on one or both sides. This coating actively grips your product packaging, providing greater load stability and slip resistance than standard Kraft paper or corrugated cardboard.
Q: Do I need special equipment to apply skid-resistant paper? A: No special equipment is required. The sheets can be easily placed by hand as your team builds a pallet, and they are also fully compatible with automated robotic palletizing equipment.
Q: Why should I use skid-resistant paper in my packaging process? A: It stabilizes unitized loads and prevents products from shifting during transit. Integrating these sheets reduces product damage, lowers your reliance on secondary packaging materials like stretch wrap, and improves warehouse safety by preventing leaning or collapsing pallets.
Integrating skid-resistant paper into your packaging process is a practical way to secure palletized goods and reduce in-transit product damage. By creating a high-friction layer between your products, these sheets lock cartons and bags firmly in place, preventing the kind of load shifting that causes workplace accidents and rejected shipments. Because they require no special equipment to apply, your team can seamlessly add them to your manual or automated palletizing workflow to reduce your reliance on plastic stretch wrap.
