It’s the little things that undermine productivity. For example, it’s common in our industry for 5% of die-cut tapes and custom rolls to arrive damaged in transit.  

That’s a problem because you can’t put it directly into production where it belongs. Instead, you’re diverting resources to remove pieces and rolls that have crimped edges and missing liners that are now stuck to other pieces. 

It’s a small thing. But that defeats the purpose of using industrial adhesive tapes to boost production efficiency. 

The root cause is poor planning in packaging.  

How does packaging contribute to damage in die-cut tapes and rolls? 

When your custom converted foams and tapes get damaged in transit, the culprit is faulty packaging. When they’re packed loose or boxed, they don’t have adequate protection.  

Contents will shift in transit and during handling. That can cause tape edges to become crushed or crimped. Or, more common, the friction from products moving around causes liners to loosen. 

Losing even 5% of your order costs time and money.  

• Labor-intensive task of sorting damaged pieces 
• Delaying the start of production assembly
• Administrative burden to request rework 

Reduce order losses with our custom packaging solutions 

At Evans Evco, we think you deserve better. A 5% product loss is not a good value for our customers. We believe every piece and roll should arrive at your facility intact and ready for production. 

That’s where our packaging expertise comes in. 

Custom packaging is one of our core competencies. Since 1930, we’ve provided comprehensive packaging supplies and solutions for businesses and industries. That specialty is a value-add for our custom converting customers. 

In short, we’re experts in custom tape and custom packaging. That means we’re also experts in packaging industrial tape orders to protect against damage and minimize product loss. 

Whether it’s die-cut pieces, rolls, adhesive-backed gaskets, we aim for 0% product loss during shipping. We do this by selecting the best and most cost-effective options in our inventory to protect your order. 

For example, we use custom box packaging to stack and partition smaller die-cut pieces of pressure sensitive adhesive. So during transit, those tape pieces stay in place — no shifting, no impact, no friction.
