Packaging supplies
Tape, stretch wrap, bubble wrap, kraft paper and packaging peanuts, mailers, foam, and wood pallets and crates, consolidated onto one purchase order so your dock never runs short.
Independent and family-run in Marysville, Michigan. Since 1980.
What we stock
Everything that goes around the box. Carton sealing tape, stretch wrap and machine film, shrink wrap, poly bags, bubble wrap, foam, kraft paper, packaging peanuts, mailers, and wood pallets.
We put the packaging supplies on the same purchase order as the boxes we already make for you. One supplier, one PO, one drop.
What we supply
The consumables a shipping department uses, held in stock so you are not waiting on them.
Carton sealing tape
Tape to close the box and keep it closed: standard carton sealing tape in the common widths, plus heavier grades for dense loads and long transit.
Stretch wrap and film
Hand film for low volume and machine film for anything running through a wrapper. Both hold a pallet together in transit.
Shrink wrap and film
Film that shrinks tight around the product with heat, giving a clean sealed pack for multipacks, retail bundles and anything that has to arrive untampered.
Poly bags
Poly bags across the everyday sizes and gauges, for parts, kitting, sub-packing and keeping product clean inside a bigger carton.
Bubble wrap, foam and peanuts
Cushioning and void fill: bubble wrap, foam sheet and profile, kraft paper and packaging peanuts. Fill the gap so the product cannot move.
Kraft paper
Kraft paper for wrapping, layer packing, void fill and surface protection, on rolls or sheets cut to size.
Mailers
Padded and plain mailers for anything too small or too flat to justify a box.
Wood pallets and crates
Pallets to ship on and crates for loads that need more than a carton.
Getting the spec right
Most supply problems on a dock are spec problems, not supplier problems.
Stretch wrap or shrink wrap?
The names get used interchangeably and they are completely different products. Ordering the wrong one is the single most common packaging supplies mistake we see.
| Property | Stretch wrap | Shrink wrap |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | Stretched under tension and wrapped, holding by elastic recovery. | Wrapped loose, then heated so the film shrinks tight to the product. |
| Equipment | Hands, or a stretch wrapping machine. | A heat gun, heat tunnel or shrink chamber. |
| Used for | Unitizing a pallet load so it travels as one block. | Sealing individual products, multipacks and retail bundles. |
| Looks like | Clingy, slightly stretchy film, usually clear or colored on a roll. | Stiffer film until heat is applied, then skin-tight on the product. |

Packaging supplies: common questions
Stretch wrap is stretched under tension as it is wrapped, and it holds by trying to snap back. It is what unitizes a pallet load so it travels as one block. Shrink wrap is applied loose and then heated, so the film shrinks tight around the product, which is how multipacks and retail bundles get sealed.
They are not substitutes. If you are wrapping pallets you want stretch film. If you are sealing individual products you want shrink film, and a heat source to go with it.
Hand film comes on shorter, lighter rolls sized to be carried around a pallet, and it is the right answer at low volume. Machine film runs on a stretch wrapper, comes on longer and heavier rolls, and is engineered for a much higher stretch than an operator can apply by hand.
Gauge is film thickness, and the honest answer is that it depends on the load: weight, whether it has sharp corners, how far it travels and how it is handled. A heavy, awkward pallet needs more film than a light, square one.
The practical route is to tell us what you are wrapping and where your product is heading to. Over-specifying gauge is a common and expensive habit.
We encourage it. Supplies go on the same purchase order as the corrugated and chipboard we make for you, so it is one supplier, one PO, and one drop.
Yes. We are able to create a schedule so that the same items arrive on the same cadence, directly to your facility.
Yes. Both are designed around your specific requirements. For loads that outgrow a carton but do not justify a crate, ask about triple-wall corrugated containers, which often do the same job for less.
