Why Quality Reusable Packaging Matters

10/28/2021

If you’ve spent any amount of time managing your operation’s packaging materials, you know that quality matters. Low quality packaging materials, especially reusable packaging, can be a costly, long-term expense that eliminates many – if not all – of the benefits of using reusable packaging. In addition to this, you’ve likely dealt with customer service runarounds, replacement issues, and shipping delays. At Carter Associates, we pride ourselves on providing the industry’s best customer service and – more importantly – the market’s highest quality packaging materials.

Corrugated Plastic Sleeves

Optimize Your Shipping With Durable Corrugated Plastic Sleeves

3/5/2021

If you’re looking to expedite your operation’s internal shipping routines, corrugated plastic sleeves are a time-tested, proven solution. Lasting much longer than cardboard, they can be used — and reused — in conditions and environments that cardboard isn’t capable of standing up to. This durability ensures that you save money, as you won’t need to continually replace them, break them down, and task employees with the job of disposing of them. Best of all, they afford your products even more protection than standard, cardboard shipping containers, ensuring that they get from A to B in a safe, secure, and efficient manner.
