 <\/p>\n\"Case_Erectors_Reduce_Damage\"Making square cases is not just something you do for people with OCD or people who hate to see pallet loads or boxes not stacked at perfect right angles. Non-square cases can actually contribute to shipping damage, which cuts into profits and leads to unhappy customers.<\/p>\n

\n

A square case is one that has corners with 90 degree angles. This means its sides are vertical and its top and bottom are horizontal.<\/p>\n

Here are four reasons why square cases are important:<\/p>\n

1. Square cases support more weight<\/strong><\/p>\n

When the sides of stacked cases aren\u2019t aligned they lose 30 percent of their stacking strength. In an era that\u2019s focusing on reducing primary and secondary packaging materials, a 30 percent loss of stacking strength is a recipe for disaster.<\/p>\n

2. Square cases stack better<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vertical sides and horizontal tops and bottoms make it easy to stack cases in tight, compact pallet loads that have plumb sides. Pallets like these are easier to stretch wrap and less prone to damage as they make their way through the supply chain.<\/p>\n

3. Square cases pack better<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s just easier to put things in a square box, particularly if automatic case packing<\/a> equipment is being used. Also, a good fit of its contents enhances the protective capabilities of the case.<\/p>\n

4. Square cases prevent downstream jams<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recovering from machine jams is time consuming, expensive and just plain irritating. The machines processing the erected cases \u2013 case packers and case sealers\u00a0\u2013\u00a0work best when they\u2019re fed by uniform, square cases.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to consistently make square cases by hand. And all case erecting machines are not equally proficient at making square cases. The best case erectors, however, precisely control the case as it moves through the erecting process and ensure that every case erected is a square one.<\/p>\n
