Keep reading to learn more about film cores and how they'll enhance this process. 

Understand how film cores can be foundational in your industrial and manufacturing storage

So what makes film cores such a must-have? This foundational packaging supply makes all your products and inventory stackable. Film cores prevent damage and wear to items that you're storing both short-term and long-term. 

Industrial companies collectively experience close to $3 billion in damage each year. The film cores provide effective radial strength, which allows for safer storage. Investing in some film cores will improve every part of your industrial and manufacturing storage.

Purchase the highest quality film cores and stock up

Start by figuring out the sizes and styles you need when shopping for film cores. Some film core styles include drum cut, saw cut, and blade cut. Speak to a film core manufacturer to determine whether you want to purchase their pre-made cores or if you want customized cores. Try working with a manufacturer that uses nothing but quality products, and insist to see some references. From here, you'll feel more at ease placing an order for however many cores you need. Purchase these film cores in bulk both to get the best pricing and to always make sure you have enough on hand for your warehouse. 

Arrange for the best storage setup in your industrial company

Use these film cores as the starting point to optimize your storage setup. Add thermal labels with your film core to make sure they're supported properly. Thermal labels are also heat resistant, so the barcode and words will remain clear. Film cores will also protect the products inside from heat damage. Install dehumidifiers in your warehouse to further control the heat. Keep your warehouse ventilated to make these supplies more effective. 

Pallet racks will optimize the way you sort and stack your film cores. Each pallet might cost you between approximately $100 and $300 in most circumstances. 

Consider these strategies so that you can buy the right film cores and use them properly or talk to a local manufacturer like Crescent Paper Tube Company to learn more about what will work for your business.
