What We Deliver When You Partner With Us

3/31/2022

 
Many times when we receive phone calls or email requests from potential customers they are looking for guidance in determining what is actually needed to best secure their cargo during transport. Either they have experienced significant product damage, had poor customer service from their current provider, or looking for trusted expertise and advise. This is where we excel! 

We take the time to truly listen to all aspects pertaining to the transport of their goods. We take notes, spend time evaluating modes of transport and application, request pictures of their current transport system, and when able - we will do a site visit. Most customers have never experienced this type of customer service and are absolutely thrilled that we care just as much about delivering their goods and cargo damage free as they do!

These are real life examples of drawings and loading patterns we documented for a food industry partner. When they first reached out to us, they were experiencing considerable shifting during transport and were losing money as a result of damaged product. We carefully listened, evaluated what they had been doing, and ultimately created a solution that was not only less expensive than their current system, but the solution resulted in damage free transport! Our customer was obviously very happy with the results as they were able to save money on two fronts. Plus, they had actual documentation to share with their warehouse managers to maintain consistency when loading and placing corrugated dunnage and dunnage bags. 
Bottom line, when you work with us you receive not only high quality dunnage products and load securement components, but you also receive top notch customer service. We are not just order takers, we are producers of dunnage materials, and we are also customers of the companies we partner and work with, which makes us have a vested interest in protecting your cargo.

New Year, New Products, New Innovations

1/10/2022

 
At Superior Packaging and International Dunnage U.S. we are continuously working to bring new innovations to light and expand our load securement line. Today, we are excited to officially announce our new 2022 products and innovations! 
Picture
Our Honeycomb-Airbag Pre-made Combo is a new innovation to help streamline loading and decrease overall damage that can result when airbags are not properly placed in combination with honeycomb filler pads. This new innovation will improve safety, efficiency, price, and overall securement.

Picture
Introducing anti-slip paper! This will be sure to significantly reduce damage to palletized goods, especially when it comes to moving products and cargo that have limited stacking heights as a result of 'slippery surfaces'. Economical, reusable, recyclable and an item that ultimately reduces waste stream dunnage and costs. 

Picture
The last new product but definitely not the least is dessicants. Moisture damage is a huge problem that causes millions of dollars of damage. We now have an affordable solution that will help control moisture and humidity levels in containers during transport. 

More details to come on these exciting new products and innovations. If you are interested in learning more, please contact us today!

Happy Holidays from your Load Securement Experts!

12/17/2021

 
'Twas the week before Christmas and in the North Pole,
Santa was prepping his sleigh with presents not coal.

While loading his sleigh, he saw lots of voids,
And wondered how to protect these precious toys.

Some voids were big, while others were small.
All Santa knew was these gifts couldn't fall.
Picture
Some voids needed corrugated dunnage that's true,
While others required dunnage air bags through and through.

So what he did in a hurry, or his name's not St. Nick
He called up Tom Franta mighty, mighty quick!

Honeycomb, strapping, dunnage bags, and more, 
Superior Packaging is definitely your store. 

From Tom he was able to get a custom solution
To ensure all voids were filled without any pollution.

Whether by truck or container or by rail
Tom has the expertise to prevail.

If complete load securement is what you are seeking
Have no fear and stop your shrieking

If you need to protect your cargo today
Please call International Dunnage SPC for the best way!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!

Honoring our Veterans

11/11/2021

 
Today is the day we honor and remember our veterans who served in the United States Armed Forces, and take time to thank them for their service and their sacrifices to our country. This federal holiday coincides with Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which marks World War I. These observances reflect the end of significant hostilities at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 when the Armistice with Germany took effect. Initially, the United States observed Armistice Day as well. However, it evolved into the current Veterans Day in 1954.
Picture
Veterans Day celebrates all United States military veterans, those currently serving, those that have served, and those that served and have died. We sincerely hope that Americans will be able to find peace and take the time to reflect on the sacrifices over the centuries that have made the United States the world leader that it is. Thank you from all of us at Superior Packaging and International Dunnage U.S. We salute all veterans and the impact they had and have on our lives today. ​

Overcoming Supply Chain Hurdles

10/21/2021

 
​One of the biggest hurdles many businesses seem to be facing right now are supply chain gaps. Whether you are a manufacturer, a retailer, a restaurant, or a cog in the wheel, you have been impacted by supply chain shortages. And just to add fuel to the fire,  retailers and manufacturers are overordering because of these supply chain issues, and that’s just leading to essentially an even worse scenario,” Jonathan Savoir, CEO of supply chain technology firm Quincus told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia” on Monday. Supply chains throughout the country and the world have been hit by massive disruptions and with many economies reopening, the end to this disruption is no where in sight. So what can you do to help manage increased freight costs? How do you plan to transport your cargo and products when it is available? We have some suggestions that will hopefully ease these two particular concerns. 
Picture
Freight costs have been continuing to increase across the board, but when working with us, we function as a single source provider for all your transport securement needs. We are able to provide 60% more dunnage bags per box, ship other necessary damage prevention products, including strapping, anti-slip mats, corrugated dunnage, and corner boards. The need to better protect your even more precious cargo during transport has exponentially increased as shortages are becoming increasingly evident across so many industries. Companies simply cannot afford the risk of damaging existing supply. This is our forte! 

It is our goal when working with our partners and customers to create an effective plan to help ensure and alleviate their load securement needs and prevent further supply chain disruptions. We do this by carefully evaluating all their load securement needs, recommending proper solutions to safely transport their products and developing an auto-ordering program that helps to eliminate delays.

Have a Safe and Happy Labor Day!

9/6/2021

 
Labor Day is celebrated on first Monday of every September, and recognizes the men and women who labor to build and continue to build this country. Through a time-honored tradition with roots in the coordinated efforts of the labor movement of the 1800s, we salute the American workforce today from all of us at Superior Packaging and International Dunnage U.S. S.P.C.
Picture
Since the founding of the United States, this country has relied on its workforce for its infrastructure. From its streets and buildings to its transportation and security, the nation runs on labor. The labor of what we create, build and harvest fuels our education and inspires our dreams. We recognize the importance of our labor force more and more every day! We want to give special acknowledgement to all our employees, partners, and customers. Thank you for your hard work and playing your role in our nation's and our world's supply chain bringing goods to everyone.

Your Best SINGLE SOURCE SUPPLIER FOR ALL YOUR LOAD SECUREMENT PRODUCTS

7/26/2021

 
As so many companies around the country have been experiencing increases in freight and shipping costs, we have been searching for ways to help ease the burden of these price increases. One way that Superior Packaging can reduce your shipping costs is leveraging our single source supply capabilities. From dunnage bags (dunnage air bags) to anti-slip rubber matting to all forms of corrugated dunnage to corner posts and angle board, we can consolidate your load securement products and save you money! 

Utilizing a single source can help in so many different ways. Plus, we have your load securement products in stock! When you weigh the positive attributes of a single source supplier, they quickly outweigh any potential disadvantages. We specifically work to partner with our customers building trust and a true relationship that benefits the customer. 

Benefits of Single Sourcing
  • Lower pricing due to consolidation of all requirements with one supplier.
  • More consistent quality.
  • Lower purchasing workload due to communication with fewer suppliers.
  • Easier to manage supplier performance because you are tracking fewer suppliers.
Disadvantages of multiple supplier strategy
Multiple supply sourcing may complicate supplier relationships and require greater resources to manage them. As supplier numbers grow, the price tag often goes up and the following drawbacks can occur:
  • Information sharing may become more complex
  • Higher costs for contract negotiation, management, and process execution
  • Lower order volumes reduce bargaining power
  • The ability to save through economies of scale is reduced
  • Challenges can come up in terms of quality control and efficacy
Give us a try today! You have nothing to lose and everything to gain, including savings, a committed partner in business, and the best load securement products on the market.

Happy Independence Day!

7/4/2021

Reduce Your Transportation and warehouse Costs

6/29/2021

 
If you are looking for ways to offset increased prices in transporting your cargo, we have you covered! We now utilize vacuum packed bags to help our partners and customers save money as the cost of transporting goods continues to increase globally. Innovation is a cornerstone of our company's beliefs and we continue to lead the industry with another first, Vacuum Packed Dunnage Bags!
This image shows the increase in pallet quantity. Both pallets actually contain the same amount of dunnage airbags. The pallet on the left shows conventional packaging methods, while the pallet on the right demonstrates the vacuum packed method. 
Picture
What does this mean exactly for our customers and partners? Simply put, we can now provide you with the highest pallet count in the market, which reduces your overall freight cost. How do you benefit as our customer and partner? Ultimately, your freight per bag costs drop and by vacuum packing our bags we reduce: 
  • Required Warehouse Space
  • Freight Cost to Ship Full Truckloads of Product
  • Damage Caused by Dust and Humidity
  • Ocean Freight Cost
This new innovation also allows us to stabilize our freight costs which takes the pressure off of future price increases. A true win-win for our customers and partners.

Remembering Memorial Day

5/31/2021

 
Each year in the United States, Americans observe the Federal holiday, Memorial Day, the last Monday in May. It honors and remembers all men and women who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Memorial Day is also a day to remember all loved ones who have passed away.
Traditionally on Memorial Day, the flag of the United States of America is raised briskly to the top of the staff then solemnly lowered to the half-staff position where it remains until noon. At noon, it is then raised to full-staff for the remainder of the day.
When the flag is at half-staff, the position is in remembrance of the more than one million men and women who gave their lives for their country. Raising the flag at noon signifies the nation lives, that the country is resolved not to let their sacrifice be in vain but to rise up in their honor and continue to fight for liberty and justice for all.
Picture
If you are looking for ideas on how to observe Memorial Day consider attending a Memorial Day service in your community. Pay tribute in your own way in remembrance of service members who have died while serving. Or, visit a veterans’ cemetery to honor those who’ve impacted your life.

From all of us at International Dunnage and Superior Packaging, we remember and honor our veterans and loved ones who have passed away. 

We Now Supply Anti-Slip Rubber Mats

5/26/2021

 
Anti-slip mats are an important and reliable component for your professional load securing system.  If you’re looking for a product that will secure and control movement of your shipments by railroad, over-the-road truck or container, we've got you covered!  Non-slip rubber friction mats have become standard equipment in the professional transportation field and for good reason. When using non-slip mats, the friction force of the goods is in direct contact with the rubber mat.  This significantly increases the coefficient of friction, ultimately preventing the load from slipping. 
Picture

Dunnage Bag Hanger Tool in Action

4/29/2021

 
At International Dunnage U.S. and Superior Packaging, we are consistently looking to develop easy to use and affordable solutions to improve safety and efficiency for our customers' warehouses, loading docks, and trucks. Pictured below is our latest set of new tools designed to save you money, protect your cargo and improve overall efficiency whether loading a truck, railcar, or sea container. 
Truck loaded with stacked pallets using dunnage bag hanger tool, dunnage bag, corrugated dunnage tool, and the essential bag dunnage bag inflator kit.
Featured new tools include: Dunnage Bag Hanger and Hanger Tool, Corrugated Void Filler Hanger Tool and Void Filler, and our Essential Dunnage Bag Inflator Kit - Warehouse/Dock V2. All developed with you, our partners and customers, in mind. The Dunnage Bag Hanger is a custom cut cardboard application that slips onto the flap or your dunnage bag and is ideal for double stacked loads. When used in combination with the dunnage bag hanger tool, it allows an employee or driver to easily place a dunnage bag without putting the employee at risk while attempting to stabilize cargo. Once the bag is placed, an employee or driver can reach into the essential dunnage bag inflator kit and use their portable air tool and easily inflate the dunnage bag. When filled to the proper PSI, air tool and chuck are placed back in the bag. Simple, safe, cost effective, and efficient. 

The corrugated void filler tool works very similarly. In this example, the void filler is used to stabilize the bottom cargo load. For instances where a corrugated void filler is used in a stacked load, the corrugated hanger tool can be used to safely and easily place the void filler without risk to the employee or driver. Another cost effective and efficient tool used to improve transport of your cargo. 

We value the relationships we have created with all of our customers and partners. When we identify an opportunity to improve the application and use of our void fillers and dunnage bags, we jump on it and work to design the best solution. If you encounter a situation where your cargo is not properly secured by your current provider, please contact us and request a quote. We welcome all opportunities to ensure cargo is safely transported throughout the world.

We Take Customer Service Seriously!

3/3/2021

 
How many times have you heard, 'We have fantastic customer service. Work with us and you'll get that extra personal touch and receive a high level of communication, support, and service.' At Superior Packaging and International Dunnage U.S. we mean it! We don't just provide lip service, which is defined as an avowal of advocacy, adherence, or allegiance expressed in words but not backed by deeds. We absolutely deliver on customer service. We do what we say and say what we do. We truly value the relationship and build trust with all our customers and partners. When we say we can find the solution to protect any cargo load situation, we mean it and stand behind our word. 
Personally Delivering Dunnage Bags
Getting ready to deliver dunnage bags to customer.
Delivered Dunnage Bags on site.
On location doing a personal delivery of dunnage bags.
Case in point, we received a call from a potential customer who was panicked and in desperate need of dunnage bags. For many of our customers and partners, we know and understand that if they are unable to transport their products securely without shifting during transport, the cargo doesn't ship. And that means potential loss of revenue, their own customers become angry, potential delays in payments, and the negative domino effect continues. 
So standing behind our word, we personally delivered a shipment of dunnage bags using a personal vehicle on top of that. This is just one example out of many of the type and quality of customer service we provide to all current and potential customers and partners. If you are not receiving this type of support and service from your current dunnage bag supplier, corrugated dunnage supplier, or load securement provider, please reach out to us. You will definitely see an immediate difference and it will be the best decision you could make to ensure your cargo reaches its destination on time and damage free.  You will not be disappointed. In fact, you will be pleasantly surprised!
