When people are looking for construction and packaging supplies in Ontario, the adhesive tape isn't always the first thing they think of.  However, the tape is a critical component in just about any packaging, and there are definitely pros and cons to the various types of adhesive tape on the market.  Choosing the right tape for the right job will almost always make that job go more smoothly.

So, we wanted to quickly look at some common types of adhesive tape you can find when buying and what situations they're best suited for.

Picking the Right Tape for the Right Job

1. Paper Tape 

For basic packaging needs, paper tape is one of the traditional go-tos.  It's inexpensive and easy to work with, while still being quite strong.  Different strengths are available, some reinforced with fibers that give the tape even more heft.  This is one of the most common types of tape you'll find in packaging for a reason.

2. Vinyl Tape

Tape made of vinyl is generally used in electrical work, such as this 3M electrical tape.  Vinyl tape is generally not well-suited for shipping purposes or for holding things together for long.  Its glue is too weak to hold up to too much strain and is best suited for wrapping around itself.  Basically, the main thing vinyl tape is good for is as a non-conductive wrap for wiring - and it's great at that.

3. Plastic Tape

Plastic tapes include Scotch Tape, and it's fantastic as a general-purpose tape for holding papers together or repairing small rips. The lack of strength can be something of a benefit since it's often possible to remove plastic tapes from sensitive objects without damaging them. However, it's a poor fit for most other applications, including packaging or any situation where long-term durability is needed.

4. Duct Tape

Duct tape comes in many flavors, including 3M Heavy Duty varieties, and is well-loved by hobbyists and MacGyver’s. The benefit of duct tape is its versatility.  While it’s primary usage is for containment - actually repairing ducts - it is both strong and sticky enough to be used in a huge variety of applications.

Enacting inventory management strategies can help your organization consolidate its expenditure and drive profitability by allocating a greater number of resources to the business’s most important products. In order to achieve the ideal strategy for their organization, business leaders across Ontario now require access to the latest inventory management systems. Within this latest post, our Hansler Smith Limited team explore more on the benefits of using our Ontario inventory management systems and solutions.

1. Gain Control Over Dispensing

One of the most important challenges of maintaining inventory management is gaining control over dispensing items. It is critical your team knows where your inventory is being moved to and to whom the inventory is being sent. Using the latest management system, this data is at your fingertips to help further hone the management process.

2. Real-Time Tracking

The system can provide your team with real-time tracking for its inventory products. This ensures that any short-term issues can be analyzed and resolved quickly. For example, if a department requires a particular product on short notice, the team can track the product’s transit and plan more effectively for the product’s use.

3. Maintenance Guidance

For equipment going through the maintenance process, companies must be able to determine the product’s maintenance history, its maintenance cost, and its return date. Maintaining a complete inventory management system ensures this information is available to the user to make proactive choices on equipment use. For example, they may determine that a product continually under maintenance must be swapped out for a more reliable model.

4. Minimize Use of High-End Products

The products that are continually costing the company money and forcing the organization over its budget for the year should be analyzed carefully to ensure they’re providing full value for money. The ideal inventory management solution can help Ontario companies safeguard their spending and ensure they allocate resources to products that offer a clear ROI.

5. Reduce Out of Stock Situations

When a high value product is out of stock, it can impact your organization in numerous ways. It can limit productivity during that timeframe and may lead to customers choosing competitor options. Turning to inventory management solutions helps limit this type of out of stock situations.
