In previous posts, we have provided numerous reasons why paper tape is “greener” than plastic tape, and these include the fact that it is biodegradable and repulpable. From a performance perspective, it also adheres better to corrugated creating a stronger box, better protecting the contents from damage, tampering or pilferage. Please see the list of [...]

The Globe Guard® mailer envelope line is now complete with the addition of our new unpadded poly mailers. We can now offer paper mailers in both padded and unpadded construction, as well as plastic mailers in padded and unpadded versions. To make this news even better, our brand new product is available at 20% off [...]

There are a number of industries that routinely ship out products such as cell phones, tablets, laptops and a variety of other electronic devices. This is often times done for replacement or loaner purposes when products are being exchanged or returned. Whatever the reason for the back and forth or “round trip” shipment, the end [...]

January may be known for “white sales” offering the year’s best prices on soft goods such as bedding, sheets and towels. But in January at Salazar Packaging, we like to offer the best pricing you are likely to see in 2012 by offering our customers a “green sale” with a 20% discount on ALL of [...]

The term “so good it melts in your mouth” is over-hyped and so over used it has nearly lost all meaning.

They also understand the importance and value of being “eco consistent,” from the products they sell to [...]

At the risk of sounding like a car dealer, we really did make a mistake and over order this model. The overstock item is a 24” table top paper dispenser, and frankly, when we considered the shipping and restocking cost of sending them back to the manufacturer, we decided to use them to reward some [...]

I’ll put it bluntly but politely – most secondary packaging (boxes, tape, etc.) we receive from overseas is not very good. People have shared countless stories with us about boxes that smell funny, are weak, thinner than expected, don’t stack well, don’t hold up in shipment, etc. And it matters little whether the packaging originates [...]

Programs that send new or promotional product samples to the home have been around for a while, but in most cases they are directed and financed by manufacturers eager to get their products into consumers’ hands. The Conscious Box is different in that manufacturers cannot “buy” their way into your home. The products are carefully [...]

I have visited some of the cleanest, neatest, pick-and-pack fulfillment warehouses in the country, yet I have never seen one that does not create and accumulate dust.
