Characteristics of Label Ties (Plastic)
READ MORE >
In the field of packaging, the real problem solvers are often those inconspicuous basic components. The widespread popularity of Poly Twist Ties is not only due to its physical properties, but also due to the precise response to real pain points in design. From food factory assembly lines to home kitchens, this seemingly simple product is improving the interaction efficiency between people and packaging through detailed design.
a. Efficiency innovation of bare-handed operation
Tool-free design: Workers can seal bread bags with a twist of their fingers without the help of scissors or pliers, avoiding delays in tool transfer on the production line;
Anti-slip texture treatment: The fine convex patterns on the surface increase friction, and food packers wearing latex gloves can also tighten quickly;
Balanced flexibility: The steel wire core ensures shaping ability, and the outer polyethylene material provides moderate elasticity, so that the elderly do not hurt their fingers when opening and closing fresh-keeping bags.
b. Adapt to complex usage scenarios
Grease resistance: The flour bag mouth covered with butter in the bakery is easy to slip with ordinary cable ties, but the polyester coating can still firmly bite;
Low temperature adaptability: After the frozen food packaging is taken out of the cold storage, the material will not become brittle and break;
Anti-entanglement design: When storing wires, unlike traditional iron wires that are easy to hook and break the wire skin, the smooth plastic layer protects the surface of the wire.
a. Physical protection level
Rounded end treatment: The plastic at both ends of the twisted wire completely wraps the steel wire to avoid scratches when children touch the packaging bag;
No chemical migration: Food-grade polyethylene materials have no harmful substances in long-term contact with bread, fruits and vegetables (in compliance with FDA standards).
b. Information communication optimization
Highly recognizable color matching: Orange twisted wire marks spicy foods, and blue marks frozen products, reducing the risk of accidental ingestion at home;
Writable surface: The warehouse manager uses an oily pen to directly mark the date on the wire body, which is more resistant to friction than labeling.
a. Ingenuity to extend the product life cycle
Anti-aging formula: When fixing outdoor gardening brackets, the anti-ultraviolet material will not powder within two years;
Easy to clean surface: After staining, it can be reused by washing and drying, which is more resistant to mildew than cloth tie-ties.
b. Recyclable-friendly structure
Material uniformity: Steel wire and polyethylene can be recycled through simple mechanical separation, avoiding the dilemma of difficult handling of composite materials;
Reduction design: By optimizing the diameter of the steel wire, the amount of single material is reduced by 20% (industry measured average) while ensuring the load-bearing capacity.
Barrier-free design: Launch wide twist straps (5mm), which can be easily operated by arthritis patients;
Instant identification upgrade: Some manufacturers are testing temperature-sensitive ink printing, and cold chain packages are warned of color change when exposed to high temperatures;
Cultural adaptation: Products exported to the Middle East are changed to dark green tones, which are in line with regional color preferences.
Practical suggestions for user selection
Food processing industry: choose white or transparent models to avoid dye contact with food;
Outdoor applications: frosted surface models prevent sunlight reflection interference;
Educational institutions: bright colors make it easier for children to identify and classify.
