Overview of BREAKAWAY’s Palletizing Adhesive for Sustainable Pallet Load Stabilization
The BREAKAWAY Adhesive-Based Pallet Stabilization System is a complete solution designed to secure palletized loads while delivering significant cost savings by reducing excess stretch wrap (shrink wrap), corner boards, dunnage, and other packaging materials. This system combines a proprietary water-based adhesive with low-maintenance application equipment to prevent shifting, crushing, and in-transit damage across all types of end-of-line (EOL) packaging. Engineered for both high-heat and flash-freezer environments, BREAKAWAY provides clean release, maintains packaging graphics, and supports sustainability initiatives by reducing plastic waste and improving load stability.
How BREAKAWAY Palletizing Glue Works
BREAKAWAY is applied through simple, low-maintenance equipment positioned between the end-of-line packaging and palletizer. As cases or bags pass through, a precise micro-application of adhesive is sprayed or extruded onto the surface, creating a clean, temporary bond that stabilizes layers during stacking and transit without leaving residue or damaging graphics.
BREAKAWAY is engineered to perform across a wide range of packaging materials. It reliably bonds to:
- Corrugated boxes (kraft, coated, preprinted, UV coated, OPV coated)
- Paperboard cartons (including delicate substrates and high-graphic finishes)
- Plastic packaging and shrink film
- Poly bags and PE bags
- Shrink films and multi-wall bags
Why Choose the BREAKAWAY System for Pallet Load Securement
-
Secure Pallet Load Stability: Water-based cold glue creates a controlled, reliable bond between layers to prevent shifting, crushing, and in-transit pallet load failures.
-
Residue-Free Release: Leaves no marks, residue, or scuffing on packaging graphics, preserving appearance at the final destination.
-
Broad Packaging Compatibility: Effective on corrugated boxes, coated and uncoated cartons, plastic packaging, poly or PE bags.
-
Performs in All Conditions: Maintains pallet load stability from high-heat warehouse environments to flash-freezer and cold chain storage.
-
Low-Maintenance Operation: Simple, durable cold glue equipment integrates easily with existing end-of-line setups.
-
Non-Toxic and FDA Compliant: Water-based formulation eliminates burn risks and meets FDA standards for use in packaged food environments.
-
Fast ROI: 6 - 9 months on average. Reduces stretch wrap, tier sheets, corner boards, and rejected pallet loads—driving quick material and labor savings.
-
Supports Sustainability Goals: Cuts plastic waste and reduces overall packaging materials for more environmentally friendly operations.
