Pallet collar is an extremely useful product in storage and transportation business because it enables to utilize 100% of single pallet's volume and allowed maximum load. Rigid materials give full protection for the goods inside the packaging and enable to detach each collar separately from the packaging, according to the discharge speed. Pallet collars are foldable and take just a little space when not in use. Pallet collars are produced of Estonian timber and Swedish steel hinges. Pallet collars are used as transportation packaging both in local and export transportation. Using pallet collars as a strong packaging is the best way to organize material handling. Pallet collar is long lasting and reusable packaging. 6, record 5, English, - pallet%20collar

This layer is not self-supporting. Traditionally it is used to improve handling properties(M&M's melt in your mouth, not in your hand) or to prevent moisture loss... It can also be used as an adhesive to seasonings on snack foods..., as a glaze on baked goods... and to increase shelf life and reduce the need of packaging material. The shelf life is extended, because the film acts as a barrier to moisture and/or oil and/or vapor transmission. An edible coating has to have good eating properties : acceptable color, odor, taste, flavor and texture or be undetectable. An other requirement is that it must adhere to the food, but(in most cases) does not stick to packaging material. 3, record 7, English, - edible%20coating

An ESD [electrostatic discharge] event can occur when any charged conductor(including the human body) discharges to an ESDS(electrostatic discharge sensitive) device. The most common cause of electrostatic damage is the direct transfer of electrostatic charge from the human body or a charged material to the electrostatic discharge sensitive(ESDS) device. When one walks across a floor, an electrostatic charge accumulates on the body. Simple contact of a finger to the leads of an ESDS device or assembly allows the body to discharge, possibly causing device damage.... The transfer of charge from an ESDS device is also an ESD event. Static charge may accumulate on the ESDS device itself through handling or contact with packaging materials, worksurfaces, or machine surfaces. 1, record 8, English, - electrostatic%20discharge%20sensitive%20device
