Lashing is ideal for use with irregular shaped loads to limit the risk of product damage and keep cargo secure. Signode offers a full range of lashing and strapping for maritime cargo securement. 

Void Fill and Dunnage Solutions

Stabilize and protect cargo during transportation by filling empty spaces within packaging or between items.

Helping to optimize space usage. 

Contributing to safer, more efficient loading and unloading processes. Dunnage bags are lightweight, easy to deploy, and available in various sizes and strengths to suit different cargo types. They’re also suitable for environments where moisture is present.

Anti Slip-Sheets

Use anti slip sheets to increase friction between stacked goods and prevent them from sliding during transport. Where cargo is subject to constant motion from waves and vibrations, these sheets are placed between pallet layers or under loads to enhance stability. 

They help reduce product shifting, tipping, or falling, which can lead to damage or safety hazards. Anti-slip sheets are especially useful when transporting goods like cartons, bags, or boxes on pallets, and they work well in combination with strapping, stretch wrap, and edge protection. Signode can make non-standard sheets to order according to your needs.
