Lower-cost threads may seem like a bargain, but using thread that\u2019s too thin and too weak can cause <a href=\"https:\/\/hold-true.com\/2017\/06\/sewn-fabric-dunnage-seams\/\">sewn fabric dunnage seams<\/a> to fail. Rack bag threads that can\u2019t withstand the loading or unloading of parts aren\u2019t cost-effective. For the best return on investment (ROI), it\u2019s important to account for all your application\u2019s requirements.<\/p>\n<p>For example, threads that won\u2019t withstand water or sunlight aren\u2019t a good choice for sewn fabric dunnage that\u2019s stored outdoors. Threads that don\u2019t support cleaning can muddy your true costs, too. Choosing the right rack bag thread is just one of many design considerations, but packaging engineers need to pay close attention to material selection to avoid problems like pockets that sag and seams that tear.<\/p>\n<h2>Thread Types and Coatings<\/h2>\n<p>Threads for sewn fabric dunnage can be made of Kevlar, nylon, polyester, or cotton.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dupont.com\/content\/dam\/dupont\/products-and-services\/fabrics-fibers-and-nonwovens\/fibers\/documents\/Kevlar_Technical_Guide.pdf\">Kevlar<\/a> thread is significantly stronger than nylon or polyester.<\/li>\n<li>Nylon thread is fine for general-purpose use, but it can\u2019t withstand prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun.<\/li>\n<li>Polyester thread looks like nylon, but has better sunlight and moisture resistance.<\/li>\n<li>Cotton thread is soft and durable, but it\u2019s not as strong as polyester. Plus, cotton thread will rot in the elements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thread coatings can increase your\u00a0reusable packaging costs, but these substances impart properties that can improve thread life and performance. For example, polyester and nylon threads that are bonded have a smooth, protective coating that strengthens the thread and makes it less abrasive. To reduce friction during winding, polyester threads can be treated with a lubricant.<\/p>\n<h2>Thread Colors and Age<\/h2>\n<p>Most rack back threads are either white or black in color. These colors tend to differ in age.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>White threads tend to be newer because they\u2019re sold as they are, or dyed different colors to meet customer demand.<\/li>\n<li>Black threads tend to be older because some thread manufacturers re-dye their old, unsold colored thread so that it\u2019s black.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dying older threads black saves the thread supplier money, but may cost the packaging user in the long run. Unlike wine, rack bag threads don\u2019t improve with age. Rather, older threads tend to be weaker.<\/p>\n<h2>Reusable Packaging Costs and Quality Sewn Fabric Dunnage<\/h2>\n<p>Hold-True, a Made in the USA manufacturer of reusable packaging, can help you to select the right threads for sewn fabric dunnage. For example, the threads we recommend are treated with a UV inhibitor to reduce damage from sunlight and prevent fading or spotting in the thread color. Importantly, we only buy thread from supplier who don\u2019t re-dye old, colored thread. High-quality thread may cost more, but rack bags that last save you money in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about us and how we can help you, <a href=\"https:\/\/hold-true.com\/contact\/\">contact Hold-True<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reusable packaging costs include thread selection for sewn fabric dunnage.
