Company History
Superior Packaging Company was
established in 1994 and is based in
Minnesota. The company’s owner
spent many years working with
train derailments and load transfers,
and this led to the realization of the
importance of damage prevention
materials. This knowledge is what
prompted the founding of Superior
Packaging Company. We have Bulkhead Manufacturing Line
experienced exceptional growth
as we educate our customers in the importance of damage
prevention and now have a strong presence throughout North
America.

Build-up Pads
Made of laminated sheets of corrugated
material which are then cut into specific
sizes according to the customer’s
application. There is a huge variety of
sizes and thicknesses for virtually
unlimited uses.
 Pallet runners
 Build-ups for bulk boxes
 Used between layers of steel sheeting
 Internal packaging in boxes
 Used in bulkheads for added compression strength
 Used as roll risers under large paper rolls
 VIRTUALLY UNLIMITED USES FOR ANY APPLICATION!


Woodcore Panels
Woodcore Panels are load divider panels made
from honeycomb and wood, typically 1x4, 1x2 or
2x4 lumber. They are lighter weight and used in
place of more expensive plywood sheets. The
corrugated facing Woodcore Panels act as a buffer
next to your product units.

 Place vertically between stacks to Woodcore Panel with Air Bag
prevent toppling.
 Use as dividers between multiple shipments in one trailer.
 Place horizontally on top of stack to allow safer and more
stable double stacking.
 Use on each side of an airbag to evenly distribute the force of
the bag.


Voidfillers
Voidfillers are used crosswise to prevent damage from
side shifting. Custom sizes are available in any width or
drop length needed for your application. We pre-expand
100% of our void fillers after production to ensure ease
of use for your loading personnel = saves you time &
money!

Accordion Void Filler

MultiCorr Voidfillers are
collapsible to save you valuable
space. They are available with 1 or
2 side sheets for a smooth side MultiCorr with Hanger
surface. They are also recyclable.

Hangers can be customized in a variety
of ways and sizes. They can be offset to Heavy Duty Voidfiller on rolled paper
1 side and scored if needed. They are
also recyclable.


Corrugated Pallets
Corrugated pallets can be used in place of
traditional woods pallets to save money.
They are just as strong, much lighter weight
and can be made to the customer’s specific
size and strength as well as being recyclable.

Corrugated pallets can be made either 2 way or 4 way.
The legs can be wrapped with corrugated for added strength.
Pallets can also be made with a bottom deck sheet for use
on conveyor tracks.
Pallets can be ordered fully assembled or as separate
components with pressure sensitive adhesive applied so they
Pallets with 3 runners
can be assembled as needed. By ordering the components for
assembly, more can be shipped at a time and the customer can
save space by assembling pallets as they are needed.


Corrugated Sheets
Corrugated Sheets are a cost effective way to separate
top and bottom tiers, and uneven rows of lading by
protecting the product in transit from being damaged by
the tiers coming in contact with each other. They can also
be used as liners inside railcars, containers or trailers.
The corrugated sheets can be used as dust covers, pallet
tops, load or pallet divider sheets and much more. They
are available in many different sizes and thicknesses
depending on the application, and are recyclable.

Bulkhead Panels
Bulkhead Panels are strong enough
to protect against end to end
impact in railcars. We manufacture
different cell sizes depending on
the compression needed. They are
also available with only one side
sheet to allow collapse for space
savings.

The corrugated material is sandwiched between
two corrugated sheets. The corrugated materials
are usually between 1 inch to 10 inches in
thickness depending on needed strength. They are
also recyclable.

Saddle Pack for Truck & Intermodal
Saddle Packs will secure single units against
side shifting and prevent single units from
creeping to the sidewalls. When you must load
single palletized units down the center of any
transport vehicle, use Saddle Packs to protect
your cargo.

Saddle Packs also help to maintain
proper axle weight. The drop length and
filler width is custom to the application
requirements.

Anti-Skid Sheets
Anti-skid sheets are designed for a variety of
applications and are available in e-flute and
chipboard construction in a variety of thicknesses
with recycled or waterproof coating on one or two
sides. They hold products in place using cohesive
properties. Achieving a co-efficient friction of 30
degrees, they are ideal for securing products as
ancillary packaging or in pallet tier sheets.
They can be used to stabilize difficult loads, and
eliminate slippage and increase safety in
warehouse and in transit. They also reduce transport costs by increasing load per
pallet.
 Eliminate load slipping from the slip sheet, reduce handling and
storage space.
 Reduce efficiency of packaging lines and overall packaging.
 Cost efficient and fully recyclable.


Air Bags
Air bags come in a wide variety of strengths
and sizes to meet all of your shipping needs
and are available as re-usable or disposable.
Air bags are an economical and convenient
way to protect your product whether shipping
by rail, truck or container. They have an
outstanding load stabilizing capacity and can withstand tons of pressure and
resistance to load shifting.

They are lightweight, easy to position and
quickly inflated.

Air Bag Tips
Always protect the air bag. Pad any part of the air
bag that comes in contact with the pallet with
corrugated materials or chip board.

Always inspect re-usable bags after use and again
prior to re-use. If damaged, dispose of the bag –
Correct don’t risk it!

Align skids when double Don’t use multiple air bags together to fill a void. One
stacking to prevent instability will almost always be ejected from position and all
stability will be lost.

Fill bag until freight stops moving and is locked
securely to rail car, container or trailer side walls. Air
bag should be firm and tight to the touch, but not
over-inflated. Never exceed 12” after inflation, if so,
bulkheads should be used.
Incorrect To prevent failure never fold an air bag!


Corner Posts
Corner Posts will keep your stacked
loads strait, absorb shock and
prevent damage. Their shape
increases their load bearing strength,
using less paper. This cuts your
packaging costs, allowing more units
per pallet. They are also recyclable.

Corner Posts are available in calipers ranging from .080 to .250 with a
variety of leg lengths and overall lengths of any size. You can also utilize
our standard white clay-coated top for printing with one color graphics,
your message or logo to enhance your merchandising efforts.


Honeycomb
Honeycomb is made of kraft liner formed into continuous uniform cells. When
expanded it can be faced with kraft liner and color coated. It can also be faced with
other substrates.
Honeycomb’s distinctive cellular pattern and
ability to bend and stretch into countless shapes
and patterns allows imaginative uses.
Honeycomb is also recyclable and biodegradable,
and in most instances is more cost effective
than the foam type products used in inner
packing and many other applications. The
reduction of sound transmission and deadening
of vibrational energy are other important advantages of this product.
Pound for pound, honeycomb is the strongest and most economical core available
for use today. The cellular form provides outstanding top to bottom compression,
making it an ideal component to replace wood pallets.


Slip Sheets and Tier Sheets
Slip Sheets and Tier Sheets are designed for a
variety of applications from tier sheet and
packaging applications to counter roll uses. They
hold products in place using cohesive
properties. In a counter roll configuration they
can be rolled out as a protective barrier for floors
in new construction sites or moving applications.
Slip sheets (push-pull) sheets come in a wide
variety of caliper thicknesses.

 Palletized bagged products: dog food, salt, bulk items.
 Palletized high graphic packaging.
 Palletized PET bottles and cans for beverage applications.
 Floor protection.
 Keep rolls of paper from shifting in transit.
