Plastics, metal and manufacturing supplies

Plastics molders, metal shops, engine rebuilders and assembly plants order a different mix from us than a packaging-only buyer. Parts need protecting between operations, hardware goes out by the box, and the same foam or tape gets used every week. This page covers what those plants actually buy from Supply Tie.

Protecting parts between operations

Foam rolls: polyethylene foam rolls from 1/32 in to 1/4 in thick, in 48, 60 and 72 in widths. The foam roll size chart lists the slit widths and the 12 in perforation offered on each roll.
Foam and poly sleeves: foam and bubble products, plus poly tubing and sleeves for long parts. Foam sleeves in sizes such as 24 × 36 in are quoted to your spec.
Bags: layflat bags and reclosable bags for kits and loose parts, with every size in the poly bag size chart.

Tape for heavy cartons

Water-activated tape for sealing heavy corrugated cartons.
Filament tape for bundling and reinforcing.
Everything else, including carton sealing tape, is in the tape size chart.

Fasteners, inserts and shop consumables

Fasteners: screws and fasteners, including SAE hardware. Large box quantities (10,000 and up) are quoted.
Threaded inserts and drivers: send the thread size and insert length and we will check the matching insert and driver.
Brushes and abrasives: chip brushes and sandpaper, discs and belts for deburring and cleanup.
Gloves: cut-resistant gloves for sheet metal and trim work, and coated knit gloves for general handling.

Shipping and moving product

Strapping and seals (sized in the strapping size chart), machine stretch film, and pallet jacks and lifts for the floor.

Predictable reorders

If your line uses a set amount every week, such as four or five boxes of foam sleeves, tell us your usage. We will quote that quantity and can set it up as a standing order.

Pallet and case quantities: quoted through bulk and pallet quantities.
Send your list: send your part list or PO and we will match each line.
Quote this cart: build the order in your cart and use the Quote this cart link on the cart page.
Net 30: for approved business accounts. See account setup. You can also keep your own part numbers against the products you buy.

Sites in the Evansville area, the Louisville area or Dubois County? We can set you up on a weekly, every-other-week or as-needed delivery schedule. Ask us what works for you.

Manufacturing questions

Can we get foam sleeves on a standing order?
Tell us roughly what you use per week. We will quote that quantity and can set it up as a standing order.

Can we get box quantities on 10,000+ fasteners?
Yes. Send the part numbers and quantities and we will quote box quantities.

Water-activated tape or filament tape?
Water-activated tape bonds into the carton fibers for sealing. Filament tape is reinforced with fibers for bundling and heavy loads. Many shops use both.
