Our New U.S. Packaging Website
A Better Shopping Experience Awaits at U.S. Packaging & Wrapping We’ve recently completed a major overhaul of our website to deliver a smoother, more helpful experience for everyone who shops with us. The products you know and trust remain the same, and the pricing hasn’t changed. What has changed is how easy it is to find what you need, learn more about it, and place your order with confidence. Whether you’re a longtime customer or visiting us for the first time, the updated site is designed to save you time and give you clearer information before you buy. Existing customers will also find it simple to set up a new password, log in, review past orders, and reorder favorite items in just a few clicks. Here’s a closer look at the improvements you’ll notice when you visit uspackagingandwrapping.com. Sharper Images and Clearer Product Details Photographs across the site are now higher resolution, so they're sharper and more detailed. Charts, graphics, and specification sheets are easier to read, so you can quickly evaluate dimensions, features, and performance data without calling for clarification. Take a walk through our Packaging Machines section, and you’ll see the difference right away. Clear photographs let you examine even small details of the equipment. Combined with updated product pages, these images make it simpler to compare options and confirm that a machine or material is the right fit for your operation. Faster Search and Familiar Navigation The new search bar is more responsive and user-friendly, helping you locate products quickly by name, type, or application. While the overall navigation structure will feel familiar, a single click now opens richer category pages filled with organized links, product photos, and supporting information. Selecting Packaging Materials, for example, reveals everything from heat shrink wrap and stretch film to printer’s film and pallet covers. From there, you can move into detailed product pages that include photographs, specifications, and related articles. The Packaging Machines category works the same way, presenting available equipment, pricing, and accessories so you can explore options efficiently. Helpful Filtering Tools On the left side of many collection pages, you’ll find a new Filter tool. You can check product availability and sort by items currently in stock. You can also filter by price range to narrow results to the budget that works for your business. These tools are especially useful when you’re comparing similar films, bags, or machines and want to focus on what’s ready to ship and within your target price. More Complete Product Information Each product page now includes a greater depth of information. You’ll find detailed specifications, feature highlights, warranty details, and links to supporting resources. Many pages also connect to related articles that provide additional context on applications, best practices, or comparisons. As one example, the page for the TL-1519 ECMC Shrink Combo System lists key machine specifications such as tunnel speed, dimensions, overall length, and warranty information. Videos show the equipment in operation with real product samples, giving you a practical sense of how it performs. You’ll also find links to a setup guide, testing checklist, and user manual so your team can prepare for installation and operation. Similar levels of detail are available across other machines and packaging supplies. Product Comparison Feature A comparison tool lets you select and review similar items side by side. This makes it easier to see differences in size, capacity, features, or pricing without opening multiple browser tabs.
