The SureStacker rackable corrugated pallet is designed for multiple uses in all types of industries. It has been tested under specific load-bearing weights and has been certified as meeting American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. High-speed bonding of hardboard to double- and triple-wall corrugated board creates a bond that does not sheer or peel under stress. Stringers consist of one or more 3.5-inch vertical strands of recyclable 3/16-inch wet-processed hardboard and four or more layers of laminated double- or triple-wall corrugated.

The recyclable pallets, which can be designed to meet customers' specifications for size, weight and entry and weigh an average of only 19 pounds, are shipped as set-up units. Packaging Unlimited (502) 515-2770 www.packagingunlimited.com

Web-enabled iLS.PRE-SHIP is an express-shipment application that lets employees create their own virtual shipping room at their desktops. Users can shop for preferred shipping options and add special instructions. Bar-coded, address-verified printed forms at the user's desk mean no more illegible, handwritten shipment-request forms. Mailroom operators simply scan the bar code, and the package information is transmitted to a Neopost shipping system and processed for carrier pickup. The system automatically forwards an e-mail notification to both the sender and recipient confirming shipment time, carrier service, estimated delivery time and a link for real-time tracking.

A steel-frame version that provides additional durability and strength has been added to the Accuzone conveyor line. Accuzone provides accumulation zones for accurate placement of product, one unit per zone.

Drive rollers use precision 24-volt, direct-current brushless motors. Each zone has its own drive roller, which allows for zone operation only when product has to move. This provides true zero-pressure accumulation and reduces noise levels.

The Accuzone line of conveyors includes standard, right-angle straight, curve, merge/divert, and incline/decline transfer modules in widths ranging from 16 up to 34 inches. The conveyor can transport up to 75 pounds per zone at speeds ranging from 30 to 240 feet per minute. Alvey Systems (877) 935-4564 www.alvey.com
