I wouldn’t call this one a bad batch but we did have a problem with a skid.
Turns out the trucking company double staked one set of pallets this summer and in the heat, the tactifier tends to ooze a bit. This is the reason that give the butyl it adhesion.
Well the added weight of an entire pallet stacked on top of the other pallet squashed the butyl so much that the tactifier was compressed and stuck to the paper very well.
we had 72 boxes that turned out this way. about 30 of them went out when we realized the problem. The random SQ check we did was fine but the boxes towards the bottom of the skid were effected the most. Since those ones are the last ones to get converted in to retail packaging, they are the top boxes onthe shelf and the first to ship.
Luckily it was the only box that had the white paper. NOt th ebrown paper which we recently changed over too
Turns out that if you put it in the fridge for a few minutes and cool it of the paper peels back just fine.
We contacted most of the people that we though go the material but lots of times we send out boxes for charity or for freebies and don't keep track of where these ones go.
The problem has been resolved after a lengthy talk with the trucking company, but still, it is a major pain in the butt.
If you happen to be one of the people that got some of this material, let me know. I will check the batch and lot number and see if it matches up. I'll replace the material for free and will pay for the shipping charges no problem. Just send me an email.
