Christmas Special

It's nearly December and the smell of Christmas is in the air. Quite often that smell is of a freshly cut Christmas tree nestling in the corner of your house or in some department store.

Fortunately most of these trees are grown on small farms, only cut down once a year and in relatively small numbers. In comparison, thousands and thousands of trees around the globe, including Australia's fragile forests are cut down every day causing untold damage to provide for our huge demand in paper.

Finally, there is an alternative to paper made from wood. JMP has managed to source a high quality white copy paper made entirely from bamboo.

Bamboo is a member of the grass family and grows at up to 10 times that of trees. It gives off more oxygen and absorbs more carbon. It does not require harmful pesticides and fertilizers to cultivate and uses very little water. It truly is the enviro-friendly paper choice.

For a limited time JMP is offering it's Frogprint brand of A4 Bamboo copy paper at below the price of Reflex paper, a well known product we all have probably used at some time. Frogprint is as bright and white as Reflex and can be used in the same printers and copiers with the same print results. But NO trees are touched to make bamboo paper!

Food Pro Show a Huge Success for JMP

Plastic Slipsheets

Reducing costs is always important to companies especially during times of uncertainty. Slipsheets can not only save an exporter money but increase the amount of shipping space available to them.

Slipsheets practically do the same work as pallets however they are about one tenth of the cost and are much smaller in size. An initial outlay for a push pull device will be required however these can be sourced from just a couple of thousand dollars.

Slipsheets are a thick sheet of plastic which is placed on top of a pallet or flat on the ground. The product is then placed on top and stretch wrapped in place. The push pull device on the forklift will then grab the slipsheet with the product from the pallet and bring it back onto the tines. This process can then be reversed as the slipsheet and product is loaded into the container.

This process creates more room and only costs around $3 compared to a plastic pallet which takes up more room and can cost in excess of $40.
