The given answer is true because the statement in the question suggests that Landsberg features melamine dry erase boards in their catalog.

The most common poly bag is the Open End Flat. This type of bag is widely used for various purposes such as packaging, storing, and transporting goods. It is called "Open End" because it has one open end that can be easily sealed or closed using adhesive tapes, heat sealing, or twist ties. The "Flat" refers to its shape, which is a flat rectangular bag without any gussets or folds. Open End Flat poly bags are versatile, cost-effective, and suitable for a wide range of industries and applications.

Sealed Air is the correct answer because they are the vendor that supplies Landsberg with Korrvu.

Nitrile gloves are recommended when working with chemicals because they provide excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including oils, solvents, and acids. They offer superior protection compared to latex and vinyl gloves, as they are less likely to tear or puncture. Nitrile gloves are also suitable for individuals with latex allergies. Leather gloves, on the other hand, are not recommended for working with chemicals as they do not provide adequate protection against chemical hazards.

Chipboard is rated by caliper, which is a measure of thickness. Caliper refers to the thickness of the chipboard, which is an important factor in determining its strength and durability. The higher the caliper, the thicker and stronger the chipboard will be. Caliper is commonly used in the paper and packaging industry to specify the thickness of various materials, including chipboard.

A carton that can be manipulated to different sizes is called a variable depth box. This type of box is designed with adjustable flaps or panels that can be folded or unfolded to accommodate different sizes or quantities of items. It provides flexibility and versatility in packaging, as it can be easily adjusted to fit various dimensions, making it ideal for shipping and storage purposes.

80 gauge stretch wrap is recommended for pallet loads up to 2500 lbs. The gauge of stretch wrap refers to its thickness, with a higher gauge indicating a thicker and stronger wrap. In this case, 80 gauge wrap is capable of securely holding pallet loads weighing up to 2500 lbs. This means that using this particular stretch wrap ensures that the load will be adequately protected and stabilized during transportation or storage.

The minimum order for custom print V-Board is 1 pallet. This means that in order to place an order for custom print V-Board, the minimum quantity required is one full pallet of the product. This indicates that the company has a specific production and packaging process that requires orders to be made in bulk quantities, and they do not accept smaller orders.

Hot melt tape is the recommended box sealing tape for a damp environment because it is made from synthetic rubber adhesive that has good resistance to moisture. This type of tape is designed to maintain its adhesive properties even in humid conditions, ensuring that the boxes remain securely sealed. Acrylic, filament, and masking tapes may not offer the same level of moisture resistance and could potentially lose their adhesion in a damp environment.

The available grades for latex gloves include surgical, industrial, and food service. This means that all of the options listed (surgical, industrial, and food service) are correct.

The number on a grocery bag indicates its size. This number is typically printed on the bag and helps determine the capacity or dimensions of the bag. It is useful for both customers and store employees to easily identify the appropriate bag size for their needs.

The Jiffy-Lite Mailer would be the best suggestion for a customer concerned about saving postage. This mailer is designed to be lightweight and compact, which helps reduce postage costs. It provides cushioning to protect the contents during shipping while also being cost-effective. The other options, such as the Jiff Tuff Guard, Jiffy Rigi Bag, and ShurTuff Mailer, may offer different levels of protection but may be bulkier and heavier, resulting in higher postage fees. Therefore, the Jiffy-Lite Mailer is the most suitable option for saving on postage.

The correct answer is Laminations & Caraustar. These two companies are the preferred suppliers for edge protection (v-board).

The correct answer is 60 Yards. This is the roll length of utility grade masking tape.

The best alternative to a shipping tube when storage space is a challenge is a Tri-Tube. Tri-Tube packaging is designed to maximize space efficiency while still providing protection for the contents. Unlike regular slotted cartons or roll end tuck tops, Tri-Tubes have a triangular shape that allows them to fit snugly together, minimizing wasted space. Poly tubing is not as efficient for storage as Tri-Tubes because it is a continuous roll and may take up more space. Therefore, Tri-Tube is the best alternative in this scenario.

The upcharge for standard printed v-board from plain is 0%. This means that there is no additional cost or increase in price for getting the v-board printed. The standard printed v-board is priced the same as the plain v-board, indicating that there is no extra charge for the printing service.

The Jiffy Rigi Bag is the best suited for mailing a book because it is specifically designed to provide rigid protection for items like books. It is made with a rigid paperboard construction that offers excellent resistance against bending or crushing, ensuring the book stays safe during transit. The bag also has a self-sealing closure, making it convenient to use. Overall, the Jiffy Rigi Bag provides the necessary protection and durability required for mailing a book.

CautionBoard and LibertyLine are the standard print options for V-Board. These options are likely different designs or styles available for printing on V-Board. The other options, EdgeProtect and VisionBoard, are not mentioned as standard print options for V-Board.

Thermal transfer is the suggested labelling system for cartons that will be on the shelf for over a year. This method uses a thermal print head to transfer ink from a ribbon onto the label, creating a long-lasting and durable print. Unlike direct thermal printing, which fades over time, thermal transfer labels can withstand exposure to light, heat, and moisture, making them ideal for long-term storage. Pressure sensitive and hot melt labels are not specifically designed for long-term durability, making thermal transfer the best option in this scenario.
