What types of packaging and facility supplies does Vertex carry?
Vertex Packaging Supplies provides packaging, shipping, janitorial, safety, and foodservice supplies for businesses. Our selection includes corrugated boxes, poly bags, stretch and shrink film, tape, strapping, labels, mailers, cushioning, containers, chemicals, safety products, and related tools and equipment. Contact us if you need help locating a particular size, material, or application.
Can I purchase products directly from the website?
The website currently presents our product families rather than online checkout. Send us your product description, dimensions, quantity, and delivery location, and our team can confirm availability and prepare a quote.
How do I request a quote from Vertex Packaging Supplies?
Use the contact form on this page, email info@vpsupplies.com, or call (323) 622-1774. For a faster and more accurate quote, include the product type, size or specifications, estimated quantity, current item number if available, and required delivery date.
How do I choose the right corrugated box size and strength?
Start with the product dimensions, packed weight, fragility, stacking conditions, and shipping method. A box should leave enough room for appropriate cushioning without creating unnecessary empty space. Edge Crush Test (ECT) and burst-strength ratings describe different performance characteristics. Vertex can help you compare available box sizes and grades for your shipping application.
What poly bag thickness should I use?
The appropriate thickness depends on the product weight, shape, sharp edges, handling, and required protection. Lighter items may work with thinner bags, while heavy, abrasive, or irregular products generally need a higher mil thickness. Share your application and bag dimensions with our team so we can help narrow the options.
What is the difference between hand stretch film and machine stretch film?
Hand stretch film is designed for manual wrapping and is practical for lower-volume operations or varied loads. Machine stretch film is made for compatible wrapping equipment and can improve consistency and throughput in higher-volume operations. The best choice depends on load weight, pallet stability, daily volume, equipment, and performance requirements.
Do you offer bulk or recurring-order pricing?
Pricing depends on the item, specifications, quantity, and order frequency. Tell us what you use and how often you reorder, and we can review suitable case quantities and available volume-pricing options.
Are minimum order quantities required?
Minimums and case quantities vary by product and manufacturer. Some products are stocked by the case, while special sizes or configurations may require larger quantities. Contact Vertex with the item and quantity you need so we can confirm the applicable ordering requirements.
Does Vertex Packaging Supplies offer delivery?
Vertex offers delivery on qualifying orders. Delivery availability, timing, and any applicable requirements depend on the products, order size, and destination. We are based in Santa Fe Springs, California; provide your ZIP code when requesting a quote so our team can confirm the available delivery options.
How quickly can an order be ready?
Lead times vary based on current inventory, quantity, product specifications, and whether an item is standard or special order. Include your required date when contacting us, and we will confirm availability and timing before you place the order.
Can Vertex help identify an equivalent or alternative product?
Yes. Send the current item number, product label, dimensions, material, thickness or strength rating, case pack, and a photo when possible. Our team can review available alternatives, but you should confirm that any substitute meets your operational, regulatory, and product-contact requirements before use.
How can I confirm whether a product is suitable for food contact or a regulated application?
Suitability depends on the specific product and intended use. Tell us the application and request the relevant manufacturer documentation before ordering. Do not assume that every bag, container, chemical, glove, or packaging material is approved for food contact or another regulated use.
