The Framers Forum

I've had to ring a customer to say I cannot get their Nielsen aluminium frame done because I can't get in to the box!

Any ideas?

maybe you could use a ciggy lighter and melt them?

you could just kick it until the frame falls out....

or hit it repeatedly with a large blunt rock.

When confronted with a similar sticker, I decided to run it over with a fork lift truck, however this did not work, the parcel had to go back, I did send the company this photo to prove I tried my best.

Flip the plastic over and pull the loose tab to open those finger slashing monsters.

That could work, with pliers, kevlar gloves and safety goggles - prescription - otherwise I'd never find the package, never mind the banding.

I save these yellow stickers up and whenever I have to send something back to Nielsen I use the most evil packaging tapes/fasteners I can find and cover the box with them.

Leave it out in the rain and all the cardboard will go soggy and drop off. You can then extract the frame from the bands without cutting them. If it isn't raining, bury it in the compost heap. If you haven't got a compost heap, well, you are knackered.



Warning labels on things do annoy me from time to time. Especially the ones that tell you not to do something, but don't elaborate on the consequences of not so doing.
