The purpose of using stretch wrap is to secure a load to a pallet. Many shipping departments start using hand wrap and when volumes increase over time, keep using the same solution… Because it’s always been done that way.
Machine Applied Stretch Film can be a key to unlock savings and provide better quality shipping results.
Hand Wrapping vs. Machine Applied Stretch Film
Our customer in the vegetable canning industry frequently used stretch hand wrap to secure and protect their products.
After looking at the purchase history of the customer, it was found that they were spending too much money on hand wrap per year. It was time to introduce the customer to a Machine Applied Stretch Film system which could increase their productivity.
This system could decrease the amount of stretch film used and reduce labour costs as well.
Our main challenge with this solution was that the customer had always though that machine applied stretch film would not work properly with the product packaging and thought the stretch wrap would tear while being applied.
