Does stretch film add value to your business?
Achieving dramatic annual savings is surprisingly possible through small changes in stretch wrap materials and the pallet wrapping process. However, it is not by choosing the least expensive stretch film. It’s through Stretch Film Right-Gauging and here is why.
Hands down, the most valuable item on a pallet ready for shipping is neither the film used to wrap it nor the pallet or the outer packaging, it is the product. And the value of the lost revenue, if the product is damaged in shipping and becomes unsaleable, by far outweighs the cost of stretch film used to wrap it. Stretch film is not a cost to your business! It adds value to your business by enabling the safe shipment of your valuable products to your customers.
The easier way to choose the correct stretch film
You will be pleased to know that there is a solution that makes the selection of the stretch film easier. Right-Gauging treats every application as a unique set of circumstances and variables. Just because the stretch film is involved, does not mean applications are universal!
PACKPRO load containment experts define a Right-Gauging assessment as a combination of the correct film, thickness, overlap, revolutions and force-to-load, that ensures appropriate containment force to the top, middle and bottom of the pallet.
You can be confident knowing that the Right-Gauging process sets the containment standard that is measurable, repeatable and cost-effective.
