​Advantages of Reviewing your Stretch Film

Whilst your stretch film might seem like a straightforward packaging product, there is a lot more to it than meets the eye! We bet that most of the time, you just look at how much you are paying for a roll of stretch film. On face value, you might think you are getting the best deal if you get a cheaper roll price – yet there are lots more you should consider.

For example, you might be using an expensive, high specification stretch film but might not need to. Instead, you could swap it to a lower micron engineered film to make savings. But, how do you know you are using the right film?

With a stretch film application check, we will review:

-The amount of film you are using.

-How effectively your film stretches.

-How much it currently costs you to wrap a pallet.

-The current tension of your film & pallet load stability.

-The specification of the film you are using & your current application method.

Once we have evaluated all the information, we will recommend the stretch film and/or equipment that will work best for your business.

So, what advantages can you expect with a film application review?

1) Save money: We have helped customers save up to 56% of their stretch film spend by recommending innovations, like our 48-gauge power pre-stretch machine wrap.

2) Improve production efficiency: If you use fit-for-purpose stretch film that has been applied properly, you will get more pallets wrapped per hour and your staff will spend less time changing rolls.

3) Save space: As you will be getting the maximum yield from your stretch wrap, you will need less rolls.

4) Minimize your waste: Using less product means you are producing less waste. This is great from an environmental perspective and will help you reduce your packaging waste.
