Top 3 Reasons to Use Pallet Wrappers

It's surprising how many companies still hand-wrap their pallets before shipping. Small companies often hand-pack their pallets and will continue to do so even after they have grown and not improved their processes. Sometimes we see large companies shipping many pallets, but still hand-wrapping their products when they needed a machine a few years ago, and it is always felt that the cost of a Pallet Wrapping Machine is higher than the cost of hand-wrapping pallets.

So what's the problem with hand-packing pallets? It looks efficient and hand-wrapping is cheaper than buying an expensive machine, right? Here are 3 reasons Pallet Wrapping Machine Suppliers will tell you the advantages of buying a pallet wrapping machine.

1. Load Limitation: The reason for packing pallets is to protect the products in transit so that all items arrive one by one. With an automatic pallet wrapper, products are packaged consistently every time. Hand-packed pallets are often ineffective because too much film is wasted or not enough film is used to hold the product.

2. Labor redistribution: By using an automatic pallet wrapper, you can free up your employees to be more productive. They can perform more profitable tasks, such as picking and packing orders or loading trucks, instead of running around pallets with hand wraps.

3. Film cost savings: Package consistency and stretch film savings are two major advantages of pallet wrappers. The biggest savings with the machine come from pre-stretched film. Powerful pre-stretched film reduces film usage by up to 40%. The film is stretched during dispensing by power texturing rolls in the film tray. Even with small volumes, you can save thousands of dollars on stretch packaging by pre-stretching. These film savings become the most powerful asset in the justification of a machine purchase. In just a few years, you can pay off your initial investment. Over the next few years, you'll have net savings in consumable costs compared to the old manual packaging process.
