Best practices for specifying stretch wrapping equipment

Consider your optimum force, your equipment's impact on freight and labor...and more when specifying a stretch wrapper.

 

Here are some tips and considerations to keep in mind when shopping for stretch wrapping equipment:
 
1. Determine the optimum force needed. Primary packaging is being drastically lightweighted to control costs and meet sustainability initiatives. This affects the ability of stretch wrapping equipment to contain and unitize loads without crushing or damaging goods. Consider equipment that incorporates technology that ensures the use of the optimal containment on each load.
 
2. Understand how the equipment will impact freight and labor costs. In markets where competition means seeking advantage everywhere, companies need to control freight and labor costs. Some semi-automatic stretch wrappers enable operators to stay on fork trucks while wrapping their loads, saving time and labor while reducing safety risks. Cut transportation costs dramatically by simply weighing each load to ensure quality and gauge freight. Integrated scales allow operators to wrap and weigh loads simultaneously.
