It’s a straightforward transition to optimize your pallet wrapping and packaging processes.

Here are five compelling reasons why high-performance films can transform your operations.

1: Financial Savings

Absolutely! High-performance pallet wrap ultimately costs less. Although the initial cost per roll may be higher, your real expenses will be clearly visible when you calculate costs per pallet wrapped. You can read more about this here.

Lower-quality wraps are generally weaker, leading to more breakages and requiring more wrap initially. Additionally, pallets may need to be rewrapped multiple times during transportation.

With premium films, you only need to wrap pallets once to ensure strength and security. Given the stretch capability of high-performance films, you will actually use less material while still achieving a consistent and stable wrap. By switching to a premium film, studies project an average cost savings of 25%.

2: Time Efficiency

The effectiveness of pallet wrap lies in its stretch ability. Low-performance films lack this characteristic, causing them to break too easily and leading to multiple wraps per pallet. This creates inefficiencies, consuming time for both your team and others along the supply chain. Wasting hours on rewrapping and disposing of excess plastic is simply unproductive.

Using less material results in fewer roll changes and minimizes disruptions in production. By transitioning to higher-quality wraps, your team could experience around 2,056 fewer roll changes annually. At just 2 minutes per change, that translates into a savings of 68 working hours.

3: Easier for Your Warehouse Team

Investing in high-performance pallet wrap reduces the frequency of wraps and roll changes needed by your team. You can rely on a robust, high-quality alternative that minimizes interruptions from breakages and extra rewinds.

If you're wrapping more than 50 pallets manually, consider utilizing pallet wrapping machinery to further support your team and enhance production efficiency.

4: Reduction of Plastic Waste

It's estimated that a staggering 140,000 tonnes of stretch wrap is consumed annually in the UK, with a significant portion ending up in landfills.

If your operation wraps 400 pallets daily using 23-micron wrap, you're producing approximately 23 tonnes of plastic waste each year. However, by switching to a high-performance stretch wrap that extends further, your plastic usage could be reduced by over 50%, down to about 10 tonnes annually.

During this climate crisis, making the sustainable choice to decrease plastic waste is not only logical but also financially prudent.

5: Achieve Your Objectives

High-performance pallet wraps guarantee the secure and undamaged arrival of your products at their ultimate destination. Their consistent strength minimizes breakages and increases customer loyalty. Additionally, you're helping to lessen the plastic waste your customers must manage, aiding them in reducing their carbon footprints.

By making the switch to high-performance pallet wraps, you can save money, decrease plastic use, enhance your reputation for flawless delivery, and assist your team in their efforts. There's nothing to lose and everything to gain.
