Are you looking for a cost-effective way to improve your logistics? Maybe you want to speed up production without putting a strain on your workforce. Perhaps you need better methods for storing or shipping your goods. Stretch wrapping machine technology may give you the solutions to these problems and much more. Here are some of the good things it has to offer.
What is Stretch Wrapping?
By placing goods on pallets, you make it easier to move them about. It’s also easier to load them into trucks for shipping. However, your palletized loads could get unstable during transit. By tightly placing plastic film all around the load, you protect it and stabilize the load. In fact, it’s like hauling one large container instead of many cartons.
Lower Your Damage Claims
When materials get damaged, it costs you money. For example, if a worker breaks or tears something while moving it, you may have to scrap the material or send it to your re-work department. However, it’s even worse if something gets damaged during transit. Now you have to pay for return shipping and reimburse the customer. Many of these issues are easily avoided when you change over to stretch wrapping machine technology.
Fewer Product Losses
Many companies today have issues with theft, and some of it comes from within the company. However, thanks to strong and sturdy stretch film products, your materials are safe from theft. If someone cuts the film to steal something, it’s easily discovered. This also limits false claims from customers claiming shipment shortages.
Added Protection
A good stretch wrapping machine can install film that protects your goods from UV light. This is an important consideration for some products.
Visibility
Since most stretch films are clear or opaque, it’s easy to scan your materials for inventory and order filling. This helps you keep track of stock with no problems.
