Important Questions To Answer

Machines are a reliable and productive alternative to hand wrapping. They can benefit your business in various ways. But the two main goals of machine wrapping are to reduce damage and cut down on shipping costs. To accomplish these goals, you need a stretch wrap machine that applies the correct containment force consistently to ensure properly unitized loads.

When you're searching for stretch wrappers, it's important to have the answers to a few key questions about your loads on hand. Share these answers with any customer service representatives and/or distributors you talk to so they can understand your business's stretch wrapping needs.

  • What kind of loads are you wrapping?
  • How many loads do you wrap per day?
  • What's the average length, width, and height of your pallets?
  • What's the lightest load you wrap? The heaviest?
  • Are you required to weigh your loads?
  • How many shifts are you operating?

Understand the Wrapping Process

Machines are smart, but they can't do everything by themselves. Even automatic machines require a certain level of operator input. Here are some things that your machine won't know and that you and your employees need to understand instead:

  • The correct containment force
  • The best kind of film to use
  • How to lock the load to the pallet

Counting the cost: Are you spending too much on pallet wrap?

With all of this considered, here's what you need to get right when searching for the lowest roll cost of stretch film.

1. Communicate properly.

Presenting the case for the 'right' priced pallet wrap can seem like an uphill slog without considering and including the perspectives and goals of other departments. This is where the big picture vision will come in handy. Damaged goods have wide-ranging costs, affecting the reputation of the business and putting a dent in finances and operations targets. Enabling peak efficiency with the correct choice of wrap is best for all involved. So, it is imperative that all departments share information on their needs and the challenges they face to make this happen.

2. Consider all costs.

It's not just wrapping time and plastic use that are affected when you have problems with pallet wrap. New Zealand companies with damaged goods must also consider product replacement costs, freight claim time, and a decrease in customer satisfaction. Then there are the return shipping costs, the time in repair and repackaging, the administration time, the damage to brand reputation, the time-sensitive losses, the environmental impact, and the lost sales and impact on future orders.  

3. Test correctly.

Quite often pricing decisions are made without the right information on a particular product. Without these measurements nobody can ascertain the real value. Here the age, condition and design of the equipment can also place limitations on what film is best suited. Sometimes simple modifications and upgrades can bring older equipment up to speed.
