What is Pallet Wrap
-
Pallet wrap film is generally used to help secure products and goods together on a pallet. The most common places to use pallet wrap film is in warehouses and distribution centre where a large number of products on pallets are shipped out. The pallet wrap film ensures that the goods on the pallet cannot be lost, damaged or even stolen during the transportation to their final destination. It also adds to the safety of personnel as the pallet wrap film prevents loose product from falling and potentially injuring workers.
There are 2 forms of applying the film to the pallet. One way is to use hand pallet wrap film which involves a worker walking around the pallet with a roll of film, tensioning the film around the product as it is applied. This method can lead to physical injuries (primarily back pain or repetitive strain syndrome) on the part of the operator if he has a large number of pallets to wrap on a daily basis. Therefore it is advisable that this method only be used if a small number of pallets need to be wrapped.
The second and most effective way to apply the pallet wrap film is by using a pallet wrapping machine. There are a number of different types of pallet wrapping machine available depending on requirement. The pallet wrapper produces a more securely wrapped pallet due to the constant level of tension being applied, it also reduces the amount of film being used, and aesthetically the wrapped pallet looks a lot better.
