Pallet Wrap and What must you know about it!

The poly wraps or pallet wrap is what we generally use to secure the items that need to be transported securely. It is flexible and stretchy making it distinct from the other wraps as a bubble wrap. It is quite similar to a rubber band because of its elasticity and therefore it tightly packs the items to secure them properly.

Types of Pallet Wrap

Depending on your needs and requirements, you get two types of pallet wrap namely, cast pallet wrap and blown wraps.

Cast pallet wraps. Glossy with a clear finish, cast pallet wraps are perfect to be used to wrap the items that are being transported because clear wrap allows the item to be checked quickly if they need to be identified or documented. Cast wraps are noiseless and improves packaging operation in large inventories.

Blown wraps. Little less stretchy as compared to the cast wraps, blown wraps can be easily distinguished as they are noisy to wrap with a high tack and comparatively durable making them a perfect wrap for extremely delicate items.

Choosing a specialty film

Pallet wraps work wonders for protection against light, moisture, and dust and they are used with several items whether it be food, medicine, or the delicate goods that need to be transported long routes. Depending on your various needs, you must consider some of the properties before seeking out a film for your product:

●     How many items are needed to be wrapped?

●     What are the shapes and sizes of the items needed to be wrapped?

●     Where and for how long the items will remain stored?

●     What are the conditions of the roads on which it is transporting through?

●     Must the wrap reduce pilfering or tampering?

Moreover, consider UV films, if the items are being stored in exposure to dust or sunlight. Security wrap for valuable goods to prevent tampering and ventilated stretch film for the fresh produce to keep them fresh for a long time.

Conclusion

In addition to choosing the appropriate wrap, correct application is what secures your items carefully. If the application is poor, there can be re-stretch during shipping and transportation resulting in vulnerability to damage. Stretch machines are used to increase efficiency and consistency that can not be achieved with manual handling.
