Stretch wrap is a critical component for securing your products for the all-important journey to your customers. Stretch wrap is easily overlooked during busy day-to-day schedules of food manufacturing, but taking the time to review your usage and applications can save time and money.
Stretch wrap manufacturing technology improves every year. For years 20" wide rolls of 80 gauge 5,000 to 6000-ft long were the industry standard. While those wraps still exist, you can convert to 70, 60, or even 50 gauge high performance film with roll lengths up to 9,000-ft. While your roll price might increase your total stretch wrap usage will go down, and this saves money and uses less material - keeping your operation greener.
For hand wrap applications there are even more solutions. It's no longer necessary to struggle with conventional film, stretching it over short pallets straining your back and wasting time. Pre-stretched hand film with a folded edge makes hand applications less back breaking and faster, while still securing your products.
