4 Benefits of a Stretch Wrapping Machine vs Hand Wrapping

August 28, 2019

1) Safety

Depending on the size and shape of the pallet that you are wrapping, there is a great amount of bending and twisting involved ensuring that the entire pallet is wrapped thoroughly. Even with very neat and square pallets, employees are walking around in circles causing dizziness and fatigue. The amount of manual labor involved with stretch wrapping a pallet by hand is high and often takes a lot of energy that employees will need throughout the day. Upgrading to a stretch wrapping machine can greatly improve the health, energy, and safety of your warehouse workers.

2) Cost Savings

Stretch wrapping machines provide incredible material cost savings to any packaging/shipping process. One contributing factor of material cost savings is the pre-stretch functionality of Stretch Film. A standard stretch wrapping machine can pre-stretch the material by 260% its original length. This results in huge savings for customers that are currently wrapping by hand. The average pre-stretch capability of an employee wrapping a pallet by hand is between 10-20%. Using an average of 240 to 250% less material per skid is an added-value that contributes to why stretch wrapping machines are so cost justifiable and provide a quick ROI in any process.
