The Beginning of Stretch Wrapping

Moving products safely and securely through the supply chain has always been a priority for businesses. Before stretch wrappers, though, solutions were slow and costly. Many workers had to load trucks one product case at a time. Others relied on metal straps or shrink bags&#;both of which were expensive&#;to secure products together.

Stretch wrapper machines created an easier, more efficient, and more cost-effective way to secure products to a pallet. These machines, which entered the industry at the Packaging Machinery Manufacturer&#;s trade show in , used plastic film to wrap product loads. In addition to using more affordable materials than other methods, this solution was much faster and more convenient for workers.

Competition and Innovation

Packaging and shipping have changed a lot since the &#;70s, so it&#;s no wonder that stretch wrap machines have evolved, too. As demand and competition increased, companies looked for new ways to improve the stretch wrapping process.

This led to incredible innovations, including the ability to pre-stretch film. Stretch wrappers can apply more pre-stretch than manual wrapping, which means businesses can spend less money on materials and implement a more efficient and sustainable wrapping solution.

Different Machine Formats

Stretch wrappers&#; original turntable design is still in use today, but there are also many new formats to suit a wider variety of wrapping needs. One example is the rotary arm stretch wrapper. This machine uses a rotating arm to revolve around the product load and apply stretch film without moving the pallet itself, making it perfect for heavy or unstable loads.

Other applications, such as horizontal stretch wrappers and portable stretch wrappers, have also become valuable solutions in the industry. With a wide variety of stretch wrapping machines available, businesses can easily find the equipment that best suits their unique workflows.

Stretch Film Formulation (getting the right mix)

Like any formulation whether it be for pie crust or stretch film, certain ingredients are added to the formula for certain reasons. In the case of stretch film, certain resins and/or additives are added to provide the puncture resistance, strength, sticky cling, and resistance to ultra violet rays, or to give it anti static properties.

The science of stretch film is ever changing as technology allows us to test the boundaries. It is critical to ensure that you are buying the right stretch film for your specific application. Understand what is needed to getting the specific features you need out of your stretch film is important, and creating up your own specification requirements is a good way to start.
