A poorly packed pallet can lead to damage, extra costs and unnecessary risks during transport. Whether you work with strapping, wrapping film or stretch hood, the right approach ensures maximum stability and efficiency. Discover how to save material without losing strength, prevent errors and optimize your packaging process.
1. Choose the right packaging material
Each product requires a different approach.
- Strapping (PP or PET) for heavy loads and extra strength.
- Stretch wrapping film is suitable for both light and heavy pallets, can be easily adapted to the shape and size/height of the pallet & offers protection against external factors such as dirt, moisture and dust.
- Stretch hood for fast, automatic stabilization and waterproof protection.
2. Use the right tension and stretchability
Too loose strapping or wrapping film makes the pallet unstable, while too tight tension can damage the products. Set up packaging machines correctly and use stretch film with the right pre-stretch capacity.
3. Minimize material consumption without losing stability
Excessive use of stretch film or strapping increases costs and waste. Choose high-quality materials with optimum thickness and strength, so that you need less for a secured load.
4. Automate and standardize the packaging process
Use automated packaging machines to make strapping or wrapping consistent and efficient. This reduces human error and ensures uniform packaging, which makes transport and storage easier and more efficient.
5. Check and test packaging quality regularly
Perform regular stability tests, such as a tilt test or acceleration test, to see if the packaging protects the load properly. Adjust settings or materials if necessary for maximum safety.
