Stretch wrap, also known as pallet wrap, is a highly stretchable plastic film commonly used to secure pallets and protect goods during storage and transportation. Made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE), it ensures the safety and stability of products, while also offering eco-friendly alternatives. In this article, we will answer why your company should consider using stretch wrap to secure pallets/goods by looking at how top global companies benefit from using the product.

Improved Load Stability

One of the primary functions of stretch wrap is to secure pallets and maintain load stability. Amazon, a leading e-commerce giant, relies on stretch wrap to stabilise pallets in their vast warehouses, ensuring product safety and reducing the risk of accidents.

Enhanced Product Protection

Stretch wrap is designed to keep products safe from dust, moisture, and damage during transit and storage. For instance, FreshFizz Beverages relies on stretch wrap to secure and protect its beverages from the production facility to the retail shelves, ensuring that the quality and integrity of the products are preserved.

Cost-Effective Solution

Stretch wrap is a cost-effective solution for businesses, as it reduces the need for additional packaging materials. IKEA, for example, has reduced its packaging costs by using stretch wrap in combination with other innovative packaging methods.

Efficient Storage and Shipping

Stretch wrapping allows for more efficient use of storage and shipping space, as wrapped pallets can be stacked on top of one another. Walmart, a global retail leader, has been able to optimise its supply chain efficiency and reduce its transportation costs by using stretch wrap to consolidate pallets.

Increased Theft and Tamper Resistance

Stretch wrap can deter theft and tampering, as it is difficult to remove or tamper with without leaving visible signs. Apple uses stretch wrap to secure their high-value electronics during transportation, reducing the risk of theft and ensuring product integrity.

Stretch wrap is a critical component in securing pallets and protecting products during transportation and storage. As sustainability becomes a priority, the adoption of sustainable/recyclable stretch wrap solutions will continue to grow, providing a greener alternative without sacrificing the reliability and effectiveness of traditional stretch wrap as it provides an eco-friendly alternative to reduce the carbon footprint, contribute to the circular economy, and promote recyclability.

Silafrica, the leading FMCG packaging manufacturer in Kenya and East Africa, offers recyclable stretch wrap which by adopting, you can significantly improve your business operations and gain a competitive edge in the market.
