The root cause of about 50% of in-transit product damage is ineffective stretch wrapping.

Effective stretch wrapping is the result of a number of factors all working together to protect a pallet load during shipping. Containment force, load-to-pallet bond, and no dragging film tails are the three keys to effective stretch wrapping any load but the tissue and paper industries present some specific challenges to stretch wrapping.

What Makes the Tissue and Paper Industries Unique?

Cost reduction strategies in these industries have also heavily focused on reducing primary and secondary packaging. This adds an additional challenge to the stretch wrapping process – including crushing and twisting of loads.
