You save it\u2026especially when it comes to labor costs.\"\"
\nPeople are expensive, but they\u2019re worth it, as long as their time is spent in productive activities.\u00a0 Stretch wrapping by hand, watching a load spin while it\u2019s being wrapped, and climbing on and off a forklift to cut film or press \u201cstart\u201d don\u2019t qualify.\u00a0 Neither does the time it takes to move a load from the wrapper to a freestanding platform scale.\u00a0 All of that is time wasted and money lost.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s semi-automatic stretch wrappers can include time-saving features that will free your people up for more important tasks and save you money.<\/p>\n

For example, a machine that automatically cuts the film at the end of the wrap cycle saves about 30 seconds per load, compared to an employee climbing off and back on a forklift.\u00a0 Over five years, wrapping 50 loads a day, that one feature can save you over $7,500 based on a labor cost of $14 per hour.\u00a0 If the machine also attaches the film<\/a>, the time saved goes to a full two minutes per load, and a savings of more than $30,000 over the same five years.<\/p>\n

Some stretch wrappers have scales built into the turntable, so you can wrap and weigh at the same time.\u00a0 That means you don\u2019t have to move the load from the wrapper to a freestanding platform scale<\/a>. That saves another 30 seconds to a minute and a half for each load\u2026and an additional $7,500 to $22,500 in labor costs over five years.<\/p>\n

What will your employees do with all that extra time?\u00a0 They can do something productive \u2013 like load another pallet, print shipping labels, or complete bill-of-lading reports.<\/p>\n

The bottom line is that time and labor-saving features in stretch wrappers don\u2019t cost you money; they save you money.\u00a0 They are investments that offer very good returns.<\/p>\n
