Scrub the bathroom and kitchen floors, reorganize closets and donate things you no longer use.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also a good time to clean and reorganize your warehouse and loading dock area. One way to do this is to check your machinery for maintenance issues.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re looking over your equipment, don\u2019t forget to check your stretch wrapper. A lack of preventive maintenance is a major cause of downtime, so this is a good opportunity\u00a0to make sure your machine is running smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>For example, listen to your stretch wrapper when it runs. If you hear any squeaking or grinding, find out why and fix it.<\/p>\n<p>Inspect any belts\u2014usually those that drive film delivery system up and down and under the turntable\u2014to make sure they\u2019re not fraying. If you need a replacement belt, call up the manufacturer\u2019s parts department and get a new one shipped (good manufacturers will ship parts by the next day).<\/p>\n<p>Performing periodic\u00a0maintenance check on your stretch wrapper is important. But so is checking to make sure your stretch wrapper is set up to wrap effectively.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing if your load is safe to ship isn\u2019t complicated. It\u2019s all focused around containment force, which is the cumulative squeezing force the film puts on the load. Containment force is the best defense against shipping damage.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to know how much containment force your load needs and to make sure to ship with at least that amount. If you are unsure of how much containment force is necessary for your loads, you can download our recommendation chart <a href=\"\/\/offers.lantech.com\/dont-guess-get-your-free-copy-of-lantechs-containment-force-recommendations?__hssc=204571151.1.1461338779965&amp;__hstc=204571151.8f53e9285fe367b2e0ee14bfad750f71.1455642822836.1461246128220.1461338779965.149&amp;__hsfp=4234245308&amp;hsCtaTracking=5e13ed33-cce2-41ff-96f1-ae2fcae104b6%7C8b548645-a494-4fa1-a371-07d91c5f990c&amp;region=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>By checking your machine every year you can reduce the likelihood of any disastrous maintenance issues that might arise unexpectedly.
