Stretch film is an amazingly popular tool in so many industries. Western Packaging is here to share five different ways stretch film is utilized in businesses and why it is a must-have! When you want to keep your goods protected in the safest and most secure way possible, stretch film is the answer.
1. To Protect Your Products and Goods
Have you ever shipped something only for the elements to destroy the box it was in? Or maybe you store your goods in a warehouse or storage facility that is not climate controlled? These are just some of the ways stretch film can help you and your business.
Keeping your goods dry, free from pest, and other destructive possibilities are major for so many reasons. Your goal is to deliver or use a product in its intended condition so that your customers receive what they ask for and your supplies are ready for use at any time. This saves you time, money, and your reputation with clients.
2. Wrapping Irregularly Shaped Items
Irregularly shaped items can really be a pain to fit in boxes or any sort of packaging for that matter. These oddly shaped goods still need protection and stretch film is the perfect way to do it. Because it molds to the shape of whatever you are wrapping up you don’t have to worry about finding a box that fits your triangular shaped product.
Every square inch is wrapped by a machine to perfectly cover and protect. You will find that stretch film will become your best friend in situations like this.
3. Make The Most of Your Space
Stretch film helps to cut waste and space in your business, factory, or storage facility. If you can recall back to those famous bags that you sucked the air out of with a vacuum, they made a bulky comforter take up only a quarter of the space. Well, the same principle applies with stretch film.
With some products, the film can actually reduce the space an item takes up by forcing the air out. With harder less pliable goods it removes the space a box may take up. Stretch film allows you to wrap and protect an item while not taking up any extra space than is necessary.
4. Saves Time Allowing For Greater Productivity
Stretch film is wrapped with a high-tech floor mounted wrapping system that allows for the perfect wrap each time. Hand wrapping is not as efficient and leaves a lot of room for human error. The wrapping machine guarantees that the perfect amount of film is used and that there is no shortage or excess of plastic.
It promises a perfect wrap with no wasted time or energy. This then allows for you and your team to work on things that really matter and need human ingenuity. We know that your long-term productivity is bound to increase by this one simple change.
5. It Saves Your Business Money
If this hasn’t come to mind yet with the first four reasons you need to have stretch film in your business than here it is. When you are using less packaging, saving room, allowing for greater productivity, do you know what happens? Yes, that is absolutely right, you save your company money.
What better reason to start using stretch film in your industry than to save you money? It is definitely a win-win all around that cannot be denied. When you are trying to reach production goals and your team cannot keep this up, this is by far one of the best ways to pick up the pace so that you not only save money but make more money.
