Pallet Wrapping Machine is ideal for multiple purposes such as protecting the load, storage solution and to prevent pilferage. It provides a protective shell around the product. Some of the benefits of using pallet wrapping machine are:
•
Protects products during shipment or transport;
•
To protect from weather conditions (such as rain);
•
Prevents potential damage to the product;
•
Protects products against tampering and eliminates pilferage;
•
Provides information about the contents by creating clear graphic
representations on the wrapper; and
•
Improves supply chain management by reducing inventory numbers at retail
locations (by moving one product into three separate locations such as
warehouse, stores, and).
There may be occasions when you wrap large bulky items that are not able to fit into your Pallet Wrapping Machine. We have compiled some helpful tips that will help you with this situation.
1)
Reduce the height of the package
Using
a saw, cut down two-three inches off of one side of the package. This may
reduce the overall height so it will be easy for it to fit into your pallet
wrapping machine. If there is still too much product for it to fit, try using a
shrink wrap instead. It's similar in appearance to regular plastic but shrinks
when heated up by providing an extra layer of security around your products.
2)
Cut open the package!
Take
a knife and carefully cut open one of the package (from top to bottom). This
will reduce the width of your package so it will be able to fit into your
pallet wrapping machine. We have found that slicing from the corner and then
unfolding is a bit easier.
3)
Use a heat gun or hair dryer!
Use
a heat gun or a hair dryer on low heat setting to carefully warm up opposite
side of package. Be careful not to damage any stickers on the product
packaging. Once you have softened it, try folding it inwards, starting from one
end and slowly working your way till the other end. You may use tape strips on
either side to hold folded flaps together which will make for an easy insertion
into your pallet wrapping machine.
4)
Stack smaller items!
If
you have several smaller items, stack them up on top of each other so it will
fit in your pallet wrapping machine. This is a great way to protect products
against weather conditions and prevent potential damage to the product during
shipment or transport.
5)
Use shrink wrap!
Shrink
wrap can be very helpful in this situation since they are designed specifically
for large bulky items that don't fit into standard plastic wrapping machines.
Shrink wrap compresses the item which reduces its overall size. It is ideal for
multiple purposes such as protecting the load, storage solution and prevents
pilferage by providing protection against tampering.
