Industrial Packaging
Tips from Richard Clarke Jr., Director – Industrial Packaging Division
- Use pre-stretched stretch wrap which provides the same holding power as traditional stretch wrap for about one third of the cost.
- Use 15” wide stretch wrap rather than 18” wide wrap. Most workers overwrap excessively with 18” when 15” does the same job for 10-15% less in cost.
- For consistently sized skids, consider a relatively inexpensive semi-automatic stretch wrapper. The operator can drop the skid, tie a corner, punch a button, and go. This improves efficiency by 200%.
- Use banding film (narrow rolls of stretch wrap) for small or light jobs to save money.
- Use corrugated paper rolls to protect furniture and other valuables instead of bubble wrap. This product works just as well and is much less expensive.
