How a Stretch Wrapping Machine Can Save You Money!
If you’re shipping out products on pallets and stretch wrapping them by hand there is a chance you could save money by using a Stretch Wrapper to automate your operation. Although there is no set number of skids you would need to wrap per day to have a machine show a return on investment, typically you will start to see a ROI when you are wrapping around 50 or more skids by hand per day.
The money a Stretch Wrapper will save you comes from:
Stretching film tighter thus using less stretch film
Having your team members spend less time wrapping skids by hand (time is money)
“Ok, I want one, but how do I show purchasing it’s worth it?”
This is a question I get asked a lot and it’s actually one that’s very easy to answer. Machines can be set to always wrap the same way so there are formulas to show how much money a machine would save you. This cost analysis can be easily done by a packaging specialist and may make investing in a machine a no brainer. I had a company I was working with who wanted a machine but didn’t think they could afford it. When we did the cost analysis they saw leasing to own a machine would save them hundreds of dollars per month as soon the machine hit their floor. This eased any concerns they had of investing in a machine.

With the heavy-duty steel construction and the best warranty in the industry this machine will still be the best investment you have made a decade from now. It’s also amazingly easy to install and use. Set up just requires you to plug it in, put the film in the machine and press a few buttons. From then on out all you have to do to wrap a pallet is set the pallet on the base, and press the green button. If you want a fully automatic machine you will have to invest more up front, but you can have a machine that only requires you to set skids on a conveyor belt. The machine will move them onto the platform, wrap them, cut the film, and send them down the next conveyor belt without a human doing a thing. It’s so easy that a caveman can do it!!!

It
has been over three years since the corrugated industry has had an
increase so it should not be a total surprise, and I don’t want to be
guilty of sounding a false or premature alarm, but it presently looks
like an increase is inevitable and imminent.
