For the protection and safety of palletized goods, nothing can beat stretch film. But the most important question isn't necessarily if you should use stretch film, but rather which type is best for your application. When it comes to manual versus machine stretch wrap film options for businesses in need of secure wrapping, the decision will affect efficiency, costs and load integrity. Shanghai Pudi Packaging Materials Co., Ltd., is a professional manufacturer of all types of stretch films. Our products are widely used in modern industry. Knowing the main differences will get you to the point of where and how to tweak you packaging processes.
Understanding Manual Stretch Film
Manual Stretch Film is designed for manual pallet wrapping of the load. This film is known for its hand tear ability enabling workers to tear the film easily with their hands and not having to hunt around for something to cut it with, getting the job done faster in lower volume environment. It may have good clarity so users can quickly identify packaged products although the containment force is about the only thing it does well when it comes to keeping loads stable while in transit and in storage. Hand pallet wrapper is the answer Manual stretch film is not only more cost effective, but it's also faster and more efficient And because you're using a fraction of the amount of film as you would with a machine, your load will be by far more secure. Its adaptability and convenience ensure that it is an essential commodity in a variety of logistics systems.
Machine Stretch Film Benefits
Compare that to our machine stretch film which is designed for the advanced user of heavy loads. This film is designed to take the abuse from stretch wrap machines. Often developed as a thicker material, it has better puncture and tear resistance than manual stretch. This increased resistance to breakage enables a greater pre-stretch, so less stretch film is used during application with more footage per roll, this significantly contributes to reducing film usage. In plants where you have consistent operation all day long with the same size pallets, machine stretch will be your best option. It is designed to perform, evolve and grow even in the most complex packing processes: an automatic system that ensures smooth and tight rolls at all times with minimum operator intervention thanks to its ability to cut maintenance and labor costs, make higher performing operations or reduce time.
Choosing the Best One for Your Company
Ultimately, choosing between manual and machine stretch film will come down to your unique operational needs. Think about your daily pallet volume, how consistent your load shapes and sizes will be, and what you are aiming to achieve over time. Hand film provides versatility and is a low cost solution for all applications. Thin machine film the upfront cost of equipment, but is extremely efficient and cost-effective for high volume users. Shanghai Pudi Packaging Materials Co., Ltd honed its key range of products with this concept in mind. Our machine and manual stretch films come in high performance options that will protect your products during shipment or storing so you can operate your business as usual, whether shrink wrap is needed for storage or elongation. Only by gauging your requirements can you choose the film that actually pushes your budget and performance limits.
