How Stretch Wrappers can improve your bottom line! The benefits of using an automated stretch wrapper may depend upon many factors such as the floor real-estate space available for stretch wrapping, throughput requirements of the packaging operation and type of load to be unitized.
Businesses with smaller stretch film packaging capacity needs (with as little as 15 to 20 loads a day) will benefit from using a semi-automatic stretch wrapper. They can expect
- Lower labour costs resulting from the additional efficiencies brought on by automating
- Lower packaging material costs.
- Lower film usage over hand wrapping.
- Lower expenses resulting from shipping damages
Larger packaging operations using fully
automatic stretch wrappers will accrue the same advantages as smaller operations but to a much greater degree. Additionally fully automatic packaging equipment
- Increased packaging line throughput.
- Stretch wrapping operation will require less floor space for higher throughput speeds.
- Ability to meet demands of just in time (JIT) operations.
In the final analysis the decision to automate your stretch wrapping operation comes down initial capital outlay for the equipment purchase/lease versus the long term financial gains.
