[The palletizing process, being the last in the production line, is by no means the least important of all the processes involved in the production and marketing of any product.
\nIts safety depends on the way and the materials used to wrap the goods, but it is also the first image that customers will see when they receive their order.
\nTherefore, choosing the right film for palletizing each product is essential to ensure that the goods are not damaged during storage, transport and unloading. <\/p>\n

More protection for your products<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dust, moisture, shock, static electricity or dirt have little to do to a film-wrapped package.
\nMoreover, in case it is the wrapping itself that is affected by any of these damages, it is easy to replace it with a new one.
\nYou also have the possibility to use films with UVI that will protect the goods against UV damage when you have to store them outdoors.
\nAnd all these advantages add up to a very economical price.
\nMoreover, the consistency of this type of packaging makes the load much more stable, minimizing the chances of packages moving and being damaged during transport.
\nThus, we not only protect the products but also reduce occupational accidents caused by products that have moved during transit. <\/p>\n

Theft-proof wrapping<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Due to its robustness and stretching capacity, the film becomes a very compact envelope that hinders rapid stretching and, therefore, possible theft.
\nIf we opt for a dark film, we will have the additional security that the contents of the packages are hidden. <\/p>\n

Environmental protection<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Being a plastic material, we might think that it is not very advisable to ensure the sustainability of the planet, but the truth is that the vast majority of films used today are fully recyclable.
\nMoreover, these wrappings are manufactured to remain pre-stretched once they are removed from the packaged products, which reduces their annual waste by about 40%. <\/p>\n

Improved product management<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When combined with corner boards, this type of wrapping allows us to stack many more loads on pallets, thus optimizing storage space.
\nIn addition, the film is a great help in stabilizing complex loads or extravagantly shaped packaging. <\/p>\n

More agile and efficient inventories<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The film allows us to neatly stack the packaged products, reducing the need to separate them during inventory counts.
\nThis makes the process much simpler and faster.
\nThis efficiency will be even greater if we use a transparent film, since we can scan the products directly without removing the wrapping.
\nThis simplifies RFI scans and visual checks. \"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Different films for different uses<\/strong><\/h3>\n

All these advantages are unquestionable, but to make the most of them, it is essential to choose the most suitable film and to carry out the entire packaging process with special care.
\nIt is important to obtain a single film that secures the load, that is homogeneous or with protrusions, but it is no less important to arrange the packages in the correct way and to distribute the weight in a balanced way.
\nThroughout the packaging process we must maintain the film tension constantly and at all times, to achieve the effect of a protective shield.
\nAnd the whole process can lose efficiency if we do not choose the right film for the goods to be wrapped.
\nDepending on the applications and characteristics of each product, we will find different types of plastic wrapping, with their peculiar characteristics and advantages. <\/p>\n

Stretch film<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It is the most common type of flexible packaging and is divided into three types: <\/p>\n

    \n
  • In length or Cast estimable film.
    \nThanks to its mono-oriented characteristics, which allow it to stretch along its entire length, it acquires a high resistance to scratches.
    \nIt is applied manually and offers a remarkable transparency.
    \nIt is widely used in a large part of the palletizing chain. <\/li>\n
  • It is applied with high speed orbital wrappers.
    \nIt can be rewound and cut according to the customer’s needs and is available in different sizes, diameters, colors and designs.
    \nIt is ideal for long objects such as doors, windows, profiles, pipes or sofas. <\/li>\n
  • It offers the same extension capacity as the previous ones but, in addition, it can be customized to the customer’s taste, who can choose the size of the reel, color, type of printing or micrages.
    \nIt is highly appreciated in special packaging, as advertising for companies or to provide solutions for non-standard machinery. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Manual pre-stretched film<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Its main advantage is that it allows us to save time when we have to palletize the load.
    \nThe speed of this process is due to the fact that it has been pre-stretched to facilitate a simpler, faster and more efficient application.
    \nIt is especially indicated when the volumes to be wrapped are different and the pallets are medium-sized. <\/p>\n

    Heat shrink film<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Made of polyolefin, it offers a smooth, shiny appearance and great versatility, so it can be applied in all types of packaging machines, whether automatic or manual.
    \nAs it easily adapts to irregularities, it favors the protection of all types of surfaces. <\/p>\n

    Macroperforated film<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    It is a plastic wrapper, provided with large holes, which allow the pallet to be ventilated.
    \nBy facilitating air circulation, it protects the most sensitive products from condensation and spoilage.
    \nIt can be elongated and has a shrink memory to prevent tearing of the holes. \"\"[:]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
