Transporting palletised goods over long distances? Don't forget that stretch wrap

Here at Simpson Packaging (http://www.simpson-packaging.co.uk), we're proud of our record of helping companies like your own to pack and transport goods so much quicker, safer and more cost-effectively. So many of our packaging materials help to do that, such as our cartons,  adhesive tapes and strapping but there's also a certain polythene product that is invaluable to so many firms... stretch wrap.

Stretch wrap might seem quite self-explanatory - it's a plastic film that can be stretched, enabling it to be wrapped around the curves and contours of items. The elasticity of the stretch wrap means that the items are kept tightly bound, so it's unsurprising to see it used so widely throughout industry for the storage and transportation of palletised goods. It would be almost inevitable having multiple items on a pallet that weren't secured together slide around en route to their destination, resulting in damaged or even possible loss.

You might think that your items are sufficiently protected by their own packaging, but all too often, the outer packaging of palletised loads can be severely compromised, and the contents subsequently ruined due to movement and impact or even adverse weather conditions like wind and rain as can be encountered on route or during the loading and unloading process. Your products should always reach your distributor or customer in perfect condition, as even only the occasional incident of physical damage eats into your profitability and can cause your company reputational harm.

The beauty of stretch wrap is that it's such a simple and affordable, yet effective way of tackling these problems. By wrapping stretch wrap around your palletised items, load handling from warehouse to customer or distributor is much more efficient. Above all with the items bound together securely by stretch wrap, there is little risk of products being compromised during the storage and distribution process resulting in a better operation overall.  

Our extensive range of stretch wrap available here at Simpson Packaging removes the need for you to turn to any other packaging supplier, whatever your specific requirements. Maybe you would like to conceal the palletised contents, for example, in which case, our black opaque security film is the ideal choice. Or perhaps you're looking for stretch wrap in mini handy wrap rolls for bundling or flush and extended core hand film? It's all in stock right here, right now in a range of film thicknesses.
