Where Does Hand Stretch Film Work Best?
Hand-applied stretch film is an ideal solution for lower volume operations. Using the appropriate stretch film will help reduce damage, keep items clean and organized. If you're wrapping more than 30 pallets, or loads, a day, it may be best to consider investing in stretch wrapping equipment to help you increase your productivity.
Hand wrap stretch film is widely used across various industries to secure goods for storage or transit including:
- E-commerce fulfillment
- Food and Beverage
- Manufacturing
- Logistics and Warehousing
