Pro Tips
Here are several Pro Tips that will help you optimize plastic wrapping boxes for transport.
- A standard load of boxes that weighs less than 2,000lbs shouldn’t need more than ~3 revolutions for the top and bottom wrap settings. Â
- Perform an initial test wrapping to ensure how fast (or slow) you need to go for subsequent pallets.
- Extra top revolutions can help provide more strength for unstable or top-heavy loads.
- Once you’re finished wrapping, double-check the bottom wrap to ensure it’s securely attached to the pallet.
- Unless you have fragile boxes, try initially setting the tension point at 20%. Over time, you’ll get a better sense of how to optimize the wrapping cycle to optimize shrink wrap usage.
