Stretch Wrapping Bottles
Stretch wrapping pallets of bottles by hand often leads to damage and worker injuries caused by repetitive motion. All it takes is one poor hand wrap to send the contents of a pallet crashing down to the floor.

Pro Tips
There are several Pro Tips that will help you optimize wrapping wire spools and unstable loads for transport.
- A great starting point is a cycle with 2-3 top and bottom rotations with a film tension of around 50% for average pallet loads.
- On initial setup, try slower speeds and less tension, and work your way up to optimize cycle time and load containment.
- If you have sharp edges on the product, try lower film tension and rotation speed or consider a thicker, more puncture-resistant film.
- If you have an outlier product at the top, try increasing the overwrap delay or “flanging” time along with top rotations to make sure you get the film band high enough to catch the top layer.
- If you have empty spaces or voids, try either increasing the flanging time or adjusting the fixed height setting available on the Model 1100
- Use a roping device and set reinforcement extra height to lock in.
- Variable tension allows the wrapper to start with lower tension at bottom of the pallet to put a layer of film over the sharp edges. Then increase tension on the way down to secure the load.
