Thought about a Stretch Wrapper Lately?

Packsmart Blog, Super User

Today it seems that all companies are tasked with "doing more with less".  We all know what that means!  As a packaging company that has been selling equipment for over 30 years, we have found that many companies are addressing this need through automation.  The word "automation" can sometimes be associated with "expensive".  This is certainly not always the case.  Although some fully-integrated automatic systems are certainly "expensive" (and worth every penny!), we have found that most companies just need some new basic equipment that is relatively low-cost.  For example, many companies manually stretch wrap pallets every day.  The process of manually stretch wrapping a pallet is physically demanding.....especially if you wrap over 20 per day!  In addition to the physical demands, it is time-consuming and expensive.  These drawbacks can be addressed with an automated stretch wrapper.  An entry level stretch wrapper is only about $6,000.  What a great investment!  Not only can you do the work in half the time, but the wrapping of each pallet will be secure and consistent.  In addition to that, your stretch film costs will be drastically reduced due to the machine stretching the film to higher levels.  Many stretch wrappers have a life expectancy of over 15 years!  Of course, this is only one example.  Our customers have benefited from automation by purchasing case erectors, case tapers, strapping machines, palletizers, etc......where do you need to automate?
