Pallet packing with stretch film is usually done with a stretch pallet machine, but if the number of your pallets is small or if you are looking to reduce the costs of packing your pallets, buying a stretch pallet machine is not logical and it is better to Manually screw your stretch pallets. In this article, we will learn how to wrap stretch film around the pallet, which is done in 6 easy and safe steps.
You must follow the following steps carefully to control the costs of packing and wrapping the stretch around the pallet manually:
The first and most important step for safe and healthy packaging of products is to choose a healthy and suitable pallet, so that the products are not damaged during handling and transportation, otherwise, not paying attention to the health of the pallet will cause the loss of products and incur additional costs.
It will be to you. The pallet you choose, be sure that it is completely healthy and without breakage or chipping and can withstand the weight of the load for a long time. Its dimensions should be such that the products can be placed on it without any problems and be in harmony with each other.
After choosing the right pallet, you should place your products in an orderly manner and close to each other on the pallet so that they have the least movement after closing. If there is a space to move the load after packing, it will cause the products to shake and move, causing the pallet packing to loosen and there is a risk of losing the goods.
If you can’t eliminate the empty space between the products, be sure to use anti-slip layers to prevent the movement of the products and layer your products. Continuous and layered packaging of products increases the stability of goods during transportation. Try to place heavier and bigger goods on the bottom of the pallet and place lighter items on top of them to reduce the risk of damage to the goods during transportation.
After choosing the pallet and placing the goods on top of each other, determine how to pack your pallet and choose a manual stretch film because the manual stretch film requires less effort for packing and creates more tensile and holding force. In addition, if your products need air, be sure to use a coating with the possibility of air ventilation. Separate 10 cm from the beginning of the roll and tie about 20 cm from the end of the film with a rope and pass it inside and around the corner of the pallet and tie tightly to secure the plastic cover.
At this stage, to wrap the stretch around the pallet, you must wrap the stretch around the pallet at least 4 times to create a proper tension around the pallet to make sure that the load is completely stable and stable and prevent the goods from falling during handling. When packing, be sure to stretch the corners and around the pallet well.
Stretch from the bottom of the pallet to the top, making sure that each layer completely overlaps the previous layer. The more the layers overlap, the tighter the packaging. Also, to tighten things up, when you get to the top, stretch wrap another round from top to bottom. After finishing the work and to be sure, remove the stretch from the roll and tape its end to the pallet so that the nylon packing does not separate.
After completing the packaging and at the end of the work, be sure to check the strength and stability of the packaging so that there are no problems with the cargo during handling and transportation. You can press the upper products of the pallet for this: if the packaging was not loose and the pallet was not crooked and messed up, there will be no problem for the products during transportation.
