Your Ultimate Guide to Product Protection

Ensuring product protection during transit, storage and handling is crucial for manufacturers and distributors alike. Damage along the supply chain not only leads to costly returns and replacements but also dents brand reputation and customer trust. Effective protection protects goods from impact, shock, vibration and shifting, helping companies cut costs and deliver goods safely to their destinations.

Why Protective Solutions Matters

Good protective packaging minimises the risk of damage due to movement or external forces. Without appropriate safeguarding, products may arrive scratched, broken or compromised, triggering additional handling steps and customer dissatisfaction. Across logistics, e-commerce, electronics, glassware, pharmaceuticals and industrial parts, product protection is a fundamental requirement for operational efficiency and quality assurance.

FROMM’s Protective Solutions: Engineered for Performance

FROMM Packaging Systems delivers innovative protective solutions designed to meet diverse needs, from delicate items to heavier goods. These systems combine efficiency, adaptability and sustainability, enabling businesses to achieve reliable product protection while streamlining packing processes.

Airpad Film and Machines

FROMM’s airpad technologies generate lightweight, inflatable pads on demand. The film is transformed into air-filled cushions with excellent shock absorption to protect fragile products from impact in transit. These cushions adapt to irregular shapes and provide superior protection without bulky materials. The range of films available – standard, barrier and airpad paper – offers solutions from everyday cushioning to long-term storage protection, with recyclable and eco-friendly options that align with sustainability goals.

 

FROMM’s airpad machines such as the AP100, AP150 and AP502 are designed for varying packing needs:

 

  • AP100 caters to smaller decentralised stations with easy, ergonomic operation and fast film loading.
  • AP150 produces cushions at high speed, ideal for medium-volume packing.
  • AP502 delivers industrial-scale production with multiple programmed cushion sizes, perfect for large operations requiring flexible, on-demand cushioning.

Paperpad Machines

In addition to airpad systems, FROMM offers paperpad solutions that turn recyclable paper into crumpled void fill cushions. This option is especially valuable for businesses prioritising sustainability and circular use of materials, while still achieving effective protective cushioning around products.

Benefits of FROMM’s Protective Packaging Solutions

  • Superior shock resistance and cushioning to guard goods during shipping and handling.
  • On-demand production reduces storage and waste, lowering packaging costs overall.
  • Sustainability features like recyclable films and eco-friendly paper pads support environmental goals.

Plastic Wrap for Pallets: Discover FROMM’s Advanced Wrapping Solutions

Plastic Wrap for Pallets: Discover FROMM’s Advanced Wrapping Solutions

Using plastic wrap for pallets is a proven method to stabilise, protect and secure goods for storage and transit. This lightweight yet durable film envelops palletised loads to keep items tightly bound, reducing the risk of shifting, damage or contamination during handling and transport. Whether you operate a distribution centre, manufacturing facility or e-commerce hub, proper pallet wrapping enhances efficiency, safety and product integrity throughout your supply chain.

 

The Function and Value of Plastic Wrap for Pallets

Plastic stretch film adheres to itself and stretches around palletised goods, creating a strong but flexible outer layer. This action improves load stability, preventing toppling or shifting when forklifts move pallets or when they are stacked in trucks or warehouses. Plastic wrap also offers environmental protection by shielding goods from dust, moisture and dirt, helping products arrive in perfect condition. For many industries, this type of protective wrapping contributes to lower claims for damage-related loss and enhanced inventory control.

 

FROMM’s Semi-Automatic Stretch Wrapping Machines

FROMM’s semi-automatic stretch wrapping machines enable efficient and controlled application of plastic wrap for pallets in medium-volume operations. These machines, such as the FS500 and FS550 series, provide adjustable pre-stretch options and multiple programmable wrapping cycles via user-friendly control panels. Operators can tailor top and bottom wraps to suit different pallet heights and load types, ensuring the film is applied consistently and tightly. The robust design of semi-automatic units supports a wide range of loads and is suitable for logistics, warehousing and manufacturing settings where reliability and adaptability are key.

 

FROMM’s Robot Stretch Wrappers

For higher throughput or flexible wrapping locations, FROMM’s robot stretch wrapping machines offer mobile, semi-automatic solutions that move to the pallet instead of vice versa. Models in the FR3xx and FR300 series can wrap up to around 180–220 pallets per full battery charge and include control panels with multiple programmes for speed, top and bottom wrap counts, and film tension adjustments.

Benefits of Using FROMM Wrapping Systems

  • Improved load security: Tight, consistent wrapping reduces product shifting and damage risk.
  • Increased efficiency: Machines wrap faster and more evenly than manual methods.
  • Reduced labour: Automated or semi-automatic operation minimises the physical strain of hand wrapping.
  • Customisable programmes: Operators can set multiple wrap cycles for different pallet types.
  • Versatility: Both semi-automatic and robot systems suit a wide range of pallet sizes and environments.
