Boost Productivity with FROMM’s Advanced Stretch Wrapping Solutions

Efficient load containment is a vital part of any modern packaging operation. This is why investing in reliable, efficient stretch wrapping equipment can have a massive impact on the performance and output of your operation. Let’s see why.

High-quality stretch wrapping helps stabilise palletised goods, protects products from dust and moisture, and reduces the risk of damage during transport. At FROMM Packaging Systems, we provide innovative equipment that delivers consistent results while helping businesses improve productivity and reduce operating costs.

A Complete Range for Every Application

No two production environments are the same, which is why FROMM offers several stretch wrapping solutions to suit different throughput requirements and load types.

Specialised Stretch Wrappers

FROMM supplies orbital and vertical systems for products that require specialised handling. Orbital machines are well suited to long or awkward items, while vertical models provide an efficient solution where floor space is limited. Both options help improve productivity by delivering precise and dependable load protection.

These stretch wrappers are ideal for businesses handling oversized or irregular pallet loads. Rather than moving the pallet, the mobile unit travels around it, making this solution perfect for facilities where flexibility is important.

These machines provide:

Consistent film application
Excellent load stability
Easy operation and programming
Reduced manual handling

Their mobility also makes them suitable for operations with multiple palletising stations.

Semi-Automatic Stretch Wrappers

For medium-volume production, semi-automatic models offer an excellent combination of performance and affordability. Operators position the load while the machine completes the wrapping cycle with consistent tension and film overlap.

Key benefits include:

Improved efficiency over manual methods
Reliable and repeatable results
Simple controls for quick operator training
Durable construction for everyday industrial use

For greater flexibility, FROMM’s robot stretch wrappers provide a mobile solution that moves around pallets rather than requiring each individual pallet to be moved.

High-Performance Stretch Film

The performance of any machine depends on the quality of the film it uses. FROMM supplies premium stretch film engineered for outstanding elasticity, puncture resistance and load retention. When paired with FROMM equipment, the film maximises efficiency while reducing material consumption and ensuring secure transport.

Protective Packaging Solutions: Why Airpads Continue to Lead the Way

Selecting the right protective packaging solutions is essential for businesses that transport or store products. While there are many options available, not every system delivers the same combination of performance, efficiency and cost savings.

Among today’s most popular protective packaging solutions choices, airpads have become a preferred option across numerous industries because of their versatility and practical advantages.

Where Airpads Are Used

FROMM’s airpad systems are suitable for protecting products in a wide variety of sectors, including:

Automotive spare parts
Computers and electronics
Cosmetics
Lighting products
Machinery
Furniture
Pharmaceuticals
Software
General mail order and e-commerce

Their adaptability makes them suitable for protecting products of different sizes, shapes and weights.

What Makes Airpads Stand Out?

There are several reasons why businesses increasingly choose airpads over other protective packaging solutions.

Outstanding Versatility

Airpads can be produced in different sizes and inflated to varying pressures, allowing them to cushion products or fill empty spaces inside cartons. This flexibility makes them suitable for countless applications.

Excellent Impact Resistance

Depending on the film used, a single airpad can absorb impacts exceeding 1,000 N. This helps reduce the likelihood of damage during handling, storage and transportation.

Lightweight Design

Each airpad consists of approximately 99% air and only 1% film. As a result, they weigh significantly less than paper-based protective packaging solutions alternatives and around half as much as many loose-fill materials, helping to reduce shipping weights.

Reduced Waste

Because very little material is used, less waste is generated after use. Airpads can also be reused and recycled, making them an efficient option for businesses looking to minimise material consumption.

Antistatic Properties

Sensitive electronic equipment benefits from the antistatic characteristics of airpads, making them an excellent choice for computers, electronic components and similar products.

Lower Operating Costs

Using less material, occupying less storage space and reducing shipment weight all contribute to lower overall operating expenses throughout the supply chain.

FROMM’s Airpad Systems

As a global leader in protective packaging solutions, FROMM supplies both high-quality airpad films and compact machines that produce cushions on demand. These systems are portable, simple to operate and do not require a dedicated operator, allowing businesses to improve efficiency without increasing labour requirements.
