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.
