Motorised Independent Robots (MiR) make your employees more efficient by allowing them to focus on higher-value activities, while shortening lead time and reducing the risk of bottlenecks. They optimise safety and reduce risk of injury by reducing the need of forklift usage to move pallets amongst people.

Why is it ideal for your business?

• Cheaper than labour
• Dedicated means of carriage with in built safety features
• Removes the need for labour to move products around the workshop
• It can work 24 hours a day
• It can be adapted to different function like carrying, towing and lifting.
• It can move collaborative robots (cobots) to different work locations.
• Can help reduce the amount of conveyors for transporting pallets and components.

Collaborative robots are designed to increase productivity and reduce labour. They can also work safely alongside operatives without guarding or they can work independently and unsupervised.

Good packaging is not just confined to the work of your pallet wrapping machine. A factor that might not seem so important but plays a vital role in customer experience is the packaging of your product. A Pallet Wrapping machine ensures your products arrive safely and are protected throughout their stressful journey. Pallet wrapping machines are a cost effective way of ensuring your products reach your customer in pristine a condition.

Here are some essentials to keep in mind whilst designing the packaging for your product.

1. Brand Logo: Make sure your brand logo is printed on the insides of the package for that strong branding presence, which in turn encourages customer to choose your company again. Did you know that pallet stretch wrap can also be printed with your logo; there are several colours and black for security.
2. Convenient Opening: Provide an easy-to-open package for convenience. A simple tear strip or zig-zag opening should do the trick.
3. Personalisation: Print a short personal message on the box. This shows that you are customer-friendly and care about their needs.
4. Sealing: Apart from the pallet, machine sealing the box outside, a self-sealing tape on the outside of the box that not only holds the box together, but also keeps those messy-looking taped seal away is a good choice.
5. Extra Adhesives: Provide an extra seal that makes it easier to repack the box, in case the customer needs to return the product.
6. Easier Assembly: Crash-lock bases are a great way to save time during the erection of your carton. They are easy to assemble. You can now also have self- adhesive flaps on your cartons…
7. Recycling: Make the package recyclable. This is an environment-friendly option that allows the customer to recycle packaging instead of sending it to a waste fill site. It improves their green credentials and reduces packaging waste returns
8. Label Indicators: Print label indicators on the package. This makes it convenient for packers to know where they should paste the labels.
9. Security: The design of the box should be tamper-proof and stress-resistant. Leave no room for gaps in the package for meddling with the product or the package itself.

With these points at hand, you can now ensure not only enhanced customer satisfaction and a high chance of repeat business, but also a higher standard of quality and security for your product.

What things you might know about pallet wrapping costs.

20 years ago machine pallet stretch wrap (23 micron) was known as monofilm. Its stretch capability was only 10 to 15%. Gradually monofilm was replaced by 2 or 3 layered films. The stretch ability was naturally increased to 100%. Today we have multi-layered films allowing a 23 micron film to stretch up to 250%. This means that one meter of film on the roll can be stretched to 3.5 meters for wrapping the loaded pallet which is cost effective.

As the extrusion technology (for making the stretch films) has developed, it’s possible to find thinner 17mcr films (with 7 layers) stretching up to 250%.

This was the situation till about 18 months ago when a new generation of extruders appeared. These extruders have allowed a 12 mcr film (with 34 layers) to be produced and to be stretched up to 300% but not all of them.

Most of these films are extremely strong in their stretched state and can equal the current day 23mcr film with their load retention capabilities. This is what holds the load on to the pallet during transportation.

Pallet wrapping machines, on the other hand have always been able to over stretch films.  So they have been designed down and geared to the development of the stretch film capability that was available on the day.

Which means in today’s market, there is an assortment of old pallet wrapping machines grouped as (1) mechanical brake, (2) older power stretch machines with stretch ratios ranging from 100 to 250%, (3) new generation stretch machines with 300 to 400% stretching capabilities along with sophisticated pallet wrapping programs to minimise wrapping costs

1. By not matching the correct film to the machines stretching ability or vice versa will carry the penalty of an unnecessary expensive cost of wrapping the pallet.

2. Blindly buying a machine, without knowing what the latest technological smart films can offer, will turn out be an expensive mistake in lost opportunities to savings on cost.

3. Changing from a 23mcr film, being stretched to 250% to the very best of the 12mcr films, stretching 300% can offer savings of up to 40% on the residential wrapping cost.

We offer a free onsite machine and stretch film audit to identify your current wrapping costs and explore with you the very best opportunities for future cost savings.

Please email in any questions regarding machine/film or just call us to discuss the cost of your current wrapping operations and we shall be happy to answer them. It’s free of charge without any obligations.

Customer experience begins with the packing of the product.

It’s important to ensure that the package is safe and cannot be tampered with. You have got to ensure your products are packed safe and at an affordable price to ensure big savings for your business. Here are nine simple ways to reduce your packaging costs whilst still being efficient.

1. Training: If you have a manual packaging system, you need to ensure that your team is well-trained. Lack of training could mean too much tape, messy-looking seals, and easy-to-tamper with packaging.
2. Maintenance: Factors like the stretch ratio and wear-and-tear of your automatic wrapping machine need to be checked on a regular basis. Necessary maintenance needs to be done to keep your system efficient and cost-effective.
3. Keeping A Check: You need to keep a check on the equipment you have for packing. An upgraded version of the automatic pallet wrapping machine from pallet wrappers will help your business grow.
4. Eliminate Those Non-essentials: Additional packaging is usually done to hide a flaw. Get to the root of the flaw, fix it, and eliminate those unnecessary extra packaging items.
5. Use High-quality Wraps: Cheap packaging material might seem like the easy answer. However, you could end up using twice, or maybe more, the amount of packaging material you need.
6. Benchmarks: Set benchmarks at regular intervals to make sure you are working efficiently all the time.
7. Reviews: Setting up regular reviews helps you stay up to date with newer and more cost-effective packaging materials and machines, which not only enhances your savings, but also the efficiency of your business.
8. Save That Waste: Packaging waste, when recycled, can add to your savings. So think twice before you throw anything away.
9. Cost-in-use: If you keep in mind the cost-in-use through all your purchases, you could reduce the price-per-unit expenses. This can help save your business time and money. 

With simple steps like these you can reduce the cost to your business and enhance its overall efficiency.
