Take the guesswork out of your packaging. Free on-site audit, no obligation.
Our packaging audit reviews your materials, machinery and processes to find opportunities to reduce costs, cut waste and increase efficiency. We recommend practical changes based on how your operation actually runs, helping you use the right packaging for your environment.

More wraps do not mean a better load
A pallet can look securely wrapped from the warehouse floor, but that does not always mean the load is properly contained. Many sites are overwrapping pallets to compensate for inefficient film, incorrect machine settings or poor wrap patterns. In many cases, they simply mean more plastic, higher costs and longer wrapping times.
Common issues we find on site
Six of the most frequent
Poor load containment
Loads keep shifting, even after trying different films and suppliers.
Overwrapping pallets
Extra wraps added to make up for underperforming film or incorrect settings.
Rising costs
Film usage, roll changeovers and machine maintenance all climbing.
Machine downtime
Frequent stoppages and pre-stretch that is not performing as it should.
No supplier reporting
Little or no visibility of actual film usage or performance.
Pressure to cut plastic
A mandate to reduce, without accurate data or a clear starting point.
How do we conduct a packaging audit, and what is our Cut & Weigh?
A Cut & Weigh is an on-site test that measures how much stretch wrap is being used on each pallet and what it is costing you. We wrap a pallet using your current film and settings, test the load containment force, then cut off and weigh the film. We repeat the same process using our recommended film and settings.
This gives you a clear comparison of film usage, cost per pallet, load containment and potential annual savings, including how much plastic could be removed from your operation.
Wrap, test containment, cut, weigh. Twice, side by side, on your own pallets.
The Cut & Weigh process broken down
Five steps-
01
Assessment
We review your current film, machine settings, wrap patterns and containment force to build a baseline of exactly what's being used today.
-
02
Cut & Weigh on-site
We wrap a pallet your way, then the same pallet with our recommended film and settings, measuring load force and film weight for both.
-
03
Calculate & compare
Using your real pallet volumes, we project the annual cost, film usage and waste difference between your current setup and ours.
-
04
Recommendations
You get a written report: film type, machine settings, and where automation or a machine change would add further savings.
-
05
Ongoing monitoring
Monthly reviews and usage tracking keep the numbers honest, so savings hold up long after the audit is done.
One site. 45% cheaper, 62% less waste.
These are the actual numbers from a Cut & Weigh on a customer site: same pallets, same throughput, one film swap. On the left, what they were using. On the right, what we recommended.
