Gloucestershire-based pallet wrapping company, Golden Valley Pallet Wrap Specialists Ltd (GVPS), is offering a personalised ‘packaging health check’ service to help businesses wrap their palletised loads as cost efficiently as possible.
The service sets out to provide strategic, obligation-free and impartial advice on achieving the most effective pallet wrapping techniques.
Golden Valley contend that many companies are wasting literally thousands of pounds per year by using the wrong type of pallet wrap or inappropriate or poorly maintained pallet wrapping machinery – or a combination of all three.
There are a number of common pallet-wrapping related problems which will add considerably to a company’s supply chain overheads.
For example loads can become unstable during transit and move while on the pallet or, sometimes, the film breaks on the bottom of the pallet during the wrapping process, in many cases causing the pallet to spill during transit. Both of these problems are likely to be the result of using the wrong type of film, GVPS say.
“Ensuring that a palletised load is properly secured before it leaves the factory, warehouse or distribution centre is, an essential aspect of any efficient logistics operation”, says Martyn Sumner, managing director, Golden Valley Pallet Wrap Specialists Ltd (GVPS).
“It is also a major cost, so it is perhaps surprising that in today’s cost conscious business environment, the price of wrapping a pallet load of goods is often overlooked. In fact, warehouse managers often have no idea what it is costing them to wrap a pallet,” he adds.
GVPS can apply a ‘Cost Calculator’ formula that identifies precisely how much a company is paying to wrap each pallet that leaves its store.
Armed with this information, a company is in a position to analyse more cost efficient options that will bring real and lasting bottom-line benefits.
GVPS is the exclusive UK distributor of the Carbon and Alloy ranges of pallet wrap film which deliver significant cost savings when compared to any other hand- or machine-applied pallet wrapping film currently available.
