A productive warehouse relies on efficient labor and material use. Outgoing shipments are often overlooked when trying to increase efficiency but stretch wrapping pallets and industrial loads by hand is an easy way to waste time and money. Stretch wrap machines dramatically improve efficiencies within the warehouse environment. Using a stretch wrap machine to wrap a shipment can cut wrapping times in half, doubling your productivity.
Hand Wrapping
There are numerous downsides to hand wrapping:
- Hand wrapping is inconsistent, depending on the worker. Some workers may wrap too loosely, while others will wrap too tight.
- Hand wrapping is wasteful. Workers tend to believe more plastic wrap will lead to more strength and a better wrapped load.
- Hand wrapping is bad for workers. Repetitive motion may become a strain on a worker's neck, back, or arms, which may lead to injury.
- Hand wrapping should be reserved for small shipments. For those shipping needs, Hand applied stretch wrap comes in a variety of sizes.
Stretch Wrapping
There are plenty of upsides to machine wrapping:
- Stretch wrap machines apply stretch wrap efficiently and consistently. Our machines use state of the art technology to measure the size and shape of each shipment, so you never overwrap.
- Stretch Wrap Machines are also capable of "pre-stretch", a process that maximizes surface area, stretching plastic wrap to 250% its original size.
- Less wrap means more savings!
- Fewer injuries. Using a stretch wrap machine instead of hand wrapping prevents injuries and saves time.

Machine stretch wrap is available in a variety of widths and gauges. Stretch Wrap Machines come in a variety of models and Greeno Supply has the right machine to fit your needs.
Low Profile Stretch Wrapping Machines
Low profile stretch wrap machines are low to the floor, with an available ramp option. This machine is great for use with “walkies” or forklifts to move loads on and off the machine.
High Profile Stretch Wrapping Machines
High profile stretch wrap machines are about 9 inches off the floor and are designed for forklifts to move loads on and off the wrapper. Instead of a turntable, rotary and mobile robotic stretch wrap machines use an automated arm loaded with stretch wrap that circles and wraps the shipment. No matter your needs, Greeno has the perfect fit.
