How many loads per day would justify buying a stretch wrap machine?
The cost of a stretch wrap machine is easily justified, even with 10-15 loads per day. Hand-wrapping is a time-consuming and physically demanding operation. Stretch wrapping makes it easier and safer, while reducing product damage and labor. Companies that are wrapping manually with film will see significant savings in film usage, as well. For companies that are processing 80 or more loads per day, a stretch wrap machine makes excellent business sense. Production rates go up, labor costs go down, wrapping is more consistent and there is more quality control over the wrapping process to ensure damage-free distribution.
