How to Wrap
A well packed pallet saves your business money, and gives you piece of mind. First of all make sure to pack your boxes and or items close to one another. Wasting pallet space wastes money. Secondly, stack your items bottom heavy, while the journey might be a smooth one, you don’t want anything slipping off the top! Goods can be held on to the pallet by either a jack strap or plastic shrink wrap. Use the straps to secure non conformal shapes, items like motors or even motorcycles are best secured by straps. Boxes won’t be going anywhere with plastic shrink wrap. Prevent sliding, and keep fresh produce fresh – shrink wrap traps cold air and keeps out microbial munchers for longer.
Pallet Shipping is Cost Effective

Pack your pallet tight, the more that goes on a single pallet the fewer truck loads and the less that needs to be spent. Same goes for the pallets, don’t leave any gaps between them on the truck! Use a type of plastic pallet called a skid. These pallets can stack 50 high when not used saving you room for more items.
