Stretch Wrapping

Stretch wrapping plays a vital role in stabilizing pallet loads, reducing product damage, and improving warehouse efficiency. RPMI Packaging, Inc. offers reliable stretch wrapping solutions that help companies improve load security, reduce film usage, and maintain consistent packaging performance.

Whether wrapping heavy pallets or delicate items, using the right equipment can make a noticeable difference in operational flow and packaging costs. RPMI supplies machines built for various demands, from manual-assisted operations to fully automated systems.

What Is a Stretch Wrapping Machine?

A stretch wrapping machine secures products on a pallet by applying stretch film under tension. The film holds the items tightly together, reducing the risk of shifting or damage during transport and storage. These machines help companies save time compared to manual wrapping and typically improve load consistency and appearance.

Most stretch films are made from linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), known for its flexibility and strength. When paired with equipment that pre-stretches the film, the result is lower material usage and stronger containment force. Stretch wrapping machines are commonly found in manufacturing plants, warehouses, and distribution centers.

Types of Stretch Wrapping Systems Offered

We supply a full selection of stretch wrapping systems by Phoenix, a trusted name in the industry. Each system is configured to handle specific production environments and load types.

• Semi-Automatic Turntable Systems: Machines such as the PHP‑2100, PHP‑2150, and PHP‑2300 are ideal for facilities with lower volumes or occasional wrapping needs. Operators manually position the pallet, and the machine handles the wrapping cycle.
• Automatic Turntable Systems: Models like the PHPA‑2150, PHPA‑2200/PLPA‑2150 allow for higher speed operation with less labor. These systems can automatically cut and secure the film after each wrap, reducing operator involvement.
• Rotary Arm Wrappers: These systems are well-suited for heavy or unstable loads. The arm rotates around a stationary pallet, preventing the need to spin the load. Examples include the PRTA‑2100/2200, and PRTA‑2150.
• Semi-Automatic Rotary Arm: The PRTL‑2150A is designed for applications where floor-level loading is necessary. It is a dependable choice for wrapping large or fragile items without requiring a conveyor or elevated turntable.

Our stretch wrapping machines can be integrated with conveyors, labelers, palletizers, and weighing stations. This allows for a streamlined packaging line and helps facilities meet productivity targets without adding extra labor.

Benefits of RPMI’s Stretch Wrapping Solutions

RPMI stretch wrapping solutions help minimize film waste through powered pre-stretch technology, which extends the film before it is applied. This results in lower material use per load and better containment.

The machines also contribute to safer and faster pallet handling. Operators can complete cycles with minimal effort, reducing strain and improving consistency. User-friendly interfaces, diagnostics, and customization settings add to the efficiency.
