Stretch Film Equipment

One of the most significant costs associated with packaging is the damage incurred from an insufficiently secured load during transport. While hand-wrapping pallets offers viable solutions to these problems, it still comes with the risks and inconsistencies associated with operator error. Besides providing the most accurate wrapping solutions, stretch film equipment improves the speed and efficiency of your entire packaging operation.

Stretch Wrapping Solutions for Packaging

Viking Plastic Packaging, Inc. offers an extensive line of stretch film wrapping equipment and pallet wrap machines that accurately and efficiently secure your products for shipment. Our equipment can handle multiple types of stretch wrapping applications unique to your operation, allowing you to increase productivity and reduce labor costs. In addition to improving efficiency and productivity, other advantages stretch film equipment has over manual applications include:

  • Better protection: Automatic and semi-automatic stretch film equipment delivers better protection against moisture, dust and dirt than the inconsistencies resulting from hand applications. 
  • Increased safety: Many accidents like trips and falls come along with the potential hazards of manual labor. Automatic equipment allows your workers to focus on other important tasks while the machines do the wrapping. 
  • Optimized material usage: Warehouse employees typically try to wrap units as securely as possible, using excessive amounts of stretch film. These efforts are wasteful and uneconomical. Stretch wrap machines are beneficial because they can prevent excessive waste through precise calibration.

Automatic vs. Semi-Automatic Stretch Wrap Machines

While some people often interchange the terms automatic and semi-automatic, there is a difference, even though it’s pretty simple. Automatic stretch film wrapping machines handle all the steps without any operator involvement, while semi-automatic wrappers require an operator to place or remove a unit from the wrap zone. Our team can help you determine the best option for your application based on your facility’s environment, typical load weights and sizes, shipping requirements, desired efficiency and other factors.

Lantech Stretch Film Wrapping Equipment

As an authorized distributor of Lantech stretch film equipment, Viking Plastic Packaging is proud to offer the industry’s premier automatic, semi-automatic, turntable, ring and straddle wrappers. Our staff has been trained by Lantech directly, meaning we can provide you with valuable insight when selecting the ideal stretch film equipment for your application.

Lantech manufactures two primary types of machines:

  • Turntable stretch wrappers: A turntable stretch wrapper uses a turntable to spin the load while the dispenser moves up and down to wrap the unit.
  • Straddle stretch wrappers: A straddle stretch wrapper maneuvers around the pallet and applies the film while the unit remains still, making it ideal for unstable, imbalanced and heavier loads.

We offer some of Lantech’s most popular automatic and semi-automatic models, including G-Series, L-Series, S-Series and Q-Series wrappers.
