Finding the cheapest Pallet Wrapping

Millions of pallets are wrapped worldwide each year; however, top retailers see pallet wrapping as just a cost and the end users, which is the consumes will not feel the effect of goods being transported using pallet wraps compared to how they would feel it if it was shipped another way such as in cartons and tins.
When it comes to purchasing cheaper pallet wraps some companies will try to get a reel of pallet at a cheaper price than to change the specifics of the films that they are known to use. Re-sellers who do not deal with manufacturers closely are normally the ones who will try to get a cost reduction on their pallets while not cutting on quality.
However, how do you get the cheapest price for pallet wraps without cutting corners on quality? Well when it comes to looking for the best pallet wraps reel, you will not get the prices cut back and sometimes the prices will be even higher than you expected; therefore, this is what you do. You should first figure out how many pallets can be wrapped with one reel of pallet before you go out and buy them. Take this for example; you can wrap 35 pallets with a GBP3.00, while you can only wrap 15 pallets with a GBP1.50. By going with the GBP3.0, you are automatically cutting on price because if you do the math, you will see that with 2 GBP1.50, you will only be able to wrap 30 pallets and while it might seem cheaper when you are getting only one, it is much more expensive in the end.
Another option is to get a pre-stretch film with 8mu+ instead of the more popularly used one that comes in 14mu+. While this film is much thinner, it is stretched by the manufacturer instead of by the users, which will cause you to use fewer pallets, making it more cost effective for you. You should also always keep in mind that pallet wraps are sold by weight and is always worked out into price per tonne and while the pre-stretched reel is more expensive, you will be using up to 40% less per wrap, automatically saving you on using too much.
While the options presented might seem more expensive at a glance, it is much cheaper if you work it out correctly and is not blinded by price in the initial stage of purchase.
