The importance of protecting cartons from moisture is about more than just protecting products – it’s about saving energy and costs.
Boxes make it possible to group several products together quickly and cheaply. Depending on its thickness, it can then be stacked on a pallet for transportation. Then, stretch film is used but these two materials reach their limits during long-term storage, transport or with significant handling.
This is where shrink-wrap comes in handy, by providing a protective, watertight “film” over the product during periods where there is an element of risk, such as during transportation and handling. Unfortunately, boxes being ruined due to humidity means that some of these qualities are lost. There is nothing more frustrating than receiving a load which disintegrates because the boxes are full of water. There is nothing more expensive than repacking the goods in other boxes to dispatch them again.
Therefore, the use of shrink-wrap guarantees your products are completely protected and reduces any hidden costs whilst using your other materials.
