When shipping in bulk, your responsibility doesn’t end when the goods leave your warehouse. A pallet will be loaded, unloaded, and moved multiple times before it reaches its destination. The biggest risk during this journey is load shifting, which can cause catastrophic product damage. A secondary risk is tampering or theft.

The core problem is maintaining the integrity of the pallet as a single, solid unit throughout the entire supply chain. A well-stacked pallet can quickly become a dangerous and unstable mess if not secured correctly. This is where the psychology of security comes into play. A tightly and professionally wrapped pallet is a clear, non-verbal signal that the contents are secure and have been handled with care. It’s a visual deterrent to tampering and provides evidence if the seal is broken.

The solution is a process called load containment. This involves wrapping the entire pallet in a material that provides high tensile strength, effectively making dozens of individual boxes act as one solid block. The material must be strong enough to prevent shifting and have excellent puncture resistance. For this vital task, industrial Stretch Film is the industry standard. Properly applied, it provides a protective cocoon around your shipment, ensuring it remains stable, secure, and protected from moisture and dust from the moment it leaves your facility to the moment it arrives at its destination.
