What is wrapping?

Pallet wrapping is a technique whereby thin plastic film is wrapped around a pallet or product. This can be done manually or mechanically. Various terms are used, such as wrapping, film wrapping, stretch wrapping and pallet wrapping, but they all mean the same. By means of wrapping it is possible to bundle or secure products and/or protect them against falling over, getting damaged or accumulating dirt during transport and storage.
