Is your pallet wrap costing you more than it should?

Wrapping pallets with extra layers and thicker film feels safe, but it often means wasted money and wasted plastic. The truth is, how film is applied matters just as much as how thick it is.

Here’s how businesses are getting smarter about it:

Choosing the right film thickness for the load
Cutting film waste with consistent wrapping
Using automatic stretch wrappers (like Wulftec machines) for even tension and repeatable results

Better wrapping means fewer damaged shipments, lower costs, and less plastic going to waste. 💚

At the end of every supply chain there’s cardboard, pallets, film, and other material that usually gets treated as a cost of doing business. We see it a little differently. With the right program in place, those waste streams can actually bring revenue back to your business.

PLM has several recycling programs built around exactly that. Since 1960, we’ve been helping companies across the country get more out of their supply chains, and that includes what’s left over at the end.

Efficient packaging isn’t just about materials. It’s about strategy.

We see it all the time: a business switches to a cheaper box and still ends up spending more on shipping, damage, and storage. The real savings usually come from looking at the whole picture, from how items are packed to how they travel through your supply chain.

If you’d like a second set of eyes on your packaging process, our specialists at PLM are happy to talk it through. Send us a message anytime: https://plmcompanies.com/contact-us

A clearly marked aisle, a highlighted hazard, or a color-coded work zone can be the difference between a normal shift and a preventable accident. That’s why PLM carries a full lineup of tapes built for safety applications, including:

✅ Vinyl tapes for aisle marking and identification
✅ Hazard, caution, and barricade tapes to flag danger zones
✅ Reflective tape for vehicles, equipment, and low-light areas
✅ Anti-slip tape for stairs, ramps, and walkways

Vinyl marking tape is a smart alternative to floor paint: it resists solvents, comes in a range of colors, and removes cleanly when your layout changes.

It’s been a great time for team bonding here at PLM! The Mann Meats bus pulled up and fired up their smoker, serving pulled pork, brats, burgers, and more. Great food brought everyone together, and the day turned into a real win! 😋
