Application:
Needed to be able to transport large numbers of pallets to markets around Australia safely with load integrity and the ability for the load to be able to breathe.

The Problem:
Currently hand wrapping their pallets using stretch tape which is extremely time consuming due to the number of pallets to be wrapped and the need for the loads to be able to breathe. This is costly and time consuming.
 
Alternatives:
• Perforated stretch film. (Didn’t solve waste problem).
• Netting (difficult to apply and maintain load stability. Expensive)
• Continue to hand wrap each pallet.
