However, there is something to be said for doing it once and doing it right. Consider the gift analogy. You wouldn\u2019t cut a piece of wrapping paper without first checking the size and shape of the gift. Following expert recommendations for wrap that will work across its life cycle is cheaper than constantly chopping and changing \u2013 or product damage due to inadequate pallet containment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-78edfc7\" data-id=\"78edfc7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b419b1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2b419b1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"770\" src=\"https:\/\/universalpackaging.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Image-insert-2-1-1024x986.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-9140\" alt=\"The visible and often unforeseen costs of transportation product damage.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universalpackaging.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Image-insert-2-1-1024x986.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/universalpackaging.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Image-insert-2-1-300x289.jpg 300w, https:\/\/universalpackaging.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Image-insert-2-1-768x740.jpg 768w, https:\/\/universalpackaging.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Image-insert-2-1.jpg 1352w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-29a3d9a elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"29a3d9a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7b812e5\" data-id=\"7b812e5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-7d1e432 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7d1e432\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-cccc8b4\" data-id=\"cccc8b4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bed71ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bed71ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><strong>3. <\/strong><strong>Have you assessed the \u2018real\u2019 value of the stretch wrap roll.<\/strong><\/h4><p>There\u2019s a big difference between \u2018perceived\u2019 and \u2018real\u2019 value. \u2018Real value\u2019 is how much a product costs, how useful it is, and how much value it provides. \u2018Perceived value\u2019 is an altogether more abstract amount representing how much people feel a product is worth. \u00a0Pallet wrap can be seen as a \u2018one size fits all\u2019 product by some.

The study further states that 60 percent of the unsalable losses could be attributed to delivery exceptions caused by load damage.

Communicate properly.<\/strong><\/p><p>Presenting the case for the \u2018right\u2019 priced pallet wrap can seem like an uphill slog without considering and including the perspectives and goals of other departments. This is where the big picture vision will come in handy. Damaged goods have wide-ranging costs, affecting the reputation of the business and putting a dent in finances and operations targets. Enabling peak efficiency with the correct choice of wrap is best for all involved. So, it is imperative that all departments share information on their needs and the challenges they face to make this happen.<\/p><p><strong>2. Consider all costs.<\/strong><\/p><p>It\u2019s not just wrapping time and plastic use that are affected when you have problems with pallet wrap. New Zealand companies with damaged goods must also consider product replacement costs, freight claim time, and a decrease in customer satisfaction. Then there are the return shipping costs, the time in repair and repackaging, the administration time, the damage to brand reputation, the time-sensitive losses, the environmental impact, and the lost sales and impact on future orders. \u00a0<\/p><p><strong>3. Test correctly.<\/strong><\/p><p>Quite often pricing decisions are made without the right information on a particular product. Without these measurements nobody can ascertain the real value. Here the age, condition and design of the equipment can also place limitations on what film is best suited. Sometimes simple modifications and upgrades can bring older equipment up to speed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-7e499b6\" data-id=\"7e499b6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24648e6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"24648e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/universalpackaging.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Image-insert.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"The actual cost of wrapping pallets\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6OTE0MSwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL3VuaXZlcnNhbHBhY2thZ2luZy5jby5uelwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyM1wvMTJcL0ltYWdlLWluc2VydC5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"766\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/universalpackaging.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Image-insert-766x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-9141\" alt=\"The actual cost of wrapping pallets\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universalpackaging.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Image-insert-766x1024.jpg 766w, https:\/\/universalpackaging.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Image-insert-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/universalpackaging.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Image-insert-768x1026.jpg 768w, https:\/\/universalpackaging.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Image-insert.jpg 874w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8581c52 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"8581c52\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-02ef05f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"02ef05f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-c8cf2f6\" data-id=\"c8cf2f6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35db297 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"35db297\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Above all, always look at the big picture when making stretch wrap procurement decisions.
