Manual wrapping film: versatile and easy

Manual wrapping film is used for manually wrapping small to medium quantities of pallets or individual products. It is the ideal solution for companies that ship less than 15 pallets per day. With manual rollers, you can easily wrap both small products and tubes or boxes, regardless of whether they are on pallets or not.

Advantages of manual wrapping

  • Versatility: Manual rollers are suitable for a variety of loads, like small boxes or products with a special shape.
  • Cost savings: it is an affordable option for companies that do not process large volumes.
  • Flexibility: you can quickly switch between different product types.

Machine rolls: efficiency and consistency

If your company ships more than 15 pallets a day, a machine film wrapper can save you lots of time and effort. These machines are designed to quickly and consistently wrap pallets with the right amount of film, which leads to higher pallet load stability and less film consumption.

Advantages of machine wrapping

  • Time savings: a machine film wrapper works faster than manual wrapping and can process multiple pallets per hour.
  • Film efficiency: such machines use exactly the amount of film that is needed, which minimizes waste.
  • Ergonomics: you save the backs and energy of your employees, because your machine does the heavy work.

Choose the right film for your application

In addition to the choice between manual and machine wrapping, it is also important to use the right wrapping film. Marisan offers manual wrapping film and machine rolls in various widths, thicknesses and colours such as transparent or black. Black film is often used to provide extra protection against theft, as the contents are not visible. Coloured film has the advantage that it makes it easier for you to distinguish the different types of loads.

Whether you choose manual or machine wrapping, it is important to make the right choice based on the volume of your shipments and the nature of your products. At Marisan you will find an extensive range of wrapping film, both for manual use and for machine rolls, so that you always have the perfect solution for your packaging needs!
