What are pallet wrappers and what do they do?

A pallet wrapper is a machine or device used to wrap products stacked on a pallet with stretch film to secure them for storage and transport. Pallet wrappers help stabilize the load, protect products from dust and moisture, and improve safety during handling and shipping. They can be manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic, depending on the needs of the warehouse or distribution center. Using a pallet wrapper increases efficiency and reduces the risk of product damage compared to manual wrapping.
