This document discusses the cost savings that various companies achieved by switching to more advanced pallet wrapping films and equipment. It provides examples of companies in logistics, food manufacturing, distribution, automotive accessories that reduced the amount of film and number of rolls needed to wrap pallets. This led to annual savings ranging from £4,842 to £20,750 through lower material and labor costs. Improved films allowed pallets to be wrapped more securely using 10-30% less material.
