The Wrapping Gap How Small Mistakes Lead to Big Losses

September 16, 2025

In logistics and packaging, efficiency is everything. However, many businesses quietly drain profits due to small repeated mistakes during pallet wrapping. We call this “The Wrapping Gap”.

 

What is the Wrapping Gap?

It’s the hidden layer of inefficiencies caused by micro-errors in wrapping processes, such as:

 1. Incorrect tension settings

2. Overlap inconsistencies

3. Ignoring pre-stretch parameters

While these mistakes might seem minor per pallet, over thousands of loads shipped annually, they create significant ripple effects — from higher material costs to damaged goods and compromised load stability.

 

The Hidden Cost of Small Errors

1. Up to 10–15% more film waste due to poor tension and overlap practices.

2. Increased load instability, leading to product damage or shipment rejections.

3. Higher labor time from re-wrapping or corrective measures.

When added up, these “invisible” losses can cost businesses thousands in a single quarter.
