The Watershed Spotlight: Pallet Wrappers

Over the coming months, the Watershed Packaging blog is going to offer you an insight into all things Watershed Packaging. Our upcoming blogs will highlight different aspects of our business to give you a wider understanding of what we do and how we continuously produce and supply innovative products to meet consumer demand in specific markets. In the competitive field of Flexible Print and Packaging, no competitor can offer the same array of products alongside such a responsive and entrepreneurial service.

As the situation evolves with the spread of COVID-19 worldwide, at Watershed Packaging we are still working hard to ensure we maintain the supply of top-quality packaging materials to our customers and ensure we keep our staff safe. We thought it would be exciting to provide our readers with some information about different aspects of the Watershed Packaging brand.

When Watershed Packaging was first established in 1993, we initially supplied Packaging Machinery and Packaging Consumables to our customers. In 1996, we acquired a company in Wales which enabled Watershed Packaging to then become manufacturers and suppliers of Printed Tape. This was the spark that ignited our strive for success. Since our formation over 28 years ago, Watershed Packaging has become one of the prominent suppliers of Flexible Printed Packaging. Our core values ​​of quality, service and innovation make Watershed a premium choice for many multinational companies.

This week we are shining the spotlight on our Packaging division, specifically Packaging Machinery and our Pallet Wrapper machines. Today we will be giving you an insight into our capabilities as a Packaging Machinery and Packaging Consumables supplier.

What is Pallet Wrapping?
Pallet Wrapping is a process where you wrap your goods with a strong film called Pallet Wrap to ensure you protect your goods from the elements of dirt and dust. It is also a perfect way to secure your goods whilst in transit, so they do not move or get damaged. Boxed goods or machinery can be pallet wrapped using either a machine known as a Pallet Wrapper or by hand using Pallet Wrap.

What is a Pallet Wrapper?

Pallet Wrapper machines can be entry level, or you can purchase fully automatic Pallet Wrapper machines which wrap the pallet with the touch of a button. This saves your warehouse huge amounts of time as you are not having to wrap the goods by hand using Pallet Wrap, as the system is automated so you load the pallet onto the base, set the machine up with the correct height for wrapping and the machine wraps the goods for you.

Watershed offers a complete range of Pallet Wrappers from entry level to high speed fully automatic systems.
