Have you heard of rite-guaging stretch film?

Rite-gauging: What is it?

Applying the correct amount of film decreases the amount of product damage during shipping and storage.

Simply put, rite-gauging is using the right amount of film, applying it correctly to wrap your pallet, ensuring safe and damage free delivery of products. When using stretch film, it's important to use the correct amount of film, thickness, force to load, overlap, and revolutions to ensure equal containment force to the entire pallet. This means the bottom, middle, and top portions of the pallet are all uniform with each other. Rite-gauging is the standardization to your stretch film process that can be measurable and repeatable. Applying rite-gauging makes your process more cost-effective. Part of this process is understanding that each application is different, and there's not one size fits all method to stretch film. You should treat every application differently.
