Save Money On Packaging Supplies With These Helpful Tips

More Money Saving Ideas For Packaging!

1. Don't Over Specify Your Palletwrap

If you're wrapping smooth-sided pallets (e.g. regular 'square' pallets), look at the new generation "Maxstretch" or "Infinity" palletwrap.
This could potentially save you 30–40% compared to older styles of palletwrap.

2. Don't Under Specify Palletwrap Either!

For irregular or sharp items or pallets, cheaper inner grades of palletwrap may require 5–6 layers.
Using thicker grades means fewer layers—only 2–3—saving material and time. In many cases, top quality 25um blown palletwrap is the most cost-effective option overall.

3. Look for Labour-Saving Customer Slits and Perforations on Bubblewrap and Polyfoam

We often find customers manually cutting bubblewrap into small sheets (e.g. 300 x 450mm).
In many cases, we can provide a tailor-made solution from the factory for just $7–$10 extra per roll—compared to $25–$35 per hour in labour costs!

If this applies to your business, call us to work out a better solution.

Polyfoam can also be customised with pre-cut slits, streamlining your packing process and reducing handling time. Ask us how!

4. Review Your Custom Carton or Box Requirements

Every situation is different, but reviewing your box or carton design can often lead to noticeable savings.

How?

• Is your box thickness correct? (Avoid over-specification or missing out on lightweight but strong alternatives.)
• Are you paying more for “white” board when plain brown would suffice?
• Can your carton be redesigned to improve pallet efficiency and reduce per-unit shipping costs?
