Pallet securing is crucial for the safe transport of your shipped goods. This is because a transport pallet only fulfils its purpose if the load is stable and securely fixed – regardless of whether it consists of individual items or stacked goods. There are several load securing systems to choose from. We will work with you to determine whether tried-and-tested stretch film is the right solution for you or whether a film-free option would deliver better results. We are also happy to analyse and optimise your existing pallet securing solution according to your needs.
Stretch film is now the most widely used means of securing load units. It ensures that the stack on the pallet remains stable under various transport conditions. Depending on the quantity, stretch film is applied either manually or using a stretch machine. When using machines, the most important parameters are: daily throughput, wrapping pattern, film stretch and restoring force, which must be adjusted to the packaged goods. We also use this information to select the optimal film type – for maximum safety with minimum material consumption.
Anti-slip papers are particularly well suited for creating stable stacks of smooth products that are difficult to palletise. They prevent the packaged goods from slipping on the pallet, reduce the amount of stretch film required and even make it possible to dispense with film altogether for internal transport.
Film-free alternatives such as adhesives work in a similar way to Velcro: they leave no residue, are recyclable and require no additional disposal effort.
Most people are familiar with the classic Euro pallet. However, there are other types of pallets that are also frequently used. Different pallets have become established depending on the industry, load requirements and type of transport. We will work with you to determine which pallet is best suited to your requirements.

Strapping is a reliable method of securing products on pallets. For stable loads, it can be applied directly to the goods; for more sensitive packaged goods, edge protectors are used under the strapping to prevent the strapping from cutting into the goods. Edge protectors also serve to distribute the load and stabilise the strapped or wrapped load. All materials are available from us in different designs.
Pallet containers made of corrugated cardboard in various thicknesses can be stacked on a pallet either individually or in pairs. They are specially designed to fit the format of pallets and are suitable for transporting a wide variety of goods in different sizes. Depending on the application, additional padding material is used to secure the packaged goods in the container. We would be happy to advise you on the right combination of container, pallet and pallet securing.
