Beverage Stretch Film Solutions
Beverage manufacturers operate some of the most demanding pallet wrapping environments, with high production volumes, fast-moving distribution networks and heavy pallet loads requiring reliable containment throughout the supply chain.
Whether transporting bottled water, soft drinks, juices, beer, wine or spirits, maintaining load stability is essential to reducing product damage, protecting brand reputation and ensuring efficient delivery from production line to retail shelf.
Bontite® stretch film solutions help beverage producers improve pallet stability, optimise wrapping performance and identify opportunities to reduce film consumption without compromising load security.
Discover howBontite® can help improve load containment, protect products in transit and optimise pallet wrapping performance.
Challenges Facing Food & Beverage Manufacturers
Food and beverage supply chains present unique operational and packaging challenges.
Common challenges include:
- High-volume production environments
- Product damage during transportation
- Load shifting and pallet instability
- Rising packaging costs
- Sustainability targets and material reduction initiatives
- Maintaining efficient automated wrapping operations
Without effective load containment, pallet loads may become unstable during storage, handling and transportation, increasing the risk of product damage, waste and operational disruption.
Facing these challenges in your beverage operation? Speak with our team to explore opportunities to improve load stability, reduce product damage and optimise pallet wrapping performance.

- Helps reduce reliance on virgin plastic
- Maintains pallet stability throughout the supply chain
- Suitable for automated pallet wrapping operations
Stretch Film Analysis
Many beverage manufacturers focus on the price per kilo of stretch film, but the true cost of pallet wrapping is influenced by film consumption, containment force, wrap patterns and machine settings. Small changes can have a significant impact on material usage, pallet stability and operational efficiency.
Our Stretch Film Analysis evaluates your current wrapping operation to identify opportunities to optimise film consumption, improve load containment and reduce total cost of ownership. By analysing film performance, machine configuration and pallet requirements, our specialists help beverage manufacturers maximise efficiency while maintaining reliable load security.
Our analysis evaluates:
- Film consumption per pallet
- Load containment force
- Machine settings and prestretchlevels
- Wrapping performance and consistency
- Opportunities to reduce material use and packaging costs
