Single-use PET bottles, commonly used for bottled water, are among the most difficult products to unitize securely. With the product's razor thin margins and a drive to improve sustainability, companies are looking for ways to reduce primary and secondary packaging materials and ship without damage.

The "slosh" factor. Water weight shifts suddenly and constantly when picked up by a forklift or when in-transit. This causes an uneven weight distribution that leads to loads sliding or shifting off the pallet.
Film breaks or product crushing causes operators to tweak stretch wrapper settings, resulting in inconsistent and ineffective stretch wrapping.
Film tails tend to get caught in downstream equipment, causing downtime for highly automated facilities.
