Showroom Spotlight Series: Manual Stretch Wrapper

In packaging operations, not every solution requires full automation. This manual stretch wrapper, now available for demonstration at the IMS Showroom in Grand Rapids, Michigan, delivers consistent, cost-effective wrapping performance for low-volume or irregular pallet applications—proving that simplicity can still mean precision.

Practical Performance for Low-Volume Operations

Despite its simplicity, it integrates advanced film control through a patented braking and tension system—ensuring every wrap delivers consistent containment force and film stretch. Optional configurations, including alternate carriage systems or customized wrapping heights, offer flexibility for unique production needs.
