Why Upgrading to New Stretch Wrapping Equipment Just Makes Sense

Date

At Nitech IPM, we work with customers who run their packaging lines day in and day out—and we can tell right away when a stretch wrapper is costing them more than it should. Machines that still “work fine” often hide inefficiencies that quietly eat into profit margins.

When our customers replace older units with new stretch wrapping equipment, the difference shows up immediately in film usage, labor time, and operator safety.

1. Smarter film use

Older machines tend to lose tension and pre-stretch accuracy over time. That means more film is used per load, and every roll costs more than it should.
Our modern stretch wrapping machines maintain consistent pre-stretch ratios up to 300% so customers get the maximum yield out of every roll. The result is predictable, measurable savings.

2. Less wasted motion

Inefficient setups force operators to climb off forklifts just to attach and cut film. Over hundreds of loads, that wasted motion adds up fast.
With Nitech IPM’s automatic stretch wrapping systems, operators can start, stop, and release a load with a lanyard. Fewer steps mean faster cycles and better throughput—without adding labor.

3. Safer by design

Many older wrappers lack safeguards for load stability and operator protection. Newer systems remove those risks by automating attachment and film cutting, preventing contact with moving loads.
Our equipment integrates safety stops, smooth deck designs, and automated features that help customers protect both people and product.


At the end of the day, upgrading to new stretch wrapping equipment isn’t just about replacing a machine; it’s about improving productivity, safety, and film efficiency across the line.
That’s why so many operations trust Nitech IPM to design solutions that wrap smarter, faster, and safer.
