OVERVIEW & CHALLENGE

A leading East Coast fencing manufacturer engaged with SupplyOne to explore ways to improve packaging consistency and product protection. Multiple facilities were using different stretch and shrink films and pallet materials, leading to higher costs and inconsistent load stability.

THE SOLUTION

  • SupplyOne performed on-site stretch and shrink film trials to identify the most efficient materials and machine settings.
  • Standardized stretch and shrink film and banding specifications to reduce SKU complexity and improve load containment.
  • Introduced pallet sheets and offset boards to strengthen stacking integrity and minimize product damage.
  • Evaluated equipment optimization opportunities to enhance wrapping consistency and reduce film waste.

THE RESULT

Standardizing packaging with SupplyOne improved pallet stability by 46%, reduced film usage by 60%, and delivered $20K in annual cost savings.
