Since pallet stretch films replaced cardboard, strapping and polyethylene shrink hoods, the industry has seen huge growth.

Although individual countries have embraced innovation at different speeds, it’s important for all players in the market to be armed with the best information available. Finding solutions to the stabilisation and protection of goods in transit has become the norm – downgauging, change in resin composition, a call to sustainability and use of bio-material as well as stricter legislation on road safety, are all contributors.

This study provides a detailed, independent assessment of the European market for products that stabilise and protect palletised goods during storage and transit.
