Packaging expert releases pallet stability report

Titled ‘Pallet Stability: Costs, savings and avoiding rejected & damaged loads’, the report was independently compiled by Kirsten Tisdale, director of logistics and supply chain consultancy Aricia Limited.

In the report, Kirsten examines the scale of the problem of pallets experiencing Movement in Transmit (MIT). A recent survey of FMCG manufacturers showed 75% of companies were experiencing MIT weekly at a cost of more than £250,000.

Clients using Lindum Packaging have benefited from their pallet wrap, one client reported a 16% cost saving after moving to 30% recycled wrap thanks to a nano stretch film from Lindum’s Carestretch range.

Kirsten says: “This wasn’t an area I’d been deeply involved with in the past, and I’ve been impressed with the approach that Lindum take and the clear benefit it provides in advising on pallet stability to help companies be more sustainable and efficient, as well as providing quality products.”

Rick Sellars, sales manager of Lindum Packaging, added: “We’re proud to be able to say we are revolutionising the way UK businesses cut plastic and CO2 through pallet wrap optimisation and improved transport stability.”
