After years of watching the waste and
damage that resulted from the use of
stretch wrap on pallets in transit
through his warehouse, Simon
Garrett of Garrett Transport in
Saffron Walden decided there must be
a better way for pallet packaging;
something that was simple, protective,
quick, sustainable and safe – so he
invented and patented PalletSock.
Made from woven polypropylene
‘big bag’ material, the key to its
simplicity is four panels of ‘powernet’
elastication down each side which
grips the pallet after pulling over it –
like an elasticated sock. Payback is
estimated at between 6 and 15
journeys, dependent upon method of
wrapping and thickness of wrap.
