The company says a wrapped pallet is less likely to be attacked by insects, or damaged by water, and is more likely to arrive as clean as when it was despatched. A film wrapped pallet is more likely to be stable, especially when there are a variety of sizes of packs and boxes. There is less likelihood of pilfering and any deliberate damage would be easier to identify.

The new Detectable Pallet Wrap has been tested and found to offer good levels of detectability in metal detectors. In trials by experienced wrap users the film was described as offering a more resilient strength that was less likely to tear.
