Stretch wrap for Georgia
Poultry dominates enough that cold, wet cartons set the film choice at many Georgia plants: cling to a damp surface, toughness at low temperature, and vented film for loads that will warm up in transit. Port-side warehouses in Savannah and distribution around Atlanta handle dry import goods instead, mostly square cartons that a cast machine roll wraps well. Ask for the two separately.

Most concentrated: meat and poultry processing, 2.4 times its national share of employment.
Georgia stores goods round Atlanta, in Fulton, Henry and Cobb, and behind the port at Savannah. Cold, wet boxes from the poultry plants and import cartons from the port need different films, and many Georgia docks run both.

Poultry pallets leave wet. Brush water and ice off the cartons first, because film won't cling to a wet face, and carry the base wraps well down onto the deck boards.

Ask for a stretch film quote in Georgia
Poultry plants in the north of the state, around Gainesville, and port warehouses in Chatham and Effingham counties can share one standing order if each line names its dock. Plants should say whether wrapping happens in a cold room, so the film quoted is rated for it.
Put the Georgia delivery ZIP first: the quote is made out for that dock.
- Step 1 asks what you need, how much a month, the delivery ZIP and how to reach you
- Step 2 asks the film, the width and the gauge; skip what you don't know
