Stretch wrap for Indiana
Metal parts with sharp edges are the common problem: a cut starts at a corner and runs up the pallet. Corner boards and blown film at 90 gauge or more fix most of it. Parts plants sending steel to assembly lines may also want VCI film to stop rust between press and line. The pharmaceutical plants round Indianapolis, by contrast, ship light cartons that want clear cast film so lot labels can be read.
