Stretch wrap for Wisconsin
Dairy loads are dense and cold. Cases of cheese and milk are heavy for their size, so the base wraps that tie the load to the pallet carry much of the work. Cold rooms mean cold film; ask for film rated for the temperature it is wrapped at. Frozen loads headed to warmer docks south along I-94 can sweat, which is where vented film earns its place.

Most concentrated: dairy product manufacturing, 8.9 times its national share of employment.
From Milwaukee south to Kenosha, on the I-94 corridor toward Chicago, is where Wisconsin's DCs gather. Cheese, milk and frozen food want clear, cold-rated film, and those DCs run machine film by the pallet.

Cheese and dairy pallets go from cold rooms to warm trucks in summer. Vented film lets that condensation out; solid film over cold cases traps it against the cartons.

Ask for a stretch film quote in Wisconsin
Cheese plants spread across the dairy counties, and distribution clusters near Kenosha, Milwaukee and Green Bay, often wrap in cold rooms. Mention the temperature where wrapping happens, and whether pallets leave by truck to Chicago or further. Paper mills too.
Put the Wisconsin 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
