In the last 3 months we have tested the length of 67 different rolls of hand pallet wrap. Here is what we found: • 91% were shorted than specified. • 40% were outside of 10% tolerance which, rightly or wrongly, is considered industry standard. • If you are buying 300m rolls you are more likely to be receiving accurate roll lengths. • If you are buying 600m rolls you are most likely to be getting short wound. 100% of the 600m rolls we tested were shorter than specified. • On average the rolls were 10% short, but the shortest we found was 48% less metres than specified! To help address this issue, we’ve developed a digital roll length counter to measure exactly how many metres are on a roll. If you’d like us to test one of your rolls, get in touch. At the very least, you’ll know for sure whether you’re getting what you paid for. Our promise is, at any time in the future, you can call us to your site to test the length of one of our own rolls – proving that it’s what we say it is on the spec sheet. Everybody should get what they paid for. If you buy a litre of fuel for your car, you expect a litre – not 750ml.

We have tested the length of 67 different rolls of hand pallet wrap in the last 3 months. On average they were 10% shorter than specified. How much could short winding be costing you? Without knowing how many rolls you buy or the price you pay, it’s difficult to estimate exactly how much short winding could be costing you. But to give you an idea… If a company purchases 50,000 ‘600m’ rolls per year, but each roll actually contains only 540m, they would effectively be paying for 5,000 rolls they never receive. To estimate how much short rolling could be costing your business, you can use this formula… Lost Rolls = Total Rolls Purchased Per Year x 10% Estimated Cost = Lost Rolls x Price Per Roll To help address this issue, we’ve developed a digital roll length counter to measure exactly how many metres are on a roll. If you’d like us to test one of your rolls, get in touch. At the very least, you’ll know for sure whether you’re getting what you paid for. Our promise is, at any time in the future, you can call us to your site to test the length of one of our own rolls – proving that it’s what we say it is on the spec sheet. Everybody should get what they paid for. If you buy a litre of fuel for your car, you expect a litre – not 750ml.

In the last three months, we have tested the length of 67 different rolls of hand pallet wrap – 91% of them were short-wound. What is short winding? Hand pallet wrap is sold in specific roll lengths, most commonly 300 or 600 metres per roll. Short winding is when rolls are deliberately wound to less than the specified length. To help address this issue, we’ve developed a digital roll length counter to measure exactly how many metres are on a roll. Over the last three months, we tested 67 rolls from 65 different companies, and 91% of them came up short. On average, rolls were 10% shorter than specified. This means that if you were buying a ‘600m’ roll, you’d actually only be getting 540m. If you’d like us to test one of your rolls, get in touch. At the very least, you’ll know for sure whether you’re getting what you paid for. Our promise is, at any time in the future, you can call us to your site to test the length of one of our own rolls – proving that it’s what we say it is on the spec sheet.
