Load Containment

A Measurable Difference

Applying stretch wrap protects the outside of your load, but containment force keeps the load together. With Rapid Bander’s unparalleled pre-stretch capability, we can achieve the ideal containment standard to make sure your product reaches its destination.

  • Increased Force-To-Load

    With a pre-stretch capability of up to 300%, Rapid Bander’s patented Rapid Film can achieve containment force that is 2 – 3 times greater than that of other stretch films.
  • Product Stays on the Pallet

    Rapid Bander ties the load to the pallet, preventing loss due to load shifting.
  • Eliminates Puncture Migration

    Rapid Bander’s multiple bands prevent tears and punctures from migrating which cause web breaks that shut down a production line.

Source Reduction

Lowering Your Carbon Footprint

The Rapid Film patented reinforced banding system achieves superior containment using up to 60% less film. Less film usage means less waste material and significant savings in cost per pallet wrapped.

  • Wrap Stronger in Half the Time

    Eliminate bottlenecks in shipping by doubling the throughput of your current production.
  • Reduced Wear and Tear on Equipment

    It’s obvious – the fewer times around the pallet, the less wear and tear. The less wear and tear, the lower maintenance time and expense. It’s a win-win all around.
  • Less Waste for the Landfill

    While Rapid Film is recyclable, we know that much of this type of waste does end up in the landfill. By using 40% to 60% less film, we are minimizing the waste stream.

  • Greater Throughput Less wraps per pallet means faster wrap time and less wear and tear on equipment.
  • Tear and Puncture Resistance Reinforced bands prevent tears or punctures from propogating. Pallets can be broken down partially without compromising containment.
  • Fewer Roll Changes Wrap more than double the number of pallets between roll changes, minimizing down time.
  • Lighter Rolls Our 30% to 45% lighter rolls are easier to handle, lower the risk and damage of dropping rolls, and are easier to place on machines.
  • Amazing Film Clarity Easier to read, easier to scan; a cleaner overall presentation of your product.
  • Tamper Evident Intact pallets can be easily identified by the distinctive criss-cross bands.
  • Try It – Indefinitely Our Never Ending Trial lets you experience the benefits of Rapid Bander with no capital investment.

The Science of
Stretch Wrap

Allied Advanced Technology Load Containment Lab

Allied has established a laboratory dedicated to the evaluation and optimization of load containment as a service to our customers.

Each piece of test equipment provides specific data which quantifies the forces exerted on a pallet during shipment. From this data, recommendations are made in a formal report and analysis which is presented to the customer. Objectives can include improved load containment, reduced costs, and increased sustainability.

Our technical staff uses its knowledge of material science and physics to develop a test plan, specific to the customer, analyze the data, and then to make recommendations to help our customers achieve their load containment objectives.

Sophisticated R&D Stretch Wrap Machines

These machines are fitted with advanced film monitoring technology, and capable of achieving virtually any wrap configuration and with absolute repeatability. Every aspect of the process is accurately measured and recorded.

Transportation Simulator

This equipment tilts the load to apply a horizontal force. The degree of the angle determines the amount of force applied. Other variables include the dwell (the time it holds at the set angle) and vibration, along with vibration frequency. Vibration reduces friction between the layers on the pallet, simulating road vibration, allowing us to observe and record what happens during a typical shipment. Profiles are measured before and after testing to record where and how much load shift took place.

Impact Test

This equipment generates a high impact force to the pallet. The amount of force is determined by the angle of the frame and the distance its sled travels. Sophisticated data logging instrumentation measures the precise g-force achieved. Slo-motion cameras record the impact so we can “see” all of the movement of the load during impact. Profiles are measured before and after testing to record where and how much load shift took place.

Horizontal Acceleration

This equipment rapidly accelerates and decelerates a sled in a horizonal plane at a constant velocity using a sophisticated hydraulic system. The amount of velocity achieved is set using digital controls. Slo-motion cameras record the acceleration and deceleration so we can “see” all the movement of the load during impact. Profiles are measured before and after testing to record where and how much load shift took place.

Revolutionizing Pallet Wrap

The patented Rapid Bander stretch wrap system began with it's forerunner, Rapid Roper. It was developed to solve a problem in the agricultural industry - how do you completely secure and stabilize loads while maintaining product breathability?

What followed were years of working with customers and suppliers to develop the most innovative and substantial changes in stretch film design and stretch wrap application since these products first began.

Not only did the system we developed yield greater load containment using far less film than other palletizing systems, we discovered that by creating a reinforced web system, we could offer far superior containment on any type of palletized load, wrapping pallets in less time and with far less material.

15 years and 6 patents later, we are revolutionizing the way pallets are wrapped.
