Visibility
Our clear wraps are all well and good if you want to see what’s on your pallet, but there are also occasions when you want other people Not to see it. Black and white wraps are completely opaque, so they’re good for those times when you don’t want the contents to be visible. They’re often used when transporting pallets of high-value items like cigarettes or alcohol, to deter potential thieves. When an entire load of pallets are wrapped in black or white wrap, it’s very hard to work out which of them, if any, contain valuable items.
Matt pallet wrap can also be used to create interest if you’re launching a new product. Wrap the products up and leave them on display to tantalise customers as they wonder what’s coming!
