How did we help a meat company optimise their palletising?

Proper pallet stabilisation is a key requirement in the meat industry, as in addition to strict ventilation standards, transport safety is also a key requirement. A large meat company asked us to develop their pallet securing solution as the current system did not provide sufficient stability.

The challenge: Unstable pallets, high packaging costs:

Previously, the company used perforated stretch film, strapping tape and edge protectors to secure the pallets. The perforated film used was of limited use because if it was rolled up too many times on the pallet, the perforated holes covered each other, reducing ventilation. This was not only a problem in terms of product quality, but also compromised the stability of the pallet.

As a result, the pallets regularly became unstable during transport, requiring extra strapping and edge protection. The additional cost of this was a significant expense for the company.

The solution is PalletNet elastic pallet netting:

PalletNet elastic pallet net. This technology has made it possible to:

• Eliminate the need for edge protection and strapping.
• Create more stable pallets with less material usage.
• Provide ventilation for pallets, meeting industry standards.
• Reduce packaging costs by 30-35%.

The result: stable pallets, significant savings!

By implementing PalletNet, the company has saved more than 2.5 million HUF annually on packaging costs. Waste due to unstable pallets has been reduced, transport has become safer, while the packaging process has become faster and simpler.

PalletNet is not just a new technology, but a solution that makes the entire supply chain more efficient. If your company wants to optimise its pallet storage, contact us!

“The usefulness of packaging is unquestionable, as it ensures that products, goods and food can be transported over longer distances and have a longer shelf life. However, we believe it is important to do this with as little packaging as possible and to protect our environment from unnecessary packaging pollution – this is our mission statement” – Gábor Arató, Managing Director of Manupackaging Hungary Kft.
