Film-based wrapping will help to shield the cargoes from moist, water, dirt, damages and toppling during transportation or storage. This will ensure that the cargoes will be safely transported. One example of film-based wrapping is pallet wrap. The pallet wrap film is being wrapped on the cargoes for a few layers. This is done so as to palletize the multiple small packages together in order to have more retention for the load and better resistance in puncture. Since the pallet wrap film is transparent, therefore the labels of the cargoes can be read clearly.
Corrugated carton material is not as preferred as film-based wrapping because of some reasons. Firstly, the cartons may be destroyed when opening it due to difficulty in opening it as it may be enclosed using staples and tapes. This means that the cartons cannot be reused again which is wastage of resources. The cartons of cargoes in film-based wrapping can be easily retrieved by removing the films. Secondly, corrugated carton is unable to contain materials that are having leakage. It will be dangerous if the leakage contains hazardous chemicals. But for film-based wrapping, it will be able to prevent some leakages since the film is waterproof.
