The process of pallet wrapping involves several steps. Whether you wrap pallets mechanically or manually, optimal protection is what our customers strive for. A possible first step in the pallet wrapping process is the use of top sheets, so-called plastic sheets that are placed over the top of a pallet.
Top sheet stands
The function of top sheets
Top sheets are used to cover pallets with a layer of film. This layer ensures that the pallet is also protected from above against, for example, dust and water. Because not only the sides, but certainly also the top is exposed to external factors such as dirt or moisture.
This first step is essential because it makes the next phase of wrapping easier. Manual wrapping is done by walking around the pallet in a fluid motion, upright and moving forward. EVC’s tools allow you to do this ergonomically and efficiently, but this does not include the top of the pallet. Unnecessary use of film can be avoided by placing a top sheet on the top of the pallet. This eliminates the need to cross over the pallet with the hand wrapping film, as a first base has already been laid.
Top sheet stands for top sheet rolls
Top sheet rolls are easily held in place in stands designed for this purpose. These usually stand vertically, but there is also a horizontal variant with wall mounting. The images show top sheet stands for one or two top sheets. Top sheets come in a transparent plastic cover sheet, but also in a black version.
These sturdy and stable ‘unrollers’ allow you to easily unroll the sheets from the roll, keeping them clean, dry and undamaged. In addition, there are also vertical stands that can be fitted with wheels and are therefore easy to move, making them usable anywhere in your workspace.
The combination of the right wrapping film, applied mechanically or manually with a top sheet unrolled from the top sheet stand, gives a nice and tight end result.
