How to choose the perfect packaging roll for your product

Do you find that any packaging rolls you currently use tear easily during shipping? Do you consume large quantities of rolls without achieving the required protection for your products? That is the problem that many stores and factories in the market face.

Relying on unsuitable plastic packaging rolls not only wastes materials and increases costs, but also threatens your brand reputation when damaged or poorly made products reach the end customer.

Therefore, choosing the packaging is just as important as the quality of the product itself. Because we at Ramasco Packaging Systems are deeply aware of this challenge, and consider ourselves your partners in protecting your investments, we have prepared this comprehensive guide.

We will delve into the fundamental differences between various materials (such as PVC, POF, and POPP), and explain how thickness (microns) affects the level of protection, to help you protect your products professionally.

The best wrapping rolls for professional protection and safety

When any facility begins to develop a production line, the first thing that is reflected in the quality of the product is the accuracy and efficiency of the packaging.

Choosing suitable packaging rolls ensures consistent packaging that preserves the product's shape and reduces damage or loss during transport and storage.

Since packaging is an essential part of the production process, it must be managed professionally, and this is where the pivotal role of advanced packaging systems, which Ramasco uses for all its products, becomes apparent.

1. Integration between machines and rollers

For best results, the plastic wrapping rolls must be compatible with the type of machinery used. This compatibility prevents uneven tearing or shrinkage of the film during operation.

Ramasco offers rolls designed to precise standards to flow smoothly on production lines without interruption or malfunctions. Each roll is tested before marketing to ensure the highest performance and operational stability.

2. Reduce waste and increase productivity

Every second in the production line represents a cost, and using the appropriate rolls helps reduce the time required for the packaging process.

Thanks to the flexible materials adopted by Ramasco, you can achieve rapid packaging without the need for rework or material waste.

Uniform shrinkage also ensures a uniform final appearance that increases the product's value in the eyes of the consumer.

3. Protection during transport and storage

One of the most important roles of packaging rolls is to protect the product from moisture, dust, and scratches. When the roll material is high-density and of controlled thickness, it forms an effective shield that prevents any external damage.

Therefore, Ramasco selects pure, tear-resistant materials to ensure that the product remains in its original condition from the production line until it reaches the customer.

4. Enhance the product's marketing image

Good packaging not only protects, it sells too, as the shine and transparency of plastic wrap rolls give products a professional look that catches the eye on the shelves.

This makes Ramasco rolls an ideal choice for companies that want to showcase their products in a way that reflects their quality and brand confidence.

Types of packaging rolls and their basic specifications

Choosing the ideal roller varies depending on the nature of the product and the type of use, as each type has technical and design characteristics that make it more suitable for a particular field.
