If your products arrive at a distribution center with shifted loads, torn packaging, or dust contamination, you face costly rejections and immediate delays.
Loose freight is a liability that your bottom line cannot afford. You need a partner who treats containment as a science rather than an afterthought. At 18 Wheels Warehousing & Trucking, we provide industrial grade shrink wrapping services at our 200,000 square foot facility in Rocky View County. No matter what you’re moving, we determine the best protection strategy.
We Utilize the Best Shrink Wrap for Reliable Distribution
Shipping across Alberta’s varied terrain requires a level of load security that hand-wrapping simply cannot provide.
Retail giants like Costco and Walmart have strict intake requirements for pallet tension and presentation. Our automated equipment applies consistent, high-gauge tension to every pallet, shielding your cargo from the environmental hazards of the road.
- We utilize advanced materials and technology to provide several distinct advantages for your long-haul freight:
- High-gauge industrial film that creates a puncture-resistant barrier for heavy or sharp-edged loads.
- Heat-shrunk seals that provide a tamper-evident layer for high-value consumer goods.
- Full 5-side coverage to block out warehouse dust and moisture during transit.
- UV-stabilized wraps for cargo staged in our gated storage yard.
This level of containment significantly reduces the risk of insurance claims while ensuring your brand arrives in pristine condition. By automating this process, we deliver a level of durability that manual labor cannot match.
Shrink Wrap Bundles Give You Greater Market Reach
Shrink wrapping is more than just a safety measure, it is a tool for rapid market adaptation.
Many of our clients use our Rocky View County facility to pivot their inventory strategy without shipping goods back to the point of manufacture. We help you reconfigure your stock locally, allowing you to meet shifting consumer demands with precision and speed.
Our team provides the following specialized services to help you customize your inventory for specific retail channels:
- Multi-pack bundling for "club store" configurations and seasonal promotions.
- High-clarity gloss films that maintain brand visibility on the retail shelf.
- Custom kitting that combines different SKUs into a single, shrink-wrapped unit.
- Automated labeling is applied directly to the film for seamless inventory tracking.
These local conversion services allow you to scale your operations without the massive overhead of managing a specialized packaging line yourself.
