Secure your shipments sustainably

In today's sustainability-driven world, reducing plastic waste is no longer optional – it's essential. Traditional palletising methods rely heavily on shrink wrap and other non-recyclable materials, contributing to environmental harm and increased costs. Henkel's innovative palletising hot melt adhesives offer a smarter, sustainable solution that enhances stability, reduces waste, and improves overall efficiency. By adopting this technology, brands can achieve significant cost savings while demonstrating their commitment to sustainability.

Optimize your palletizing process

With growing pressure from regulations like the PPWR, reducing material use and improving packaging recyclability is not optional, but necessary. Our Technomelt® solution helps customers to reduce or completely eliminate the need for shrink film.

FAQ

Palletizing glue is a hot melt adhesive used to improve the stability of palletized goods during storage and transportation. It is typically applied in small spray patterns between layers of cases, trays, bags, or multipacks during pallet formation. It creates an anti-slip effect that helps maintain load integrity while allowing products to be separated easily when the pallet is unpacked.

Palletizing adhesives can reduce or, in some applications, replace the need for stretch wrap or shrink film. Whether they are a suitable alternative depends on factors such as product type, pallet configuration, transport conditions, distribution requirements, and load stability targets. 

Palletizing adhesives help maintain pallet integrity throughout handling, transportation, and warehousing operations by preventing layer-to-layer movement, shifting, sliding, and leaning of pallet loads. This can contribute to more reliable logistics performance, fewer damaged goods, and smoother operation within automated palletizing, warehousing, and logistics systems.

Palletizing adhesives can support sustainability goals by reducing the amount of stretch wrap, shrink film, and other packaging materials needed to stabilize pallet loads. Using less packaging material can help reduce plastic consumption and the amount of packaging waste generated throughout the supply chain.

Palletizing adhesives can help lower packaging costs by reducing the amount of secondary stabilization material required for each pallet load Additional savings may come from reduced product damage during transport. The overall cost impact depends on the product, pallet configuration, and operational requirements.
