Automatic Stretch Wrapper with Scales Solution to Public Defense Sector

A major Australian defence logistics operation was seeking to improve pallet handling processes within its distribution facility to better manage ongoing inventory movement and outbound freight requirements. With a strong focus on workplace efficiency, load control, and streamlined warehouse procedures, the organisation required an automated wrapping system capable of supporting fast-paced operational demands.

Following a detailed site assessment, Gateway Packaging supplied the Paxum® Stretch Wrap Machine with Scale — X1 to simplify end-of-line packaging and improve load management across the warehouse. From the initial installation, the system helped reduce operator workload, improve wrapping accuracy, and create a more consistent packing process for transported goods. Gateway Packaging also conducted onsite operator training, allowing staff to quickly integrate the machine into daily warehouse activities. Key features included an integrated pallet weighing system, LCD touch screen controls, automatic photoelectric height detection, automatic film cutter, and high-performance 400% film pre-stretch capability. The outcome was improved throughput, lower consumable usage, and a more controlled packaging operation across the facility.

Gateway Packaging delivers intelligent packaging systems designed to support high-demand warehouse environments across Australia. Through tailored automation strategies and hands-on industry expertise, Gateway Packaging continues to help organisations strengthen productivity, improve operational performance, and future-proof their logistics operations.
