How long does it take to break even with REUSA-WRAPS?

Most customers wrapping 50 pallets per day break even within 9 months of switching to REUSA-WRAPS from traditional stretch film. The exact break-even point depends on your daily pallet volume and current stretch film costs.

How much plastic waste does my company generate from stretch film?

A company wrapping 50 pallets per day sends approximately 108,000 lbs of plastic stretch film to the landfill annually. Switching to REUSA-WRAPS reduces that number to 0 lbs sent to landfill.

What is the annual cost of stretch film for a typical operation?

At an average cost of $8 per roll of stretch film covering 12 pallets, a facility wrapping 50 pallets per day spends approximately $12,000 per year on stretch film alone — not including disposal/tipping fees.

What’s Included in Your Savings Calculation?

A true pallet wrap cost comparison goes beyond material pricing. Our model includes:

Film Cost Elimination

Traditional film is a recurring expense. Understanding how much does stretch film costs annually reveals a hidden operational drain, especially at scale.

Disposal & Tipping Fees

Stretch film waste contributes significantly to landfill costs. Switching solutions supports measurable stretch film waste reduction, eliminating ongoing disposal charges.

Labor Efficiency Gains

Reusable wraps reduce wrapping time, improving throughput. This directly impacts labor allocation and warehouse productivity metrics.

Case Study: Proven Cost Reduction

A Mid-Size Distributor Saves $15,000 Over Two Years

A logistics operation running 50 pallets per day made the switch to 50 REUSA-WRAPS units. Within 9 months, the wraps had paid for themselves — and by the end of year two, the company had banked $15,000 in documented savings from eliminated film purchases, zero tipping fees, and faster wrap cycles. This is exactly the kind of eco packaging ROI our customers come back to tell us about.

Common Questions

Everything You've Been Wondering

If you're researching what it actually takes to switch to reusable pallet wrap, these are the questions we hear most. Plain answers only.

For most customers running 50 pallets a day… breakeven happens in about 9 months. Higher-volume operations often see it sooner. The calculator above gives you a number specific to your situation — it's the clearest way to see where your crossover point falls.

On average, our wraps last 3 years with regular commercial use. That's three years of zero film purchases, zero disposal fees, and zero petroleum waste — across every pallet you ship.

Run the calculator on this page with your real numbers. Then fill out the form above, and we'll build a custom savings estimate for your operation — including recommended unit count, projected breakeven, and long-term savings over 3 years. No commitment required.

Not at all. Even smaller operations wrapping 10–20 pallets a day see meaningful savings. The breakeven timeline might be a bit longer, but the ongoing cost advantage of reusable wrap holds at any volume. Our calculator lets you model your exact size.

It factors in your film purchase cost, disposal and tipping fees, and labor hours spent applying and removing wrap. Most online calculators only look at film cost — ours gives you the full picture, so there are no surprises after you switch.

Use the calculator above with your actual daily pallet count, your roll cost, and how many pallets you typically get per roll. The total updates in real time, so you can see your exact annual spend — and what you'd keep by switching.
