Distribution Center Packaging

Workers in a Distribution environment with boxes

Packaging Solutions Built for Throughput, Load Stability, and Cost Per Pallet Optimization

Distribution centers don’t ship orders—they move pallets. At high volumes, small inefficiencies multiply quickly, impacting labour, material costs, and product integrity in transit.

With decades of experience supporting high-volume distribution and supply chain operations, Gertex Solutions helps businesses:

  • Increase throughput across end-of-line packaging
  • Improve pallet stability and load containment
  • Reduce material usage and cost per pallet
  • Standardize packaging across lanes, facilities, and teams


Whether you're managing retail distribution, B2B shipments, or multi-site operations, we help you build a packaging system designed for speed, consistency, and scale.

DISTRIBUTION CENTER PACKAGING MATERIALS & AUTOMATION SOLUTIONS

Packaging Materials

Packaging in distribution centers is built for performance at scale; it protects your product, stabilizes your loads, and directly impacts your cost per pallet. The right materials don’t just move shipments; they improve throughput, reduce damage, and drive consistency across every lane.

Stretch Film

Optimize load stability while reducing film consumption with high-performance stretch films designed for high-volume pallet wrapping environments.

We offer a full range of machine-grade, pre-stretch, and high-performance films engineered to deliver consistent containment across all load types—while lowering your cost per pallet.

Strapping applied to a pallet of uniform boxes

Strapping (PET / PP / Steel)

Secure pallet loads with reliable strapping solutions designed for heavy, mixed, or high-risk shipments.

From lightweight polypropylene to high-tensile PET and steel strapping, we help you select the right solution based on load weight, transport conditions, and automation requirements.


Angleboard & Edge Protectors

Reinforce pallet loads and protect edges from crushing, strapping damage, and transit pressure.

Angleboard and edge protection improve stacking strength while helping distribute tension evenly across the load—making them essential for stable, damage-free shipments.


Corrugated Pads

Improve load stability and protect products within palletized shipments using corrugated pads designed for high-volume distribution environments.

Placed between layers or on top of pallets, corrugated pads help distribute weight evenly, reduce product shifting, and protect against compression damage—making them a simple but effective way to strengthen pallet integrity.

Corrugate Boxes

Built for high-volume distribution environments, corrugate boxes are the foundation of consistent, efficient palletization and shipment handling.

From standardized RSCs to custom-sized cartons, the right corrugate solution helps streamline picking, packing, and pallet building while protecting products through storage and transit.


Gaylord Boxes

Handle bulk products and high-volume material movement with heavy-duty Gaylord boxes designed for durability and efficiency in distribution environments.

Ideal for consolidating loose, irregular, or large quantities of product, Gaylords simplify handling, reduce touchpoints, and improve workflow across receiving, storage, and outbound operations.

Poly Sheeting & Protective Covers

Add an extra layer of protection for palletized loads with poly sheeting designed to guard against moisture, dust, and environmental exposure.

Cut & Weigh Testing

In high-throughput distribution centers, even small inefficiencies in stretch wrapping can scale into significant costs across thousands of pallets per day. Overwrapping, inconsistent machine settings, and outdated film selections often go unnoticed—but they directly impact your bottom line, load stability, and operational consistency.

Our cut and weigh testing gives you precise visibility into your actual film usage and performance, helping you standardize wrapping across shifts, lanes, and facilities while reducing unnecessary spend.

Reduce Cost Per
Pallet at Scale

Identify excess film use and optimize wrap cycles to reduce costs without sacrificing load integrity.

Improve Load Stability
 in Transit

Optimize containment force to keep pallets secure through handling and transport.

Minimize Waste & Support Sustainability Goals

Use only the film needed to reduce waste and support sustainability targets.

Standardize Across Shifts
& Facilities

Eliminate inconsistencies with data-driven settings that ensure repeatable performance.

PACKAGING EQUIPMENT BUILT FOR DISTRIBUTION CENTERS
