Polyethylene
Polyethylene trading was notably lighter than it was during the past several weeks. There was a little lull in producer offerings this week, but not enough to alter market sentiment, which remains slightly negative from this price point. There was previously a good flurry of activity as some processors had run their inventories down and had to restock.

Polypropylene

The Polypropylene market slowed from its active pace and trading volume was only considered about average. PP production was finally reduced in September, largely due to planned and unplanned reactor maintenance; we are just now starting to see a lighter flow of railcar material. While overall resin availability remains ample, processors continue to pick away at resellers’ aged inventories, which have been the lowest priced material in the market

Why Reinforced Edges on Pallet Wrap?

When it comes to shipping and storage, the stability of the pallet is paramount.  Pallet wrap, also known as stretch film or stretch wrap, is a highly stretchable plastic film that secures items tightly together. But not all pallet wraps are created equal. The inclusion of reinforced edges makes some stretch films stand out in the realm of shipment protection. So, what exactly does this mean, and why should businesses care? Before delving into the specifics of reinforced edges, it is essential to understand the role of pallet wrap.
