Tail Tucker

ITW Muller
Arlington Heights, III.

ITW Muller's Tail Tucker is a product that ensures no loose film tails occur on stretch-wrapped pallets, 50 construction manufacturers and suppliers can rest assured their pallets won't come unraveled due to weather or handling. Stretch-wrapped loads typically are secured through a heat seal technology or are manually affixed. In both instances, the end or "tail" of the film has a tendency to come loose, especially if the load is in contact with wind or rain. The Tail Tucker works by literally tucking the film tail behind the last two full webs of fim.
