Wrap Tighter. Protect Better. Ship Smarter.
From bottles to cans, your beverage loads need protection that keeps up with the rigors of shipping
The Rapid Bander Sustainable Load Containment System minimizes load failures while lowering the economic and environmental costs of shipping heavy, high-risk palletized products.
Our two-roll system provides the ultimate in containment while reducing stretch wrap usage by up to 60% and increasing throughput by 25%.
The Bottling Breakthrough:
55% Less Film, Faster Throughput, Zero Performance Loss55% Film Reduction
Our nationwide research found a major bottled water company was using an average of 8.97 ounces of stretch film on pallets delivered to major retailers. The Rapid Bander system wrapped those same pallets with 4 ounces of film or less; that’s a 55% reduction!
The Bottling Breakthrough:
55% Less Film, Faster Throughput, Zero Performance Loss30% Efficiency Improvement
The Rapid Bander system provided superior load containment with less machine time wrapping pallets. Not only did this speed up production, but it also reduced bottlenecks and stretch wrap machine maintenance, improving machine throughput and eliminated the need for additional stretch wrappers and the purchase of other capital equipment.
The Bottling Breakthrough:
55% Less Film, Faster Throughput, Zero Performance Loss1+ Million Less Pounds of Plastic
Rapid Bander is the best sustainability option for the beverage industry. Recycling makes sense for bottles and cans, but cutting unnecessary stretch film or other secondary packaging prevents plastic and other materials from entering the waste stream in the first place. Eliminating unnecessary film saved this bottled water producer 1 million pounds of plastic annually, without sacrificing performance.
The Hidden Cost of Load Failures, and How One Energy Drink Company Turned Losses into 100%+ Savings
ZERO Load Failures
A popular energy drink company had a problem: their loads didn’t have the stamina to go the distance. On long-haul shipments, pallets of canned energy drinks were collapsing in transit and leading to lost product and rejected loads. They knew who to call.
Rapid Technologies was immediately onsite with one of our nationwide account managers and field service engineers who solved the issue with Rapid Bander. By developing a custom load containment standard, they eliminated pallet failures and helped their energy drinks make it across the finish line every time.The Hidden Cost of Load Failures, and How One Energy Drink Company Turned Losses into 100%+ Savings

They felt the energy we immediately brought into their operation without the need to sign a contract or purchase new equipment. Rapid Technologies took care of everything, from setup and optimization to ongoing service visits that maintain their system, all at no additional cost and with no contracts required.
Every Pallet on Standard –
Load Containment with Cost ControlA large soft drink producer wanted to ensure every pallet was wrapped to the correct load containment standard while controlling cost. Not too little to risk damage, and not too much to waste film. They turned to Rapid IQ to monitor every pallet in real time, verifying film usage, stretch levels, and containment performance.
Rapid IQ ensures consistent performance while controlling costs 24/7.
Real-Time Alerts That Stop Bad Pallets
Before They ShipWhen wrapping conditions change, problems can go unnoticed until damaged or rejected pallets arrive at their destination. Rapid IQ works silently in the background, tracking every pallet and alerting the team only when something goes wrong. When an unauthorized change happened at this facility, the team was immediately notified with real-time text alerts.
With Rapid IQ’s help the issue was corrected before a single bad pallet shipped, preventing rejected loads, freight damage, and lost product.
Preventing Downtime Before It Happens
After several months of normal operation, Rapid IQ detected a gradual decline in machine performance that would have eventually led to failure. The Rapid Technologies team notified the customer of the problem, diagnosed the issue, ordered the necessary parts, and scheduled onsite repairs before the machine failed. The result:
ZERO unplanned downtime, zero wasted product,
and uninterrupted production.
ELIMINATE FREIGHT DAMAGE
If it happens on the road, we test for it.
Inside our Rapid Lab, pallets face real-world abuse—sudden stops, rapid acceleration, road vibration, and steep uphill and downhill movement—so your beverage loads stay protected where it matters most: in transit.
ADVANCED LOAD CONTAINMENT SYSTEM
Rapid Bander is a dual-roll system that turns your existing stretch wrapper into a high-performance load containment machine.
We attach the Rapid Bander to your existing stretch wrap equipment, at no capital investment cost to you.
Rapid Bander applies a double layer of our patented Rapid Film to your pallets – one full web roll and one split roll. The film is specially engineered to achieve unheard of levels of pre-stretch, for unmatched containment force.
The Rapid Bander device narrows the split roll film into bands, creating ultra-high-strength filaments which are incorporated into the full roll. This creates a web that is virtually unbreakable, resists additional stretching during transport, and ties the load to the pallet to prevent product shifting.
You’ll wrap pallets faster with about half the film, superior load containment, less waste, and lower cost per pallet.
