Abstract
A method for increasing unit load efficiency may include providing a pallet, forming a stack on the pallet, and wrapping the stack with an elastically deformable substrate under an applied force to reduce one or more of an initial maximum stack length to a compressed maximum stack length or an initial maximum stack width to a compressed maximum stack width. Upon compression the compressed maximum stack length may be from about 1% to about 10% greater than the pallet length, and the compressed maximum stack width may be from about 1% to about 15% greater than the pallet width.
