Palletizing, Shrink Wrapping & Pallet Rework in Toronto

Palletizing decides whether everything after it goes smoothly: a carrier accepts or refuses by what the pallet looks like, and a claim is won or lost on how the load was stacked. We do this work all day at our Toronto warehouse: loose and floor-loaded freight palletized to your carton count and height spec, shrink-wrapped, banded, labelled and staged for pickup.

The same crews fix what arrives wrong: a leaning, crushed or snapped-pallet load is restacked, re-wrapped and photographed for your carrier claim, usually back out the same day.

Service request

Request palletizing or wrapping

The form asks what the freight is, how it arrives and how it should leave: palletizing and shrink wrapping are pre-selected, and rework or storage can be ticked onto the same request.

  • Pallet counts, weights and arrival mode asked up front
  • One-off jobs and recurring programs both welcome
  • Priced by dispatch, as soon as possible

Palletization services: loose freight onto carrier-ready pallets

Freight arrives loose more often than anyone plans: floor-loaded containers, courier overflow, returns, trade-show teardown, a production run that outgrew its packaging. Our crews palletize it to whatever standard the next leg demands — carton count per layer, height limits for the destination racking, weight caps per pallet, heat-treated pallets for export, labels matched line by line to the packing list. The load is photographed stacked and wrapped, so what left our dock is on record.

  • Export palletizing on heat-treated ISPM-15 pallets
  • Carton labelling matched to the packing list

  • Same-day turnaround for freight received by morning

Commercial shrink wrapping, banding and load securement

Wrapping is what keeps a good pallet good. We machine- and hand-wrap to the tension the load actually needs, band heavy or rigid freight with poly or steel strapping, add corner boards and top caps where the stack calls for them, and black-wrap loads that should not advertise their contents in transit. For freight heading into a container or across the border, the same securement standards we use on our own container loading and cross-border work apply.

Fixing broken pallets and damaged cargo

The emergency version of this service is the one clients remember. A receiver refuses a leaning load; a carrier drops a pallet and the corner cartons are crushed; freight lands on a pallet that snapped somewhere along the way. We take the load in, transfer the freight to new pallets, restack and re-wrap it to spec, document the damage with photos and counts for your carrier claim, and send it back out — usually the same day, so a refused delivery becomes a next-day redelivery instead of a lost week. Crews can also come to your dock when the freight cannot move.

  • Transfer to new pallets; broken pallets disposed of
  • Crushed or leaning loads restacked and re-wrapped
  • Damage photographed and counted for the carrier claim
  • Salvage sort: good stock separated from damaged
  • Same-day turnaround in most cases

FAQ

Palletizing & Shrink Wrapping: frequently asked questions

What is palletization?
Taking loose, floor-loaded or badly stacked freight and building it into stable, carrier-ready pallets: stacked to a spec, wrapped, banded where needed, and labelled. It is the difference between freight a carrier accepts at first sight and freight that gets refused at the dock.
How much does palletizing cost in Toronto?
Per pallet for work at our dock, based on carton count and weight; hourly with a minimum call-out for crews at your facility. Materials — pallets, film, banding, corner boards — are itemized at cost. Recurring programs get a rate card.
Can you fix a load that was refused or arrived on broken pallets?
Yes, and usually the same day: freight transferred to new pallets, restacked, re-wrapped and photographed, with the damage documented for your carrier claim so the redelivery goes out while the paperwork is still warm.
Do you do commercial shrink wrapping on its own?
Yes. Pallets that are already stacked can come in just for wrapping, banding, corner boards or black opaque wrap — priced per pallet, same-day turnaround.
Can you palletize for export?
Yes: heat-treated ISPM-15 pallets where the destination requires them, export-grade wrapping and banding, and hand-off straight into our container loading or ocean freight services on the same dock.
Do you come to our warehouse, or does the freight come to you?
Either. Most one-off jobs run through our Toronto dock; recurring work or freight that cannot move is handled by a crew at your GTA facility, with materials brought along.
