Elisha Upgrades Pallet Wrapping Line — Stronger Sea Freight Protection for Carbonated Drinks in PET
Xiamen Elisha Mineral Water Co., Ltd. has installed a new automatic stretch wrapping machine at its production facility, marking another step in the company's ongoing effort to strengthen export logistics for its fruit flavoured sparkling drinks.
The new machine, now fully operational in the finished product area, applies high-tension stretch film to every pallet before dispatch. This ensures that cartons of carbonated drinks in PET cans remain tightly secured during transit — a critical detail when shipping heavy liquid cargo by sea.
Why Pallet Wrapping Matters for Beverage Exports
Shipping fruit flavoured sparkling drinks internationally presents a unique logistics challenge. Each 350ml PET can is filled with carbonated liquid, making every carton dense and heavy. A standard 24-can carton can weigh over 8 kilograms. Multiply that across a full pallet, and the load demands serious structural integrity.
"Sea freight is the only practical option for beverage exports," said a production supervisor at Elisha. "Air freight would make the unit cost unsustainable for our B2B buyers. But with ocean shipping, pallets endure weeks of vibration, stacking pressure, and handling at multiple ports. Without proper wrapping, carton collapse is a real risk."
The new stretch wrapping machine addresses this directly. By applying consistent, high-tension film around the entire pallet — including corner posts for vertical reinforcement — the system creates a single stable unit that resists shifting, tilting, and moisture exposure throughout the journey.
From Factory Floor to Destination Port — Intact
For Elisha's international buyers — supermarkets, distributors, and brand owners across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, North America, and Europe — this upgrade translates into one thing: fewer damaged goods claims.
Damaged cartons and dented PET cans are among the most common complaints in beverage logistics. They eat into margins, delay restocking, and — in worst cases — force buyers to write off entire pallets. By investing in automated pallet wrapping, Elisha reduces this risk at the source.
A 30-Year Factory That Keeps Improving
Founded over three decades ago, Xiamen Elisha Mineral Water Co., Ltd. specializes in the OEM and private-label production of carbonated soft drinks in 330ml and 350ml transparent PET cans. All products are manufactured under HACCP and ISO 22000 food safety management systems and hold Halal certification.
The company's formulations use sucralose as the primary sweetener — with no aspartame and no phenylalanine — catering to growing global demand for clean-label, zero-sugar sparkling beverages.
Elisha was an exhibitor at THAIFEX-ANUGA ASIA 2026 and continues to expand its international footprint, most recently completing a 4,200-carton export to Europe.
