Understanding Upcoming Tariff Changes for Stretch Wrapping Equipment

Aug 11, 2026

Industry Update: What Upcoming Tariff Changes Could Mean for Stretch Wrapping Equipment and Parts
As manufacturers, distributors, and equipment buyers plan upcoming packaging investments and aftermarket needs, recent U.S. tariff changes are creating new questions around the potential cost and availability of certain stretch wrapping equipment and replacement parts entering the United States.
Beginning August 19, 2026, an additional 50% tariff is scheduled to apply to certain Canadian-origin products imported into the U.S. Published product classifications include certain packing and wrapping machinery, along with related parts.
For companies evaluating stretch wrapping equipment or planning future parts purchases, understanding where equipment is manufactured and how replacement parts are sourced may become an increasingly important part of the purchasing decision.
What This Means for Orion Customers and Distribution Partners
Orion Stretch Wrappers are manufactured in the United States and supported through our U.S.-based operations. As a result, Orion-manufactured stretch wrapping equipment is not directly subject to the tariff affecting Canadian-origin imports.
Customers should keep in mind that tariff impacts can vary depending on the equipment manufacturer, product classification, country of origin, and sourcing strategy. Organizations purchasing new equipment or maintaining an existing installed base may want to speak directly with their equipment suppliers to understand whether upcoming tariff changes could affect machine pricing, replacement parts, inventory, or future service needs.
At Orion, our focus remains on providing stretch wrapping solutions supported by responsive parts availability, technical expertise, service, and long-term support throughout the life of the equipment.
As the August 19 effective date approaches, we will continue monitoring developments and sharing information that may help our customers and distribution partners make informed purchasing and equipment planning decisions.
