Pallet Base Wraps for Food & Beverage

Pallet wrap strength varies by film gauge and stretch ratio. Most industrial stretch films offer significant puncture resistance and cling force capable of securing loads of several thousand pounds. For food and beverage operations with heavy or irregularly shaped loads, selecting the correct gauge ensures maximum load integrity and protection during transit.

Yes, stretch films used in food and beverage applications are typically manufactured to be food-contact safe. They are designed to protect packaged goods from contamination, moisture, and dust without transferring harmful substances. Always confirm product specifications with your supplier to ensure compliance with your facility's food safety requirements.

Hand wrap stretch film is applied manually and is suited for lower-volume operations or irregular loads. Machine stretch film is designed for automated or semi-automated pallet wrappers, offering higher efficiency and consistency. For high-throughput food and beverage facilities, machine film typically delivers better cost-per-pallet economics and more uniform load containment.

The amount of stretch film required depends on pallet height, load weight, film gauge, and wrap pattern. On average, a standard pallet may require 100–200 linear feet of film.
