Pallet Wrap & Stretch Film

Start by anchoring the film at the base of the pallet, then wrap upward in overlapping spiral layers while applying consistent tension, covering the load at least 2-3 times. Finish by wrapping back down to the base and cutting the film cleanly. Proper tension and full coverage prevent load shifting and product damage in transit.

Vented stretch film features small perforations that allow air circulation while still securing palletized loads. It's commonly used for wrapping produce, boxes with ventilation needs, or products that require airflow to prevent moisture buildup, condensation, or spoilage during storage and transport.

Stretch film gauge typically ranges from 47 to 120 gauge depending on load weight and stability requirements. Lighter, uniform loads may only need 60-70 gauge film, while heavier or irregular loads benefit from thicker films around 80-120 gauge for maximum containment force and puncture resistance.

Yes, stretch film can protect palletized goods stored outdoors temporarily, shielding against dust, moisture, and minor weather exposure. For extended outdoor storage, UV-resistant or heavier-gauge films are recommended to prevent premature film degradation and maintain load integrity over longer periods.

Hand wrap is designed for manual application using a handheld dispenser, typically for lower-volume or irregular wrapping needs. Machine wrap is engineered for automated stretch wrap machines, offering higher stretch capabilities and consistent tension for high-volume palletizing operations in warehouses and distribution centers.

Consider load weight, shape, and stability needs, along with storage and shipping conditions. Heavier or irregular loads need thicker, high-tensile film, while ventilated products may require vented film. Our team can help match the right film type and gauge to your specific packaging and shipping requirements.
