Stretch Film for Pallet Wrapping

Compare hand, machine, pre-stretched and colored stretch film around the way your operation wraps, moves and stores pallet loads.

CORE PRODUCT FAMILIES

Start with the wrapping method before comparing price.

A useful stretch film quote should identify width, gauge or micron, roll length or net film weight, core, case pack, pallet pack and the real operating condition of the load.

HOW BUYERS SHOULD CHOOSE

Use these questions to avoid comparing the wrong film.

Roll price alone can hide differences in length, net film weight, stretch performance and pallets wrapped per roll. Use product format first, then verify cost per successfully wrapped pallet.

STRETCH FILM FAQ

Answers for buyers comparing pallet film.

What is stretch film?

Stretch film is an elastic plastic film used to unitize and stabilize products on a pallet. Buyers should match the film format, width, thickness, roll construction and application method to the load and wrapping process.

Is stretch film the same as stretch wrap?

In warehouse purchasing, stretch film and stretch wrap usually describe the same pallet-wrapping material. Product specifications matter more than which of the two terms appears on a quote.

How do I choose between hand and machine stretch film?

Use hand film for manual wrapping and machine film for compatible automatic or semi-automatic pallet wrappers. Confirm the wrapper model, load profile, current roll label and monthly volume before changing film.

What information is needed for a stretch film quote?

Provide the current label or specification, width, gauge or micron, roll length or net film weight, core, case or pallet quantity, wrapping method, monthly volume and delivery ZIP code.
