BINGOPLAS SPECIFICATION GUIDE
20 inch 80 gauge machine stretch film: what buyers should confirm.
Many U.S. buyers search by size first: 20 inch, 80 gauge, 5,000 ft, machine film. Those words are useful, but the purchase decision should also confirm wrapper compatibility, roll weight, load containment and cost per successfully wrapped pallet.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
20 inch machine stretch film questions.
What does 20 inch 80 gauge machine stretch film usually mean?
It usually describes a machine-applied stretch film roll that is 20 inches wide with a nominal 80 gauge thickness. Buyers should also confirm roll length, net film weight, core size, pallet pack, resin type and wrapper compatibility before comparing quotes.
Is 80 gauge machine film still the right starting point?
80 gauge is a common reference point, but many operations can test higher-performance downgauged film when the wrapper, load profile and containment target support it. The right choice should be validated by applied film weight and successful pallets per roll.
What information should I send for a machine film quote?
Send the current film label, wrapper make and model, pre-stretch setting, pallet dimensions, approximate load weight, monthly pallet volume and any issues such as breaks, punctures or load movement.
