MACHINE GRADE STRETCH FILM
How to choose machine grade stretch film for pallet wrappers.
Machine grade stretch film should be selected as part of a wrapping system. The roll, wrapper, pallet load and operating target all affect whether the film runs cleanly and holds the load.

BUYER DECISION FIELDS
Compare machine film by operating result, not only gauge.
A lower-gauge film can be the better value only if it runs on the wrapper and keeps the load stable. The table below shows the information a serious buyer should collect before switching.
FieldWhy it matters
Wrapper modelConfirms whether the machine can handle the proposed roll, diameter, core and film behavior.
Pre-stretch carriageDetermines how much film extension happens before the film reaches the pallet.
Film tensionToo much tension can cause breaks or crushed cartons; too little can allow load movement.
Applied film weightShows real consumption per pallet and supports cost-per-pallet comparison.
PRACTICAL TRIAL METHOD
Use a measured pallet trial before converting.
Run comparable loads
Use the same pallet type, wrap pattern, line speed and handling route for each candidate film.
Measure accepted pallets
Compare load condition, applied film weight, roll yield and downtime after normal handling.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Machine grade stretch film questions.
What is machine grade stretch film?
Machine grade stretch film is pallet wrap designed to run on semi-automatic or automatic stretch wrappers. It should be matched to the wrapper, carriage, film tension, pre-stretch setting and load containment target.
Can one machine grade stretch wrap fit every wrapper?
No. Wrapper condition, carriage type, roll handling, line speed and pallet shape can change performance. A trial on representative loads is the safest way to confirm the film.
What should buyers send for a machine stretch film quote?
Send current film label, width, gauge or micron, roll length or net film weight, core, wrapper model, pre-stretch setting, pallet weight, load shape and delivery ZIP code.
