BINGOPLAS BUYER ANSWER

Short answer.
Both formats can work when the gauge, net film weight, core and wrapper compatibility are correct. A 5,000 ft roll usually reduces roll changes but may be heavier and larger. A 3,500 ft roll may fit certain equipment or handling preferences better. Confirm roll diameter, core, gross weight, pre-stretch setting and downtime caused by roll changes before selecting the program.
