Stretch Film & Strapping

SELECTION EXPERT ADVICE

Hand vs Machine Stretch Film
MORE INFO
Hand stretch film is designed for manual wrapping of individual pallets and does not require a stretch wrap machine. Machine-length film is engineered for turntable and rotary arm wrappers, with a thinner gauge and higher elongation that delivers better load containment at lower cost per pallet when volume is high.
Strapping Material by Load Weight
MORE INFO
Polypropylene strapping handles loads up to approximately 300 lbs with good elongation to absorb shock in transit. Polyester strapping offers higher break strength and better load retention for heavier industrial shipments. Steel strapping is reserved for the heaviest loads, sharp-edged products, and applications where elongation would compromise load security.
Pre-Stretch Ratio and Film Yield
MORE INFO
Pre-stretch ratios determine how much film you apply per pallet. A 200% pre-stretch means one inch of film stretches to three inches, reducing your film consumption per pallet significantly. Higher pre-stretch ratios lower material cost but require compatible dispensers or machines to achieve consistently.
