Frequently asked
What's the difference between gauge and mil?
Gauge = mil × 100. So 80 gauge = 0.80 mil. Gauge is the traditional industry term; mil is the metric-equivalent thickness.
Can I use thicker gauge for all loads?
Wasteful — thicker film costs more and uses more material per pallet. Match gauge to actual load weight for cost efficiency.
Is machine wrap thinner than hand wrap?
Yes — machine pre-stretch wraps achieve equivalent retention at 30-50% thinner gauge. Worth the equipment investment at 25+ pallets/day.
