For light, uniform loads (boxes of similar size, no sharp edges) 60-70 gauge is often enough. For heavier mixed loads or longer transit, 80-90 gauge is the common workhorse range. 120 gauge and above is for very heavy or sharp-edged loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCast vs. blown — what is the practical difference?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCast film is quieter, clearer, and has a one-sided cling that helps the film stick to itself layer-to-layer — good for general-purpose hand wrapping. Blown film is louder coming off the roll but has higher puncture and tear resistance and better load retention under stress — preferred for sharp-edged or heavy loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need a dispenser?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA hand dispenser is strongly recommended for daily use — it lets you tension the film as you walk, giving tighter wraps with less film and less hand fatigue.
