Bundling Stretch Film

Bundling stretch film is typically available in narrower widths such as 12 inches, which is ideal for wrapping small bundles, grouped cases, and compact loads. Standard pallet wrap widths of 15, 18, and 20 inches are also stocked for broader wrapping applications. The 12-inch width is the most common choice specifically for bundling use cases.

For most bundling applications, gauges between 47 and 80 are sufficient. Lighter gauges like 47 or 60 work well for lightweight case bundles, while 70 or 80 gauge provides extra holding strength for heavier or sharp-cornered grouped items. Blown film options offer higher puncture resistance for more demanding bundling tasks.

Cast stretch film unwinds quietly, maintains a consistent gauge, and is easier to stretch by hand — making it the standard choice for most bundling applications. Blown stretch film offers superior puncture and tear resistance, making it better suited for bundling heavy or sharp-cornered items. Both types are available in narrow bundling widths.

Yes, narrow-width bundling stretch film is fully compatible with hand-held dispensers, including extended-handle, brake-tension, and ergonomic models. Using a dispenser improves wrapping consistency, reduces hand fatigue, and increases operator efficiency — particularly in high-volume bundling environments like 3PL facilities and distribution centers.

Yes, bundling stretch film is available in a range of colors including red, blue, black, white, and yellow in addition to standard clear and tinted options. Colored films are particularly useful for inventory marking, load identification, and organizing bundled shipments by product type, destination, or priority level within a warehouse or distribution facility.
