Colored Pallet Wrap & Stretch Film

Take 2 Direct's colored stretch film is available in red, blue, black, white, and yellow, in addition to clear and tinted options. Each color can be used to differentiate load types, shift assignments, priority levels, or destination zones — making inventory management and visual tracking far more efficient across busy warehouse environments.

Plastic wrap used to secure pallets is called stretch film or pallet wrap. It is made from LLDPE (linear low-density polyethylene) and is applied either by hand using a dispenser or by machine. It comes in clear, tinted, and fully colored options. Common industry terms include hand stretch film, machine stretch film, and pallet wrap.

Cling wrap (household plastic wrap) is thin, food-safe film designed for light-duty wrapping of food items. Pallet wrap — also called stretch film — is a heavy-duty LLDPE film engineered to secure and unitize loads on pallets. Pallet wrap is significantly thicker (47–115 gauge), stronger, and available in extended lengths up to 9,000 ft per roll for industrial use.

Yes. Colored stretch film is available for both hand application and machine application. Hand film typically comes in 18 in and 20 in widths for use with hand-held or extended-core dispensers. Machine-grade colored film is compatible with major pallet wrapper brands including Lantech, Wulftec, Robopac, and others. Contact Take 2 Direct to confirm machine compatibility for your specific wrapper.

For most standard pallet loads, 80 gauge hand stretch film is the most commonly specified option, offering a strong balance of cling, stretch, and puncture resistance. For lighter loads, 60–70 gauge works well. Heavier or irregular loads may call for 90–115 gauge. Blown film versions provide additional puncture resistance for sharp-cornered or dense loads.

Colored pallet wrap is widely used across warehousing and distribution, 3PL and fulfillment operations, e-commerce and retail, and manufacturing and industrial packaging. Each industry leverages color-coded film to streamline load identification, separate client inventory in shared facilities, organize outbound shipments, and segment production runs on the floor.
