Hand Grade Stretch Film for Pallets

Hand stretch film is designed for manual application without the need for specialized wrapping machinery. It is typically applied by walking around the pallet and stretching the film by hand or with a handheld dispenser. Machine stretch film, by contrast, requires a powered pallet wrapper and is better suited for high-volume, automated operations.

Hand stretch film is commonly available in gauges ranging from 37 to 80 gauge (approximately 9 to 20 microns). Lighter gauges work well for lighter, uniform loads, while heavier gauges are recommended for sharp-edged, heavier, or irregularly shaped pallets. Contact Take 2 Direct to confirm available gauges and match the right film to your application.

The number of wraps depends on load weight, shape, and stability requirements. A general guideline is to apply 2 to 3 wraps at the base for anchoring, followed by overlapping spiral wraps up the load, and 2 to 3 wraps at the top to lock everything in. Heavier or irregularly shaped loads may require additional passes or double-layering at stress points.

Yes, hand stretch film is versatile enough for small, medium, and full-sized pallet loads. Standard roll widths of 18 inches accommodate most pallet profiles. For unusually tall or wide loads, overlapping passes or wider specialty rolls may be appropriate. Take 2 Direct can help you select the right roll size and gauge for your specific load dimensions.
