Hand Stretch Film & Wrap

Hand stretch film is designed for manual application, typically featuring a built-in core or handle for easy grip. Machine stretch film is engineered for use with powered stretch wrapping equipment and is wound at higher tensions. Hand film is ideal for lower-volume operations or areas where a machine is not practical or cost-effective.

The amount of stretch film required depends on pallet size, load weight, wrap layers, and wrapping frequency.
