Pallet Wrap & Stretch Film

Pallet wrap is commonly referred to as stretch film, stretch wrap, or pallet film. It comes in two primary forms: hand stretch film, applied manually, and machine stretch film, used with automated or semi-automated wrapping equipment. Both are designed to secure loads on pallets for safe storage and transport.

Pallet wrap and household cling film are both made from plastic film but are engineered for very different applications. Pallet stretch wrap is significantly thicker, more durable, and designed to unitize heavy loads on pallets during warehousing and shipping. Cling film is a lighter-weight product intended for food storage and is not suitable for industrial load containment.

Pallet wrap, or stretch film, is primarily made from linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). This material provides the elasticity, puncture resistance, and load-holding force required for securing palletized goods. LLDPE stretch film can be applied by hand or machine and is available in varying thicknesses and widths depending on load requirements.

Hand stretch film is designed for manual application using a handheld dispenser, making it ideal for low-to-medium volume wrapping needs. Machine stretch film is engineered for use with semi-automatic or automatic pallet wrappers, offering consistent wrap tension and higher throughput.
