Pre-Stretch Pallet Wrap Film

The footage required per pallet depends on pallet height, load type, and wrap pattern. On average, a standard pallet requires approximately 150 to 300 feet of stretch wrap. Heavier or irregular loads may require additional wraps for adequate containment. Pre-stretch film can reduce overall consumption compared to standard stretch film.

For most standard pallets, 80-gauge stretch wrap is the most widely used option. Lighter loads may use 60-gauge film, while heavier or sharp-edged loads often require 90- to 120-gauge film for added puncture resistance. Pre-stretch films are typically thinner gauges since the pre-elongation process increases strength and cling.

Start by anchoring the film at the pallet base, overlapping with the bottom boards. Rotate around the pallet while keeping the film taut, working upward in overlapping layers. Wrap the top tier, then work back down to the base. For machine stretch film, the wrapping machine handles tension and film application automatically, improving speed and consistency.

Hand stretch film is applied manually using a handheld dispenser, making it ideal for lower-volume operations or areas without wrapping equipment. Machine length stretch film is designed for automated stretch wrap machines, offering faster throughput and greater consistency. Both are available from Take 2 Direct with same-day shipping.
