Stretch Film Pallet Wrap — Bulk Pricing & Protection

New standard wood pallets average $10–$25 each, while recycled or reconditioned pallets run $5–$15 depending on grade and region. However, the far greater cost risk lies in unsecured loads. Investing in the correct stretch film gauge — typically 80 to 90 gauge for standard warehouse loads — protects far more valuable freight sitting on those pallets.

For heavy loads or products with sharp corners and edges, 90 to 115 gauge blown stretch film is recommended. Blown LLDPE film offers superior puncture and tear resistance compared to cast film. For standard mixed warehouse loads, 80 gauge cast film is the most widely used option, offering a reliable balance of strength, clarity, and economy.

Cast stretch film is manufactured through a cast extrusion process, producing a clearer, quieter-unwinding film with consistent gauge — ideal for most warehouse applications. Blown stretch film is made via a blown extrusion process, resulting in higher puncture resistance and superior load-holding force, making it the preferred choice for heavy, irregular, or sharp-edged loads.

On average, wrapping a standard pallet requires approximately 100–200 linear feet of stretch film per pallet depending on load height, wrap pattern, and overlap percentage. An 18-inch wide, 1,000-foot roll typically yields 5 to 10 pallet wraps. Pre-stretched hand film can reduce film usage by up to 50% while lowering operator fatigue.
