White Hand Film Stretch Wrap — 80 GA

Stretch film, like this 80 GA LLDPE hand wrap, is an industrial-grade material engineered to stretch significantly under tension to unitize and secure pallet loads. Cling wrap is a lighter consumer-grade film primarily used for food storage. Stretch film offers far superior load retention, puncture resistance, and film yield, making it the standard for warehouse and distribution packaging applications.

80 GA refers to the gauge, or thickness, of the stretch film — 80 gauge equals 0.0008 inches thick. It is the most widely used standard gauge for hand stretch wrap, offering a reliable balance of film strength, stretchability, and cost-efficiency for everyday pallet wrapping in warehouses and shipping rooms handling general freight loads.

White stretch wrap is ideal for inventory color-coding, load identification, and concealing pallet contents for security or presentation purposes. It offers the same load containment and protection as clear film at 80 GA, while allowing warehouses and 3PLs to visually differentiate shipments, zones, or product categories quickly on the floor without additional labeling systems.

Hand stretch film is available in standard widths of 12 in, 15 in, 18 in, and 20 in — with 18 in and 20 in being the most common for pallet wrapping. Standard roll lengths include 1,000 ft (typical), as well as 500 ft, 700 ft, 1,200 ft, and 1,500 ft options to match your wrapping volume and dispenser compatibility.

Cast hand stretch film offers a quieter unwind, more consistent gauge, and is easier to stretch by hand, making it ideal for most standard warehouse applications. Blown hand stretch film provides higher puncture and tear resistance, making it the better choice for loads with sharp corners, heavy items, or irregular shapes that present a higher risk of film failure during wrapping.

Yes. White 80 GA hand stretch film is fully compatible with hand-held dispensers, including extended-handle, brake-tension, and ergonomic models. Using a dispenser improves wrapping consistency, reduces hand fatigue, and helps achieve proper film tension for secure load containment. Extended core and bonded core versions are also available for two-handed wrapping without a separate dispenser tool.
