Pallet Wrap

Pallet wraps, also called stretch films or stretch wraps, are maintenance and stability wrappings designed to package materials in the shipping and logistics industry. These wraps come in both smaller and larger rolls that secure and protect palletised loads during transportation and storage. A pallet wrap is made from plastic materials, typically low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and is known for its stretchability and ability to encase and secure goods on a pallet tightly. Furthermore, the stretchable film is wrapped around the pallet and its contents, creating a tight, protective barrier that prevents items from shifting or falling during transit. In addition, these durable and protective wrappings come in varied diameters and lengths with different colours for your projects and needs. 

Special Features and Benefits of Pallet Wraps

Pallet wraps are integrated with unique features, providing multiple benefits. Some of the most notable features and benefits of a pallet wrap include:

• Pallet wraps protect goods from environmental factors, such as dust, dirt, moisture, and UV radiation.
• They provide a secure and snug fit due to their robust stretchability and cling properties.
• Stabilise and secure pallet loads, preventing good damages during storage or transportation.
• Available in various thicknesses, gauges, diameters, lengths, and colours.
• Cost-effective packaging solution and easy to apply.
• Highly durable, versatile, time-consuming, and environmentally friendly.

Popular Types of Pallet Wraps

Pallet wraps are classified into several types, including:

• Hand Stretch Pallet Wraps – This type of stretch film is often used for smaller operations or when wrapping pallets by hand. Hand stretch pallet wraps come in various lengths and thicknesses to accommodate different load sizes and weights manually. It is available in clear, coloured, or tinted options.
• Machine Stretch Pallet Wraps – This wrapping is designed for use with stretch wrapping machines. They are more efficient and consistent in application compared to hand wrapping. Machined pallet wrap is available in various widths and thicknesses to suit different machine types and load requirements. 
• Pre-Stretched Films – Pre-stretched film is already stretched to some extent before being wound onto the roll. This type of film requires less physical effort to apply and provides good load stability. A pre-stretched pallet wrap is often used in high-volume operations to increase wrapping speed and reduce film usage.
• Extended Core Pallet Wraps – These films have built-in handles or extended cores, making them easier to apply without requiring additional pallet wrap dispensers or handles. They are often used in smaller warehouses or for occasional pallet wrapping needs.
• Vented Pallet Wraps – Vented pallet wrap has small holes or perforations, allowing airflow through the wrapped pallet. It is commonly used for products that need ventilation, such as fresh produce, to prevent condensation and mould growth.
• UV-Resistant Stretch Films – UV-resistant pallet wrap is designed to protect goods stored or transported outdoors. These films resist breaking down due to exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light.
• Coloured Pallet Wraps – Coloured stretch film is available in various colours and is often used for coding or colour-coding pallets for identification purposes.
• Anti-Static Pallet Wraps – Anti-static stretch film is designed to prevent building static electricity, making it suitable for wrapping electronic components or products that are sensitive to static discharge.
• High-Performance Stretch Films – High-performance stretch film is engineered to provide exceptional load stability and puncture resistance, making it suitable for heavy or irregularly shaped loads.
• Transparent Pallet Wraps – These wrappings allow easy visual inspection of the pallet's contents.
