Stretch wrap is useful in a house move for holding drawers and doors shut, keeping furniture parts together, and protecting surfaces from dust and scuffs. It clings to itself with no tape on the furniture, so it leaves no sticky residue. It is not padding, though, so use it to secure and dust-protect, and add … Read more

Pallet wrap usually tears for one of four reasons: sharp edges cutting the film, the film being too thin for the load, poor wrapping technique, or damaged rolls. Work through them in that order and you will find the cause. Most tearing is fixed by protecting sharp corners and moving to a thicker film. Tearing … Read more

Stretch film’s main job is securing loads on pallets, but it does more across a warehouse: bundling, protecting stock from dust, holding covers in place, and unitising awkward goods for transport. It is one of the cheapest and most versatile products in a logistics operation, which is why it turns up everywhere from goods-in to … Read more

Standard stretch film secures loads well, but it is not designed for long-term outdoor exposure or extreme cold. Sunlight degrades ordinary film over weeks, and cold makes it stiffer and less stretchy. For short-term or covered outdoor storage, standard film is fine if you wrap thoroughly. For prolonged direct sun or freezer conditions, you need … Read more

For heavy pallets wrapped by hand, use a thicker film, more passes and firm tension, and tie the load properly to the pallet. Our 23 Micron is the heaviest hand roll we make and the right starting point for heavier loads. But hand film has limits, and very heavy or dense loads may need strapping … Read more

Choosing stretch film comes down to five decisions: thickness, core type, colour, roll size, and how you compare suppliers.

This guide takes each in turn so you can work through them quickly, or you can browse our full stretch … Read more

There is no single figure, because film per pallet depends on pallet size, load height, how many wraps you use and how far you stretch the film. But you can work out your own number and your cost per pallet with a simple method. Below is how to measure it, a worked example, and the … Read more

Hand stretch film is applied by an operator, with a dispenser or an extended core. Machine stretch film runs on an automatic or semi-automatic wrapping machine. The choice comes down to volume: hand film for lower and mixed volumes, machine film once you are wrapping enough pallets to justify a machine. We supply hand film. … Read more

Most pallet failures come from a short list of wrapping mistakes: not tying the load to the pallet, too little tension, too few wraps, wrapping over sharp edges unprotected, and using the wrong film for the load. Fix these five and the large majority of loose and damaged loads stop happening. None of these are … Read more

Use 17 micron for lighter, stable, uniform loads, and 23 micron for heavier or more demanding pallets. 23µ has about a third more material, so it resists punctures better and holds more tension, at a higher price per roll. If you are genuinely unsure, 23µ is the safer pick because the extra margin costs little … Read more
