Pallet Wrap
Quick answer
Hand and machine stretch film for pallet loads.
Pallet wrap (stretch film) secures loads for storage and transit. We supply hand rolls for manual wrapping and machine rolls for high throughput, in cast and blown film, plus coloured and pre-stretched options. The right film gauge holds your load securely while using less plastic.
Best for
- Securing pallet loads for transit or storage
- Hand wrapping or machine wrapping
- Reducing plastic (pre-stretched)
- High-throughput despatch
Common sizes & specs
A quick reference — exact spec is on each product and its spec sheet.
| Gauge | 17–20µm light loads; 23µm+ heavy or sharp |
|---|---|
| Cast film | Clear, quiet, easy label scanning |
| Blown film | Tougher, more cling for irregular loads |
| Format | Hand rolls or machine rolls |
What to check before ordering
- Load weight and edges → gauge
- Hand vs machine application
- Cast vs blown for clarity vs toughness
- Whether pre-stretched film cuts your plastic use

Specs, explained

Hand vs machine pallet wrap
Which stretch film suits your throughput — manual wrapping or an automatic/semi-automatic wrapper?
Hand pallet wrap
Manual wrapping, lower volumes.
Best for: A few pallets a day
- No machine required
- Shorter rolls sized for hand use
- Cast film unwinds quietly and clear
- Slower and less consistent than machine
Machine pallet wrap
High throughput, consistent tension.
Best for: High-volume despatch
- Consistent, tight wrap on every pallet
- Longer rolls, less film per load with pre-stretch
- Needs an automatic/semi-automatic wrapper
- Best unit economics by the pallet
Common buyer questions
How much pallet wrap gauge do I need?
Light loads are usually fine with 17–20 micron film; heavier or sharp-edged loads need 23 micron or above. Pre-stretched film gives similar hold with less plastic.
What packaging do I need for ecommerce orders?
A box or mailing bag sized to the product, void fill or bubble wrap so nothing moves, plus tape and a courier label. Right-sizing keeps postage and damage down.
Which boxes fit Royal Mail Large Letter?
Boxes within 353 × 250 × 25mm post as a Large Letter. Our PiP postal boxes are cut to sit inside those limits so you pay the cheaper rate.
What is the best void fill for fragile items?
Pair cushioning (bubble wrap) around the item with void fill (kraft paper or air cushions) to stop movement. Fill any gap larger than about 3cm.
