Stretch wrap & pallet wrap(81)

Stretch wrap is applied manually by stretching the film around the load. It does not require heat to seal and can be removed easily. Shrink wrap is applied loosely and then heated to shrink tightly around the item, creating a more permanent seal. Stretch wrap is more common for pallets and furniture; shrink wrap is more common for retail packaging.

Stretch wrap thickness is measured in microns or gauge. Thinner films are adequate for light loads, while thicker films hold up better for heavy or sharp-edged items. Standard hand wrap for general packing falls in the 12 to 17 micron range. Heavy-duty applications may call for thicker gauge film.

Load the roll onto the dispenser according to the product instructions, then pull the end of the wrap out and attach it to the item or load before walking around it with the dispenser to apply even layers. Keep consistent tension as you wrap. A dispenser reduces hand fatigue and gives a more even application than wrapping with bare hands.

Stretch wrap is a plastic film and can often be dropped off at plastic film recycling locations, such as bins found at many grocery stores and large retailers. It is not typically accepted in curbside recycling. Check your local municipality's guidelines for plastic film disposal options in your area.
