Pallet wraps are essential materials used for securing and protecting goods during storage and transportation. Also known as stretch film or stretch wrap, pallet wraps are made from a highly stretchable plastic film that is applied to items on a pallet to secure them tightly, preventing them from shifting or getting damaged during transit. At SHENGTENG, we offer high-quality pallet wraps designed to provide superior strength, stretchability, and durability for various industries, ensuring that your goods are protected and secure throughout the entire supply chain process.

Our pallet wraps come in various sizes, thicknesses, and strengths, allowing you to choose the perfect solution based on your specific needs. Whether you need to wrap products for storage, shipping, or handling, SHENGTENG’s pallet wraps offer reliable performance and cost-effective protection.

What is Pallet Wrap Called?

Pallet wrap is commonly known by several names, including:

• Stretch Film: This is the most widely used term for pallet wrap, referring to its stretchable nature that conforms tightly to the wrapped items.

• Stretch Wrap: Similar to stretch film, this term is often used to describe the process and material used to wrap products.

• Shrink Wrap: Although not technically the same, shrink wrap is sometimes used interchangeably with stretch film because of its protective properties, but it differs in the application process (shrink wrap requires heat to shrink, while stretch wrap uses tension).

Regardless of the name, pallet wrap is designed to offer excellent load security and product protection for a wide range of applications.

How Much is a Pallet Wrap?

The cost of pallet wrap can vary depending on several factors, such as the size, thickness (gauge), and type of material used. On average, prices for pallet wrap typically range from $15 to $50 per roll, with larger rolls and higher-quality films often costing more.

Factors influencing the price include:

• Size and Length: Larger rolls with more film length usually cost more, but they can be more cost-efficient in high-volume applications.

• Thickness (Gauge): Thicker pallet wraps tend to be more expensive but offer better durability and protection, especially for heavy-duty applications.

• Type of Film: Films with additional features like UV protection, puncture resistance, or greater stretchability might come at a premium price.

Buying in bulk can often lower the cost per roll, and some suppliers offer wholesale prices or discounts for large orders.

What Gauge Shrink Wrap for Pallets?

The gauge of pallet wrap refers to the thickness of the film, and it directly affects the strength, durability, and stretchability of the wrap. The most commonly used gauge for shrink wrap or stretch film on pallets is between 60 to 120 gauge. However, the exact gauge you choose should depend on the weight, shape, and sensitivity of the products you are wrapping.

• 60-80 gauge: Ideal for light to medium-duty applications, this range is often used for smaller or less fragile products that don't require heavy-duty protection.

• 90-120 gauge: Suitable for heavier loads and more demanding applications, offering greater strength and puncture resistance. This thickness is ideal for larger or heavier pallets, as it can handle rougher handling and transportation.

For extremely heavy or challenging loads, some industries may even use 150+ gauge films, though this is less common for typical pallet wrapping.

How Strong is Pallet Wrap?

The strength of pallet wrap depends largely on the gauge, material composition, and the stretchability of the film. Stretch films are designed to stretch and cling to the pallet and the items being wrapped, offering excellent tensile strength and puncture resistance.

The key aspects that contribute to the strength of pallet wraps include:

1. Tensile Strength: This refers to the maximum load the film can bear before breaking. Higher gauge films, such as 120 gauge and above, offer better tensile strength.

2. Stretchability: A stretchable pallet wrap can stretch up to 250-300% of its original length, which means it can tightly secure even irregularly shaped loads without tearing or breaking.

3. Puncture Resistance: Puncture resistance is an important factor for wrapping heavy or sharp-edged products. High-quality pallet wraps have strong puncture resistance, minimizing the risk of tears during transportation.

4. Load Retention: The wrap needs to hold the load securely during transportation and storage. Stronger pallet wraps provide superior load retention, ensuring the wrapped items do not shift or topple.

In general, pallet wrap is designed to be very strong, ensuring your products stay intact and secure during handling, transit, and storage. With the right gauge and material, it provides excellent protection for your goods.
