Our advantages
Good Shrink Ratio, Shrink Tight The Pallet Stretch Hood meets the stringent demands of modern logistics and storage. It boasts an excellent shrink ratio, ensuring a tight and secure fit around palletized goods, thereby minimizing the risk of movement during transit. This tight shrink capability is crucial for maintaining the integrity of pallet loads under various conditions. |
Five Layer Co-Extruded Strong Material The Pallet Stretch Hood is made from a robust five-layer co-extruded material, providing unparalleled strength, which results in a high level of tear and puncture resistance. This durability is crucial for protecting goods from the harsh realities of transportation and handling. Furthermore, its high puncture resistance means that even items with sharp or irregular shapes can be securely wrapped without compromising the integrity of the packaging. |
Water-Proof, Dust-Proof The Pallet Stretch Hood excels in providing superior protection against environmental factors. Its waterproof and dust-proof capabilities ensure that goods remain dry and clean, safeguarding against moisture, dirt, and other contaminants. This level of protection is crucial for maintaining the quality and value of products throughout the logistics chain. |
Strength When working with a circumference smaller than the load, constant horizontal and vertical tension is achieved to hold the goods compactly without damaging the product. |
Stability The film can overlap the bottom of pallet for tight cargo/pallet cohesion that avoids damage resulting from problems of stability during storage and transport. |
Impermeability The cargo is protected from water and dust, including during long periods of exterior storage. |
Traceability Thanks to the film’s transparency, labels and bar codes under the wrap can be read, so that they do not deteriorate or disappear. |
Quality Since no heat need be applied, the properties of the product are not altered nor is there any danger of the film sticking to it. |
Safety The potential risk posed by a gas installation is avoided. |
Savings on film Shrinkwrap is an economical packaging system given that it works with a film circumference smaller than the cargo, thereby reducing the use of plastic |
Applications

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.
