Introduction to Pallet Stretch Wrap Film

Pallet stretch wrap film is a plastic film that is used to wrap around a pallet of goods to secure and protect them during transport and storage. The film is wrapped tightly around the pallet, binding the goods together and keeping them in place. pallet wrapping film comes in various sizes, lengths, and thicknesses, making it a versatile packaging solution for a wide range of products.

 

Advantages of Pallet Stretch Wrap Film
 

Product Protection
This is the very basic function and benefit of pallet stretch film. Wrapping the products in a stretch film will protect them from environmental factors, such as dirt, dust, and moisture. They help keep the load clean and dry but clearly visible.

 

Reduced Product Damage
Pallet stretch wrap films allow you to wrap your load securely and make it stable with decreased chances of products being shifted here-and-there during shipping. Stretch rolls also assist in moving the load around with the help of a forklift conveniently.

 

Improved Handling Efficiencies
Pallet stretch wrap films, when used along with angle boards, help in stacking the load higher on pallets. This maximizes the warehouse space while storing the products. Besides, you can easily wrap and move around the load, aiding in increased work productivity.
With the help of pallet stretch films, you can also conveniently stack odd-shaped loads that otherwise couldn't be stacked on a flat surface.

 

Recyclable and Decreased Pilferage
Most pallet stretch films are environment-friendly and 100% recyclable. If you keep them clean, they can also be recycled easily. Stretch rolls wrap and unitize the loads completely. Thus, they make pilferage harder as one has to first unwrap the load.
Best of all, an opaque stretch wrap can even conceal the product. If you use a clear stretch wrap, the scanning system can easily read it.

 

Inventory Management
Managing inventory becomes easy if all the like products are wrapped together. This reduces the chances of product separation, making inventory counting an efficient and time-saving process.

 

Factors to Consider When Choosing Pallet Stretch Wrap Film

 

Load Type And Size
The first step in selecting the right pallet wrap film is assessing the weight, shape, and dimensions of your products. Heavy loads may require a high-strength wrap, while irregularly shaped items might benefit from flexibility or specialist wraps.

 

Environmental Conditions
Always factor in the environment in which your pallets will be stored or transported. If your goods are exposed to certain conditions, opt for a wrap with UV resistance, moisture resistance, or temperature stability. This ensures the wrap maintains its integrity and protects your products effectively.

 

Film Thickness
Pallet wrap film thickness is measured in microns and ranges in thickness from 5 to 30mu, depending on your application. For example, you'll want to use thicker film for heavy or irregular loads, or loads that might be more prone to puncture and scratching during transport.
Thicker films offer increased load stability and protection against punctures, but they may require more material, which adds to the cost.

 

Dimensions
The standard width of pallet stretch wrap film is typically between 380mm and 510mm, or 15 to 20 inches. Wider films generally cost more per roll. In terms of length, longer rolls generally cost more. However, shorter rolls need to be replaced more frequently, potentially impacting the efficiency of your warehouse operations.

 

Stretch
Pallet stretch wrap film provides a secure and tight grip around the pallet by combining tension and elasticity. High stretchability enables better load containment, reducing the risk of shifting and damage during transit. Consider the stretch percentage and elongation properties of the wrap to ensure it suits your load requirements.

 

Containment Force
Pallet stretch wrap film containment force is the pressure the wrap subjects the contained objects to. This is what holds the items together and stops them from shifting during transportation. If you apply too much containment force, you're wasting pallet wrap and you could damage the goods within.
If you don't use enough containment force, you run the risk of goods falling out or becoming unstable, resulting in lost stock and ancillary damage to transporters or people.

 

Application Method
Hand pallet wrap is manually applied and is generally used for lighter work with a lower volume of pallets per day. You can use these wraps in conjunction with wrap dispensers and Grip Systems for an ergonomic application process.
Machine pallet wrap is most suited to high-volume users that are dispatching over 15 pallets a day. It also helps to reduce plastic consumption and therefore lowers costs.
Another key consideration is determining whether you will be applying the pallet wrap manually or with a wrapping machine. Machine wraps are designed for automated systems and offer consistent tension and application speed. On the other hand, hand wraps can be more versatile and suitable for smaller-scale operations or irregularly shaped pallets.

 

Cast And Blown Pallet Wrap
Pallet wrap is made in two different ways–cast or blown. Cast film is made when the resin is pressed through chilled rollers to be flattened. Most stretch film is created using this method.
Blown film is created by making a thick layer of resin and then blowing air within to create a bubble. The size of the bubble and the original film dictates the thickness of the film. The bubble enables the material to cool steadily and is then collected by rollers.

 

Colour
The colour of your pallet wrap film can make it easier for staff to identify pallets and reduce warehouse errors. For extra security, opt for black pallet wrap to keep valuable items hidden from view.

 

Pallet Wrap Accessories
As well as the wrap itself, there are a few other products to consider investing in. Firstly, you may wish to protect your products from the elements and the rough surface of the pallet by laying down a pallet pad. Additionally, pallet tops are ideal for protecting the top of your load.
If your load is fragile or you simply want to soften any movements, you can use pallet cushions underneath each corner. For pallets that are double or triple-stacked, corner protection goes a long way. Edge boards help to stabilise loads and strapping, reducing movement and damage during transit.

 

 
How to Use Pallet Stretch Wrap Film
 

 

 
Choose The Correct Pallet

It's crucial to choose the right pallets. They must be manufactured of the appropriate material, in good working order, and strong enough to support the load's entire weight.

 
Use The Ideal Stretch Wrapping Tools

Some supervisors may opt to wrap their cargo by hand for lightweight pallet wraps. Mechanical stretch wrapping machines are excellent if your warehouse is constantly delivering out greater quantities. You can utilize a semi-automatic spinning model, an overhead rotating arm, horizontal machines, or an automated stretch wrapper for fully automated operations.

 
Protect The Film

Begin looping at the bottom and work your way up to the top. Before wrapping the pallet, ensure the leading edge of the film is secured to the pallet bottom. Your supervisor will have to secure the film to the bottom or pallet or into the film cup on the spinner for semi-automatic types. A film wrapping mechanism, which clamps, folds, and threads the film, is available on several automatic stretch packers.

 
Wrap The Goods

Begin by covering the goods gaps all the way to the pallet bottom. To produce adequate hold fastening the weight to the pallet frame, do two or more rotations all around the base. As the film moves upwards, you'll want to make sure that nearly half of the material covers. Certain machines, such as mechanical pallet wrappers, can be programmed to provide particular overlap coverage.

 
Control Wrap Tension

The amount of tension in the load determines how firmly it is pressed. Delicate items require low tension in respect to the flexibility factor of the wrap, whereas hefty and solid weights may handle higher tension.

 
Make a decision about whether or not to double wrap.

You must pick whether to tie off the film on top of the weight of spiral downward when you hit the peak of the upward swirl. You should always double wrap if you're unsure. Dual wrapping your item utilizes more stretch film yet protects it from damage.

 
Stick To The Film Tail

Lastly, at the completion of the wrapping cycle, apply the film tail. Most stretch wrappers feature a variety of film clamps for removing the film and fastening it to the cargo at the end of the wrapper process.
This prevents loose film ends from becoming entangled in truck forks or other items throughout transport, endangering the load's confinement pressure at the base. This can result in transportation delays and product damage.
The device for ultimate binding of the film tail is integrated into a pneumatically driven film clamp unit incorporating hot wire film cutting. Without the use of a sealer, a nip and tuck device pinches, cuts, and threads the film. The wrapping film's last tail is placed into the coil itself.

Cost Considerations: While it's important to ensure the safety and protection of your goods, it's also wise to consider cost-efficiency. Pre-stretched film and machine stretch film can provide savings over the long term.

Q: What is pallet stretch wrap film made from?

A: Pallet stretch wrap film is a plastic film most commonly made from linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). The manufacturing process involves heating and compressing resin (the small pellets of plastic material) at the specific temperature according to the viscosity required. It is then pushed through an annular die to create a continuous layer of plastic. Other resins and additives can be included such as pigment, tackifier and UV resistance.

Q: What Is pallet Stretch Wrap film Gauge?

A: The pallet stretch wrap film gauge is a measure of its thickness. This measure helps you understand the amount of weight or force it can withstand before failing. Each stretch wrap is rated to secure a specific amount of weight, which is directly related to its gauge.

Q: How much stretch wrap per pallet?

A: In general, it takes 176 feet of stretch wrap to cover a standard 48-inch pallet. The amount of stretch wrap you need can vary depending on the size and weight of a pallet and how much stretch you can get out of the wrap.

Q: Does thicker stretch wrap mean it's stronger?

A: No, the thicker stretch wrap doesn't mean it is stronger. This is one of the most common misconceptions about pallet stretch wrap. It is the resin formulation of the stretch wrap that determines its strength and not the thickness.

Q: How long does it take to wrap a pallet?

A: On average, wrapping a pallet by hand takes 2 minutes whereas wrapping by machine with the same number of rotations, takes 1 minute and 23 seconds. This shows that automated wrapping does make a difference, especially if you are wrapping a high volume of pallets.It would take approximately 6 hours 40 minutes to wrap 200 pallets by hand and only 4 hours 36 minutes with a pallet wrapper.
