Pallet stretch wrapping has been popular since the 1970s, when it came out as a better, more affordable type of shrink wrapping, while the early wraps didn’t have the stretch rate we see today, this has evolved into many different ways over time, with lots to choose in terms of options.

Most people don’t know that there are options, so here’s but a few that we love. 

Pallet Wrapping with Holes 

This is called vented pallet wrapping. These holes are made with a die cut in order to obtain the best airflow.  They usually are limited, and they keep the condensation otherwise. This airflow is vital for wrapping frozen foods, produce, and a whole lot more. Most companies that wrap this do it to trap moisture within this. This moisture that’s trapped does cause your produce to spoil much faster but with holes, it allows the air to escape, and it reduces spoilage. 

It also helps with condensation issues, a major problem for frozen foods due to the changes in temperature.  With pallet wrapping, this condensation then refreezes, and from there ice crystals begin to form on the outside of this packaging. They don’t look good, but with pallet wrapping with holes, it can prevent the condensation from forming, and prevents these packaging options from being torn up and damp. 

Pallet Wrapping for a Machine 

This is one with decades of use.  This is one that’s evolved a lot due to the different wrappers that are there. this resin formula also does change too.  In order to make this possible, various extruders will melt the resin pellets that are formed, creating a thin, unique line. 

As they melt, a lot of additives get thrown in there, and for the most part, it provides different types of characteristics, including stretch rate, and also has a capability of stretching to many levels. It can reduce the usage and the costs of the film.  But there is no amount that doesn’t prevent the tearing, especially if it has an extreme amount of stretch.

When you’re looking for this type of wrapping, check out the many different options that are there. Normal gauged types of pallet wrapping is the status quo for many, but it’s not as prevalent as it was previously. 

The equivalent stretch wrapping makes a lot of the pallet wrapping that’s sold today.  There are different varieties, with the main characteristics of this being thinner, and much more compatible and even equivalent in order to keep the retention.  You should always ask for a sample when you’re talking to suppliers, since they can give you many options. 

Handled Pallet Wrapping 

This is one that comes with a core that’s the standard 3 inches.  The insides of this can be uncomfortable for some people, and you need to roll this pretty tight in order to apply this.

But that’s where the pallet stretch wrapping with handles comes from. The core is just one inch, so it’s very easy for you to use, and a lot of companies that wrap different stuff in many areas will use this.  The rolls become much easier to put together, and it causes much less stress on your hands during the application process.  The best part is that it’s easy for someone to recycle it, as you can discard this pretty quickly.

Stretch wrapping has a variety of uses, and here, we’ve given you a few of them, so that, when you’re able to use this, you can create the ideal stretch wrapping experience for your goods and needs too.
