What is pallet wrap?

Pallet wrap is a plastic film designed to secure pallets and their contents. Its main job is to keep items stable during transportation and storage. It helps prevent accidents caused by items falling off the pallet. It comes in two types: hand stretch film and machine stretch film.

What is the difference between pallet wrap and stretch film?

Pallet wrap, stretch film, and stretch pallet wrap are often used interchangeably. They're all thin, stretchable plastic films that are wrapped around pallets to keep the load secure.

What is the difference between shrink film, cling film, and pallet wrap?

Shrink film and pallet wrap serve similar purposes but are different products. While both are used to cover goods on pallets:

• Pallet wrap is flexible and elastic, allowing it to stretch and secure irregularly shaped pallets.
• It provides load stability during storage and transit.
• It can wrap around square, irregular, and protruding pallets.
• Available in various colors and strengths.

Shrink film, on the other hand:

• Loosely fits over the pallet and tightens upon heating.
• Offers protection against moisture, dust, and theft for items like furniture, bricks, and boats.

Cling film is used to seal food in containers, extending its shelf life rather than securing pallets.

What is pallet wrap made of?

LLDPE (Linear-Low Density Polyethylene) is the primary material used to create pallet wrap. Its flexibility and transparency make it a versatile option in the packaging industry.

Is pallet wrap recyclable?

Since pallet wrap is made from LLDPE, it falls under recycling code 4. Most regions accept it for recycling, though it’s always wise to confirm with your local council.

Is the film environmentally friendly?

Pallet wrap can be eco-friendly depending on several factors. Some of our films:

• Contain 30% recycled content, reducing fossil fuel usage and lowering carbon emissions. Recycling waste materials promotes a circular economy and reduces your Plastic Packaging Tax liability.
• Are coreless, eliminating unnecessary cardboard cores and waste.
• Use pre-stretch technology, minimizing overall plastic consumption.

What is pre-stretch film?

Pre-stretch film is manufactured by stretching the film during production. This allows users to apply less force when wrapping pallets, using less film overall.

What does micron refer to?

The micron (mu) of pallet wrap is crucial based on its intended use.

Micron refers to the thickness of the film. Our pallet wrap ranges from 8mu to 34mu. Typically, the higher the micron, the stronger the film.

Is pallet wrap safe for food?

Kite holds an AA certification under BRCGS (Storage and Distribution), enabling us to supply stretch wrap for food environments. We offer blue variants in both hand pallet wrap and machine film.

We also provide food contact stretch wrap, produced at a separate facility with a distinct process. For further details, contact us at 02476 420065.

What does elongation refer to?

A higher elongation percentage indicates greater elasticity in the pallet wrap. This lets you use less film while achieving maximum hold.

Does pallet wrap have a sticky side?

Blown pallet wrap is sticky on both sides, whereas cast film is sticky on just one side.

What is the best way to dispense pallet wrap?

The ideal method depends on the scale of your operation and the type, size, and number of pallets you handle.

Our pallet wrap solutions include hand dispensers, manual pallet wrappers, turntable machines, and robotic wrappers. These cater to low, medium, and high-volume operations.

• Hand dispensers are perfect for small operations, low-duty goods, and small pallets.
• Manual systems like our Stretch Safe machine work well for medium-sized operations and pallets under 2 meters.
• Turntable and robotic stretch wrap machines are ideal for large-scale operations, providing enhanced efficiency and consistency.

Do you offer custom printed films?

Absolutely! We can customize pallet wrap with your company logo or message. Simply fill out our order form and send your artwork, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Custom pallet wrap is a cost-effective marketing tool that effectively promotes your brand—a smart choice for many businesses.
