Clear Machine Pallet Wrap - 150% Stretch

Clear Machine Pallet Stetch Wrap Film – Standard 150% Stretch

Here at Globe Packaging we stock a wide selection of machine pallet stretch wrap, available in numerous specifications, duties (thicknesses) and sizes. You will find a selection of standard 150% stretch machine pallet wrap films, as well as a selection of power-pre films with a 250% stretch capacity.

In the section above, you will find clear machine pallet wrap film available in standard 150% stretch capacity. These high quality rolls of standard machine pallet wrap are available in two different thicknesses (choose between 20mu or 23mu thickness). All rolls of machine pallet stretch wrap film are 16kg in weight. The length of the roll depends on the thickness of the film you opt for. Note all lengths represent the length of the film prior to it being stretched:

Machine pallet wrap film rolls with 20mu Thickness – Width 500mm, Length 1600M, roll weight 16kg.
Machine pallet wrap film rolls with 23mu Thickness – Width 500mm, Length 1400M, roll weight 16kg.

What Stretch Capacity Of Machine Pallet Wrap Do You Need?

One of the most common questions is the type of machine pallet wrap that is needed by a business/operation. It can be extremely confusing, especially if the ordering of the product is moved to a different person or department within an organisation, or if you are looking to change product or thickness.

The simple answer to the above question is that it depends on the type of pallet wrap machinery you are using in your business/operation. The stretch capacity of film is the maximum % capacity that the film can stretch to, during its wrapping cycle on the machine, to maximise the meterage from the roll (eg. Using the machine at a setting of 150% stretch capacity can theoretically make each metre of film stretch to 1.5 metres, assuming the film has 150% stretch capacity). Certain machinery (usually entry-level) is only designed to work with standard 150% capacity stretch film, whilst other machinery (usually higher end) is designed to work with power-pre stretch film that has a stretch capacity of 250% or more. The settings applied to your machine will then determine which stretch capacity you need.

The most common issue we see is the wrong type of machine pallet wrap being used, which can then lead to problems with your machine or wrapping. If you have a pallet wrap machine that is compatible with a 250% capacity stretch film and is set to stretch the film to this, but you use a 150% capacity stretch film with that machine, the film will naturally break and tear during its wrapping cycle. On the converse, if you use a 250% capacity stretch film on a 150% capacity machine, nothing will theoretically ‘go wrong’, but the stretch capacity is wasted (as a 250% stretch capacity film costs more than a 150% stretch capacity film).
