Hand-grade stretch wrap Film holds materials together safely while protecting them from dirt, moisture, theft, and damage, keep items together and prevent tampering. Top-quality virgin linear low-density polyethylene stretch wrap film offers outstanding load protection. High clarity Stretch Wrap Film allows you to identify your products easily while smooth release allows you to wrap with ease. It can be applied with or without a handheld dispenser. The worker applies the wrap by holding the roll and walking around the bundle. These rolls are smaller than machine-grade wrap rolls, making them easier to transport around a facility. A hand-grade wrap is used to wrap boxes and irregular loads or bundles, such as lumber or pallets with irregular sides.

A highly stretchable plastic film, stretch wrap commonly is made from linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) that is wrapped around items. The elastic recovery keeps the items tightly bound. The cast extrusion process is a continuous process by which a thermoplastic material is melted and extruded through a flat die onto a chill roll, where it is quenched and re-solidified. This process allows the cast stretch film to have excellent clarity, require less force to stretch, increased tear resistance, unwind quietly from machines, and offer a superior cling. Both machine-grade and hand-grade cast stretch films are available. There are a variety of widths, thicknesses, and types of stretch film.
SELECTING THE RIGHT SIZE FILM FOR YOUR APPLICATION:
Different thicknesses and widths of the film are needed for different applications. Use the chart below to help find which thickness and width would be best for your application.
THICKNESS | 2"-5" BANDING | 12"-20" HAND GRADE | 20" MACHINE GRADE |
60 Gauge | Ideal for lighter smaller objects, small boxes, and banding light items together. Many moving companies use light gauge banding stretch film in place of tape. | Ideal for loads up to approx. 1300 lb. 12", 15", and 18" widths are ideal for shorter loads or loads where the bottom and top only need to be wrapped. | Same strength as 12"-20" hand stretch wrap. Machines promote more efficient wrapping and reduce waste. |
70 Gauge | Same uses as the 60 gauge but enables slightly stronger holding strength. | Ideal for loads up to approx. 1600 lb. 12", 15", and 18" widths are ideal for shorter loads or loads where the bottom and top only need to be wrapped. | Same strength as 12"-20" hand stretch wrap. Machines promote more efficient wrapping and reduce waste. |
80 Gauge | The most common gauge in all stretch wrap. Known to be very versatile and handle a variety of applications. | Ideal for loads up to approx. 2200 lb. 80 gauge is the most common stretch film thickness and ideal for a variety of applications. | Same strength as 12"-20" hand stretch wrap. Machines promote more efficient wrapping and reduce waste. |
90 Gauge | Uses are comparable to 80 gauge stretch film, but has increased strength. | Ideal for loads up to approx. 2400 lb. 90 gauge is a starting thickness for the heavier film. The 18" and 20" 90 gauge and above are ideal for taller or heavier loads. | Same strength as 12"-20" hand stretch wrap. Machines promote more efficient wrapping and reduce waste. |
120 Gauge | Used for smaller heavy objects, commonly used for banding lumber together. | Ideal for loads up to approx. 3000 lb. The 18" and 20" 115 gauge and above are ideal for taller or heavier loads. | Same strength as 12”-20" hand stretch wrap. Machines promote more efficient wrapping and reduce waste. |
