Pallet wrap: What To Ask
Q: What is pallet wrap used for?
A: Pallet wrap is used to secure products onto pallets for storage and transportation. It improves load stability while protecting goods from dust, moisture, dirt, and movement during transit.
Q: What micron pallet wrap should I use?
A: The correct micron depends on the weight and type of your load. Lightweight pallets often use 10 to 12 micron film, medium-duty applications commonly use 15 micron, while heavy or sharp-edged loads benefit from 17 to 20 micron stretch film.
Q: What is extended core pallet wrap?
A: Extended core pallet wrap features cardboard cores that extend beyond the roll, creating built-in handles. This eliminates the need for a separate dispenser and makes manual wrapping faster and more comfortable.
Q: What is the difference between hand pallet wrap and machine pallet wrap?
A: Hand pallet wrap is applied manually and is ideal for lower-volume operations. Machine pallet wrap is designed for pallet wrapping machines, providing greater speed, consistency, and efficiency for high-volume environments.
Q: What is mini stretch wrap used for?
A: Mini stretch wrap is used to bundle smaller items such as pipes, timber, cables, steel profiles, furniture, and cartons. It offers a quick and convenient way to secure products without wrapping an entire pallet.
Q: Is black pallet wrap better than clear pallet wrap?
A: Black pallet wrap conceals the contents of a pallet for added security and protects products from UV exposure. Clear pallet wrap allows easy identification of goods and barcode scanning without removing the film.
