Not All Pallet Wrap is Fair Dinkum: Choosing the Right Stretch Wrap for Your Needs

Aussie businesses know the importance of a good barbie – and when it comes to shipping; strong, reliable pallet wrap is just as essential. But just like there's a snag for every taste, there's a kind of pallet wrap for every application.

Choosing the wrong one can leave your pallets looking like a Sheila's blouse on a clothesline in a gale – loose, flapping, and offering zero protection. Here's our  lowdown on selecting the perfect stretch wrap for your needs.

The Stretch Wrap Showdown: Key Considerations

When it comes to choosing your pallet wrapping champion, consider these key factors:

  • Product Protection Prowess: What are you wrapping? For lightweight boxes, a standard cast film might suffice. But for hefty items or those susceptible to punctures, a high-strength blown film is your best bet.
  • Load Lockdown: Is your pallet a Jenga tower waiting to topple, or are your items neatly stacked? Uneven or unstable pallets benefit from a wrap with superior cling and tear resistance.
  • Climate Considerations: Is your shipment facing scorching outback heat or bone-chilling Tassie winds? Different wraps offer varying UV resistance and temperature tolerance to keep your products safe in any weather.
  • Budget Blowout: Cost is always a concern. Striking the balance between affordability and performance is key. Luckily, there's a range of stretch wrap options to suit most budgets.

The Wrap Up: Different Types of Stretch Wrap

Now that you know the key considerations, let's explore some common types of stretch wrap:

  • Cast Stretch Wrap: The all-rounder, offering good balance between strength and affordability. Ideal for everyday applications with stable pallets.
  • Blown Stretch Wrap: The heavyweight champion! This super strong wrap boasts superior puncture resistance and is perfect for heavy or irregular-shaped loads.
  • Pre-Stretched Wrap: Like a pre-cut snag, this wrap saves you time. Pre-stretched during manufacturing, it requires less effort to apply while offering good load stability.
