Choosing the appropriate hand stretch wrap starts by evaluating your load type and operational needs. Light to medium-weight pallets typically benefit from thinner gauge hand wrap, whereas heavy or irregularly shaped loads require thicker, stronger film for maximum stability.
Consider the wrap’s cling properties if load containment is critical during long-distance transport. Blown hand stretch wrap offers better puncture resistance and durability, ideal for tough industrial applications, while cast hand stretch film provides superior clarity for easy barcode scanning and load inspection.
Pay attention to the roll size and width - narrow rolls are excellent for bundling small items, whereas wider rolls are suited for full pallets. Ergonomics matter as well; coreless or extended-core hand stretch wraps are easier for workers to use efficiently and reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries. Always match the film’s elasticity and memory to your shipping, handling, and storage conditions to ensure optimal performance.
