Pre-stretch cast hand wrap film offers consistent, reduced-effort pallet and carton bundling for warehouses and distribution centers. At 17 inches wide and 2,000 feet per roll, this film is factory pre-stretched to reduce physical effort on the wrap line without sacrificing load containment.

Specs: 17 in. x 2,000 ft. | 28 Gauge | Cast LLDPE | Pre-Stretched | 1 Roll

Applications

• Pallet wrapping in distribution and fulfillment centers


• Carton and case bundling for outbound shipments


• Retail back-stock and display pallet stabilization


• Light-duty load unitizing in manufacturing environments


• E-commerce order fulfillment operations

Features

• Factory pre-stretched for consistent tension without excess operator effort


• Cast film construction delivers quiet, smooth unwinding


• High clarity for barcode scanning and visual inspection through the wrap


• Strong cling layer maintains wrap position on the load surface


• 17 in. width provides efficient coverage for standard pallet stacks


• 2,000 ft. per roll for extended run time between roll changes

Material Notes

Cast LLDPE pre-stretch film is produced on a flat-die extrusion line, then mechanically pre-stretched at the factory to approximately 150–200% before winding. This pre-tensioning reduces the force required during application, lowering operator fatigue on high-volume wrap lines. Cast film unwinds quietly and offers better optical clarity than blown stretch alternatives.

Use Case Notes

Pre-stretch hand film at 17 inches is well-suited for distribution operations wrapping smaller or lighter pallets, bundling corrugated cases, or stabilizing display-ready product units. The reduced gauge (28 ga.) is offset by the pre-stretch ratio, making it effective for light-to-medium duty containment at a lower material cost per wrap cycle.

Common Questions

Q: What is the difference between pre-stretch and standard hand stretch film?
A: Standard hand stretch film is stretched by the operator during application. Pre-stretch film is factory-stretched before winding, so it applies with far less physical effort. This reduces operator fatigue and delivers more consistent wrap tension across the load.

Q: Is 28 gauge too thin for pallet wrapping?
A: Because the film is pre-stretched, effective load containment is maintained despite the lower gauge. The pre-tensioning compensates for the reduced thickness, making it appropriate for light-to-medium duty pallet and carton applications.

Q: How does 17 in. width compare to standard stretch film?
A: Standard hand stretch film is commonly 18 in. wide. At 17 in., this roll provides slightly narrower coverage — suitable for standard GMA pallets and most mid-size loads.
