Material Notes

Cast stretch film is manufactured through a cast extrusion process, producing a consistent film with low noise on unwind — a significant operational advantage over blown film in noisy warehouse environments. Cast film offers excellent clarity and good cling on both sides. At 80 gauge, this film provides substantial load holding force suitable for standard to heavy pallet loads.

Use Case Notes

The 18" width is the industry-standard hand stretch film width compatible with standard ergonomic dispensers. Suited for medium to heavy-duty pallet loads requiring manual application. The 1500 FT roll length reduces interruptions during high-volume wrapping operations, minimizing downtime from roll changes on busy shipping docks.

Common Questions

Q: What is the difference between cast and blown stretch film?
A: Cast film has a quieter unwind, better clarity, and consistent gauge. Blown film offers higher puncture resistance and is better suited for irregular loads with sharp edges. Cast is the standard choice for most warehouse pallet wrapping applications.

Q: What dispensers are compatible with this film?
A: Standard 18" hand stretch film dispensers, ergonomic pole-style dispensers, and coreless film systems compatible with 18" rolls.

Q: Can barcodes be scanned through the film?
A: Yes. The optical clarity of this cast film allows most standard barcode scanners to read through the wrapping without removing film.

Why Buy

An 18" x 80 gauge cast stretch film at 1500 FT per roll — balancing load holding force, clarity, and roll longevity for standard warehouse pallet wrapping. Quiet unwind, barcode-transparent film, and broad dispenser compatibility make this a practical, reliable choice for daily shipping dock operations.
