What the AI looks for in Stretch Film
- Gauge
- About 60 to 70 gauge for light loads; 80 gauge or more for heavy or sharp-cornered pallets Thicker film resists punctures and holds heavier loads.
- Cast vs blown
- Cast film for clear, quiet, easy unwinding; blown film for higher puncture resistance How the film is made changes its cling, noise and toughness.
- Width
- Narrow rolls (a few inches) for bundling; wide hand rolls (around 18 in) for pallets Wider film covers a load in fewer passes.
- Core and handle
- Check the core size fits your dispenser or handle Mismatched cores will not mount.
Brands that matter
- Duck: Consumer-friendly stretch wrap with handles for moving.
- Uline: Wide industrial selection by gauge and type.
What to avoid
