Machine pallet wrap can reduce the amount of film used per pallet because powered pre-stretch rollers apply consistent tension and stretch the film much further than manual wrapping. Hand wrapping typically achieves around 60 to 70% stretch, while machine systems can reach around 200 to 250%, allowing each roll to cover more pallets. Machine wrapping can also reduce labour time, operator fatigue, roll changes and inconsistent tension across loads. As a general guide, businesses wrapping more than around 20 pallets a day may benefit from reviewing machine wrapping, while lower-volume or irregular operations may continue using hand wrap. The key is to match the film, micron and pre-stretch setting to the load, as excessive stretching can affect containment.
