Hand Stretch Film – the Complete Buying Guide
Hand stretch film – also known as pallet wrap, cling film or stretch wrap – is one of the most versatile packaging materials in any warehouse or shipping operation. It is wrapped around goods by hand, stretches under tension and clings back to itself on release, creating a firm, self-adhesive wrap with no glue and no tools required. The result is a secure, tight wrap that holds goods together and protects them from dust, moisture and damage.
At Pioneer Verpackungen, hand stretch film is available in three thicknesses – 17, 20 and 23 micron – and in roll lengths from 150m to 300m, so you can find the most economical combination of strength and quantity for every situation.
Which thickness is right – 17, 20 or 23 micron?
Film thickness is measured in microns (my). The higher the number, the thicker, stronger and more tear-resistant the film. As a general guide:
- ✓ 17 micron – light and efficient: The thinnest variant, suited to light to medium loads, lower stacking weights and frequent short-distance transport. The best cost-per-metre option for businesses consuming high volumes of film each week.
- ✓ 20 micron – the all-rounder: The mid-range thickness covers the vast majority of standard applications. A well-balanced combination of tear resistance, stretchability and material use – the first choice for typical warehouse and shipping operations.
- ✓ 23 micron – heavy-duty and reliable: The strongest variant for heavy goods, high stacking weights and intensive daily use. Holds reliably even under high stress and on irregular load shapes.
Which roll length suits your operation?
All thicknesses are available in multiple roll lengths. Length affects weight, handling and cost per metre:
- ✓ Shorter rolls (150m): Light and compact – ideal for smaller businesses, multiple work locations or limited storage space. Easy to carry and hand out to staff.
- ✓ Mid-length rolls (250m): A solid middle ground – enough film for regular use without being too heavy or bulky to handle comfortably.
- ✓ Long rolls (300m): The best cost-per-metre – ideal for businesses wrapping large volumes daily who want to reorder less frequently.
Typical applications
- ✓ Pallet wrapping before shipping and transport – holding cartons and packages firmly together and preventing movement
- ✓ Bundling long goods – securely grouping pipes, profiles, battens and rods
- ✓ Warehouse protection – shielding stored goods from dust, dirt and moisture
- ✓ Furniture and removals – locking drawers, protecting surfaces from scratches, securing bulky items
- ✓ Production and manufacturing – bundling semi-finished parts between production steps
- ✓ Vehicle transport – stabilising loose or uneven loads on flatbeds and vehicles
