Hand Stretch Wrap
How does hand stretch wrap secure pallets during transit?
Hand stretch wrap works by tightly wrapping around pallets, creating a secure unit that prevents goods from shifting during transit. Its elastic memory keeps loads stable while also protecting against dirt, dust, and moisture. At Antalis, options such as pre-stretch wrap simplifies this process, reducing operator effort and film use while maintaining load stability protection.
What is the difference between blown and cast stretch wrap?
The key difference lies in how the films are manufactured. Blown stretch wrap is robust, offering very high tear strength and puncture resistance, making it ideal for irregular or heavy loads. Cast stretch wrap, on the other hand, is smoother and clearer, giving excellent transparency for barcode scanning and identification. Antalis stocks both options, so businesses can choose based on whether durability or visibility is the priority.
Which hand stretch wrap is best value for high-usage warehouses?
The most suitable option depends on how your business measures value. Standard hand stretch film is often the lowest-cost product per roll, making it a popular choice for many operations. However, pre-stretched options like grip stretch wrap can improve efficiency by reducing plastic use, lowering operator fatigue, and speeding up application — factors that can deliver savings in time and labour. At Antalis, we offer a full range of hand stretch wraps to suit different priorities, whether your focus is minimising unit cost or maximising efficiency.
What type of hand stretch wrap offers the best puncture resistance?
For loads with sharp edges or uneven surfaces, blown stretch wrap is the best option. Its manufacturing process creates a tougher film with superior puncture resistance and tear strength. This makes it particularly suited for challenging applications where extra durability is essential. Antalis’ blown films are also available in clear, blue, and black options for added flexibility in securing pallets.
