Pallet Wrappers

What is a pallet wrapper and how does it work?

A pallet wrapper is a type of packaging machinery used to securely wrap pallets with stretch film, stabilising loads for storage and transport. It works by rotating the pallet while applying film under controlled tension, ensuring even coverage. This improves load stability, prevents damage, and protects goods from dust and moisture.

What types of pallet wrappers are available?

Antalis offers a range of pallet wrapping solutions, including:
• Semi-automatic pallet wrapping machines – Ideal for medium-volume operations, requiring some manual setup.
• Fully-automatic pallet wrapping machines – Designed for high-volume production lines, minimising manual handling.
• Turntable pallet wrappers – The most common type, rotating the pallet on a turntable for even wrapping.

How do pallet wrappers help reduce packaging waste?

Pallet wrappers optimise film usage by applying the right amount of stretch film with controlled tension. This reduces excess film use, cuts costs, and minimises environmental impact. Advanced machines also support pre-stretch technology, maximising film coverage while using less material. For more information on optimal use of stretch film see our solutions & services page.

What safety precautions should be taken when operating a pallet wrapper?

• Ensure operators are trained and follow manufacturer guidelines.
• Keep hands and clothing away from moving parts.
• Use designated safety zones to prevent accidents.
• Regularly inspect the machine for wear and tear.
• Follow proper loading and unloading procedures to avoid instability.

What types of stretch film does Antalis sell for pallet wrapping?

Antalis offers two main types of stretch film:
• Hand stretch wrap – Ideal for smaller operations and manual wrapping.
• Machine stretch wrap – Designed for use with pallet wrappers, available in standard and super rolls for different film carriage types.
