Pallet wrap plays an important role in securing pallet loads during storage, shipping and transport. Whether you're moving products between warehouses or preparing goods for delivery, the right pallet wrap helps improve stability while protecting pallet contents from movement and damage.
At Kite Packaging, we offer a wide range of pallet wrap products, including hand pallet wrap, machine pallet wrap, stretch film and pallet wrapping machines. Available in different colours, film grades and specifications, our products are designed to support businesses of all sizes.
Different Types of Pallet Wrap
Choosing the right pallet wrap depends on the type of load being secured and the environment it will travel through. Different types of stretch wrap offer varying levels of strength, flexibility and performance.
Two of the most common film types are cast film and blown film.
- Cast film provides excellent clarity and a quieter unwind during application.
- Blown film offers greater puncture resistance and strength for heavier loads.
- Clear pallet wrap allows labels and pallet contents to remain visible.
- Black pallet wrap helps conceal products during shipping and storage.
With a range of options available, businesses can choose pallet stretch wrap that matches their requirements while helping improve load stability and security.
Hand Pallet Wrap
Hand pallet wrap is a popular choice for businesses wrapping lower volumes of pallet loads or working across multiple locations. It provides a cost effective solution without the need for pallet wrapping machines.
Our hand pallet wrap options include:
- Flush core film for use with pallet wrap dispensers
- Extended core wrap with built-in handles
- Coreless film for reduced waste
- Clear and black pallet wrap options
Extended core products are particularly useful because the built-in handles make hand application easier and more comfortable. Coreless film provides an alternative option for businesses looking to reduce waste while maintaining performance.
Combined with the right dispenser, hand wrap can help improve efficiency while reducing strain during repetitive wrapping tasks.
Machine Stretch Wrap And Pallet Wrapping Machines
Machine stretch wrap is designed for businesses using pallet wrapping machines as part of their operation. Manufactured from high-performance materials, machine pallet wrap helps secure pallet loads efficiently while reducing film use.
Semi-automatic pallet wrapping machines are ideal for medium to high-volume environments where consistency and speed are important. For businesses handling irregular pallet loads or wrapping pallets in different locations, robot pallet wrappers can provide additional flexibility.
Benefits of machine pallet wrap include:
- Consistent wrap application
- Improved load stability
- Reduced film consumption
- Faster wrapping times
- Cost effective operation
For businesses looking to improve efficiency further, the 5x5 system offers many of the benefits associated with machine wrapping while remaining a hand-operated solution.
Stretch Film And Specialist Wrapping Products
Alongside standard pallet wrap, we offer a range of specialist products designed for different applications and load types.
Our range includes:
- Mini rolls for bundling smaller items
- Ventilated pallet wrap for products requiring airflow
- Black pallet wrap for increased product security
- Custom printed stretch wrap
- Heat shrink wrap
- Polythene pallet top covers and hoods
- Thermal pallet covers
- Pallet stabilising bands
These products help businesses protect pallet contents from dust, moisture and handling during transport and storage. With a variety of stretch film options available, it's easier to find the perfect solution for specific packaging requirements.
Choosing The Right Pallet Wrap
Choosing the right pallet wrap starts with understanding your load requirements. Factors such as pallet weight, product shape, storage conditions, and transport methods can all influence which film is best suited to the job.
Businesses handling heavy loads may prefer blown film because of its strength and puncture resistance, while cast film can be a good option where clarity and quieter application are important.
If you're unsure which pallet wrapping film is right for your operation, our team is happy to provide guidance. We also offer a free pallet wrap audit that reviews your current wrapping process and helps identify opportunities to reduce waste, improve stability and save money.
