Stretch Film Supply | HPS

Consumables · Stretch film

Stretch film sourced to your wrapper and load.

We supply machine stretch film and hand stretch film across 12 to 20 micron. Because we also service pallet wrappers, we spec from the machine rather than selling you the nearest roll. Get in touch and we'll advise on gauge, core size and pre-stretch ratio.

What we supply

Machine and hand stretch film, sourced to requirement.

We don't hold a warehouse of every gauge and core size. We source what you actually need - which means the spec is right before it arrives, not after you've tried it on your machine.

Machine stretch film

For turntable, rotary arm and mast wrappers. The right gauge depends on your machine's pre-stretch ratio and the load you're wrapping. We'll match the spec to both rather than defaulting to the most common gauge.

Micron grades we work across

12 micron High pre-stretch machines, lighter loads
15 micron General purpose, most machine types
17 micron Medium-heavy loads, mixed pallets
20 micron Heavy or sharp-edged loads

Hand stretch film

Standard hand stretch for manual wrapping. Heavier gauge than machine film because there's no pre-stretch mechanism. Available to run alongside a machine film account - easier to manage one supplier for both.

Typical grades

17 micron Lighter manual wrapping
20 micron General purpose hand wrap

Getting the spec right

The right film depends on the wrapper.

Machine film isn't universal. The gauge, pre-stretch ratio and core size that work in one wrapper can cause film breaks, poor containment or excessive consumption in another. Because we service pallet wrappers, we can advise from the machine spec rather than guessing.

If you've been using the same film for years without issues, we can match that spec. If you've had problems - breaks, poor load security, film running out faster than it should - it's worth a conversation before reordering the same thing.

What we factor in

Wrapper type and pre-stretch ratio

Turntable, rotary arm and mast wrappers all apply film differently. The pre-stretch ratio your machine runs determines which gauge will hold without breaking.

Load type and transit conditions

Light uniform loads need less containment force than mixed, unstable or sharp-edged pallets. Getting the gauge right keeps costs down without compromising load security.

Core diameter

Most machine wrappers take a 76mm core. Some take 50mm. Worth confirming before ordering - a roll that doesn't fit the mandrel is useless.

Tell us your machine and we'll spec the right film.
