STRETCH FILM
Stretch wrap is an absolute necessity to secure your pallet shipments. Cast or blown stretch wrap is available. The cast stretch film is quieter and less expensive but is mainly used for uniform loads. Cast or blown can be used with a hand dispenser or a machine. Available additives are anti-static, VCI(vapor corrosive inhibitor for rust prevention), UVI(Ultraviolet inhibitors for long exposure to sunlight), or color tints for identification. Also, printing is available with notations such as “DO NOT BREAK DOWN PALLET”, “DO NOT DOUBLE STACK”, or “FRAGILE”.

STRAPPING MATERIAL
POLYESTER
Polyester strapping is designed for medium to heavy-duty palletizing and unitizing applications. Polyester strapping can either be applied by hand tools or by power strapping equipment.
STEEL
Steel strapping is manufactured to meet rigid quality specifications and close tolerances. It is ideal for all general applications and is available in a number of different widths and gauges.
POLYPROPYLENE
Polypropylene is less expensive and easier to use than steel strapping for bundling items, sealing oversized cartons and securing palletized loads. Use open seals with manual tensioner.
MANUAL TOOLS
Manual hand tools are the most basic form of strap application equipment. They are perfect for operations that do not have access to power sources or do not require the speed of powered hand tools.
