Choosing the Right Film for Your Application
Cast vs. Blown: The Quick Guide
Choosing the correct film base is critical for machine performance and load security. Our films are engineered to maximize the pre-stretch capabilities of all major machine carriages.
| Feature | Cast Clear | Blown Duty |
|---|---|---|
| Noise | Whisper Quiet | High Tack / Loud |
| Clarity | Optically Clear | Translucent |
| Puncture | Standard | Industrial Max |
Industrial-Grade Reliability
Our entire inventory is held to strict tolerance standards to ensure consistent clinging power, clarity, and tear resistance. From crystal-clear cast films to specialized rust-inhibiting wraps, we provide the technical consistency required for automated high-speed environments.

Understanding film thickness is critical for cost-per-pallet calculations. Our high-performance films allow for "downgauging" - using a thinner, stronger film to achieve the same load containment as thicker, traditional wraps.
| Gauge (Mil) | Micron (µm) | Best Use Case / Load Type |
|---|---|---|
| 60 Gauge | 15.2 Micron | Light loads / Uniform B-type pallets |
| 70 Gauge | 17.8 Micron | Standard shipping / Mid-weight boxes |
| 75 Gauge | 19.1 Micron | Versatile Performance / Multi-purpose |
| 80 Gauge | 20.3 Micron | The Industrial Standard / Most Popular |
| 90 Gauge | 22.9 Micron | Heavy Duty / Increased Puncture Resistance |
| 100 Gauge | 25.4 Micron | Heavy Machinery / C-Type Pallets |
| 115 Gauge | 29.2 Micron | Extreme Duty / High-Tension Wrapping |
| 120 Gauge | 30.5 Micron | Maximum Security / Irregular Industrial Loads |
Advanced Film Technology & Specialty Handling
Chemical Protection
Our UVI and VCI additives are integrated into the film to protect against UV degradation and metal oxidation (rust) without messy oils or coatings.
Anti-Static ESD
Specifically treated Anti-Stat films dissipate static charge during removal - critical for high-value electronics and flammable environments.
Max Airflow
Vented Slit and Pallet Netting provide up to 100% ventilation, preventing condensation for hot-fill food, produce, and nursery stock.
Specialty Sizing
We supply Narrow Width Banding for securing lumber and pipes, plus Extended Core rolls for easy manual application without dispensers.
Branding & Security
Utilize Opaque colors for shipment privacy or Custom Printed logos to create tamper-evident seals for LTL shipments.
Machine Optimized
Every roll is gauged for Total System Compatibility with Dynawrap and Edda carriages, ensuring zero-tear performance at high speeds.

Stretch Film Selection: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Cast and Blown stretch film?
Cast film offers superior clarity and a quieter application, making it ideal for standard loads where scanning barcodes through the wrap is necessary. Blown film offers higher puncture resistance and "cling," making it better for heavy, sharp, or irregular industrial loads.
How do I know which gauge thickness I need?
Gauge depends on your load stability and weight. 60–70 gauge is typically used for lightweight, stable loads. 80 gauge is our industrial standard for most palletized goods, while 100+ gauge is recommended for heavy, irregular, or high-stress industrial applications.
Will this film work on my existing wrapping machine?
Yes. Our machine-grade films are engineered to work with standard power-pre-stretch carriages found on Dynawrap, Edda, and most major orbital or turntable wrappers. If you have a specific pre-stretch requirement, let our team know.
Can I use stretch wrap to bundle long products, like pipes or profiles?
Absolutely. While we recommend horizontal (orbital) wrappers for high-volume bundling, our high-performance films provide the necessary stretch and retention for manual bundling of long products like steel tubing, PVC, or aluminum extrusions.
