Stretch Film for Pallet Wrapping: Hand, Machine, Jumbo and Colored Rolls
JUHONG makes four types of stretch film rolls for pallet wrapping: hand, machine, jumbo and colored. All are cast on our own lines in Changzhou, China. Choose the roll type by how you wrap, then set thickness (8–50 µm), roll weight and color.
Hand stretch wrap for wrapping by hand or with a dispenser. Also in mini, coreless and extended-core rolls.
Machine stretch wrap for turntable, rotary arm and ring wrappers. Most lines run 500 mm rolls on a 76 mm core.
Jumbo mother rolls for converters who slit and rewind them into hand and machine rolls under their own brand.
Black stretch film hides goods in transit. White, blue and custom colors help sort loads by customer or destination.
Custom Formulas: Anti-Static and Recycled Content
We can add an anti-static additive or recycled resin to the film formula, and set color, core, label and packing to suit your order. Tell us the load, the wrapper and the target market, and we will quote the formula that fits.
Anti-static film
An additive that reduces static build-up on electronics and dust-sensitive loads.
Recycled content
Recycled resin in the formula. The ratio is confirmed with your quotation.
Film Series: Xtr11, Optima 7 and Base 5
JUHONG cast stretch film comes in three co-extruded layer structures: Xtr11 with 11 layers, Optima 7 with 7 layers and Base 5 with 5 layers. The series sets the layer structure and the color options. Thickness and roll weight follow the specification table for each roll type.
Xtr11
Our 11-layer high performance stretch film: clear, tear resistant, with cross-reinforced layers for puncture resistance and load stability.
Clear only
Heavy-duty loads with sharp corners or rough surfaces, where a thin film still has to resist punctures and tears
Optima 7
A 7-layer film that sits between Xtr11 and Base 5.
Clear, black, white, custom
Machine and hand wrapping where the 11-layer structure is more than the load needs
Base 5
A 5-layer film and our everyday choice for standard pallet wrapping.
Clear, black, white, custom
Standard pallet loads, and buyers who compare cost per pallet first
The diagrams show the number of layers in each series, not layer thickness. Ask for the data sheet of the series you are comparing, and test it on your own wrapper before you choose.

Color Options by Roll Type
Black stretch film hides goods in transit; white and blue help sort loads by customer or destination. Color depends on roll type and thickness, as below. Thinner film is clear only. For opaque and tinted options, see our colored stretch film page.
| Roll type | Colors | Thickness for color |
|---|---|---|
| Hand film | Black, white, blue, custom | 15–35 µm |

Stretch Film Gauge to Micron Chart
Roll labels give thickness in gauge or in microns. To convert, multiply gauge by 0.254.
| Microns | Mil | Gauge | Common trade label |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 µm | 0.47 | 47 | 47 gauge |
| 15 µm | 0.59 | 59 | 60 gauge |
| 17 µm | 0.67 | 67 | 70 gauge |
| 20 µm | 0.79 | 79 | 80 gauge |
| 23 µm | 0.91 | 91 | 90 gauge |
| 25 µm | 0.98 | 98 | 100 gauge |
| 30 µm | 1.18 | 118 | 120 gauge |
Width, Core and Roll Weight
The most common width is 500 mm (about 20 in), and 450 mm (about 18 in) is the usual alternative for hand wrap. When you compare quotes, compare net film weight, because the core adds to the gross weight of the roll.
| Roll type | Core | Common width |
|---|---|---|
| Hand film | 1, 1.5, 2 or 3 in; extended core; coreless | 500 mm, 450 mm |
| Mini roll | Extended core; coreless | 100, 125 mm |
| Machine film | 76 mm (3 in) | 500 mm |
| Jumbo roll | 76 mm (3 in) | 250–500 mm |
How to Calculate Roll Length and Net Weight
LLDPE has a density of about 0.92 g/cm³, so you can work out length from weight. A 500 mm × 20 µm film gives about 108.7 m per kg, so a 300 m roll has about 2.76 kg of film.
| Width × thickness | Meters per kg | 300 m roll |
|---|---|---|
| 500 mm × 17 µm | ≈ 127.9 m | ≈ 2.35 kg |
| 500 mm × 20 µm | ≈ 108.7 m | ≈ 2.76 kg |
| 500 mm × 23 µm | ≈ 94.5 m | ≈ 3.17 kg |
| 450 mm × 20 µm | ≈ 120.8 m | ≈ 2.48 kg |
Calculated values for net film weight, not including the core.
How to Choose Stretch Film for Your Pallet Load
Choose stretch film in four steps: how you wrap, the load profile, the route, then the cost per pallet. The right film is the thinnest one that still holds the load, so confirm it with a trial on your own wrapper before a bulk order.
Match the film to the wrapper
Hand wrapping uses hand film. Turntable, rotary arm, ring and robot wrappers use machine film, made for the higher tension of a wrapper.
Set the gauge by load profile
Pallet weight and height, load shape, sharp edges and gaps between cartons decide how thick the film must be.
Allow for the route and storage
Square cartons going by truck can use thinner film than a tall, uneven load going to sea. Cold storage and outdoor storage need extra margin.
Compare cost per pallet
Compare the grams of film each pallet uses, not the price of the roll. Pre-stretch is the main lever: our film stretches 1:1.2 to 1:5 on a powered carriage, depending on thickness.
Machine Compatibility: Turntable, Rotary Arm and Ring Wrappers
Send us your wrapper model, film carriage, pre-stretch setting and rotation speed. We match roll width, core and film to those settings and recommend a trial on your own line before a bulk order.
Turntable
The load sits on a turntable and rotates, so the film wraps around it from the bottom up.
Robot
A self-propelled wrapper drives around a load that stays on the floor.
Horizontal ring
Long loads such as board stacks, profiles and pipes run on a conveyor through a rotating ring.
Hand wrapping
An operator walks the roll around the load, usually with a hand dispenser.
Starting Film Thickness by Pallet Profile
The same product can need a different gauge once the pallet stops being a neat cube. These are starting points from customer runs, not test results; confirm the film on your own load.
| Pallet profile | What it looks like | Starting thickness | Film series | Add |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Regular | Square cartons, even layers, no gaps at the corners | 15–20 µm | Base 5 / Optima 7 | — |
| Slightly irregular | Mixed carton sizes, small gaps, a little overhang | 20–25 µm | Optima 7 / Xtr11 | — |
| Very irregular | Sharp edges, odd shapes, or loose parts that move | 25 µm+ | Xtr11 | Edge boards or PET strapping |
Stretch Film Gauge by Industry
Typical specifications from our customers. Each plant sets its own spec for its load and line, so use these as a starting point for your trial. Flooring, wheel hub, chemical fiber and similar plants run almost entirely on machine film.
| Industry | Hand film | Machine film |
|---|---|---|
| Solar | 500 mm × 18–20 µm | 500 mm × 20–28 µm |
| Paper and paper rolls | 500 mm × 15–20 µm | 500 mm × 10–28 µm |
| Gypsum board, powders | 500 mm × 20 µm | 500 mm × 18–25 µm |
| Flooring, cold room panels | Rarely used | 500 mm × 20–30 µm |
| Glass | 450–500 mm × 20 µm | 500 mm × 25 µm |
| Appliances | 500 mm × 20 µm | 500 mm × 20 µm |
| Refractory, bricks, wheel hubs | Rarely used | 500 mm × 25 µm |
| Cans and beverages | Rarely used | 300 mm × 20 µm; 500 mm ×15- 25 µm |
| Chemical fiber | Rarely used | 500 mm × 20–28 µm |
Illustrative Film Weight per Pallet
- 500 mm × 20 µm film weighs≈ 9.2 g/m
- Assume 16 wraps around a 1.2 × 1.0 m pallet (4.4 m per wrap)≈ 70 m
- At 1:3 pre-stretch, film drawn from the roll≈ 23 m
- Film used per pallet≈ 215 g
Pre-Stretch Ratio, Film Usage and Cost per Pallet
This is an illustrative calculation, not a measured customer result. It assumes a film density of 0.92 g/cm³, a 1.2 × 1.0 m pallet, an assumed 16 wraps (about 70 m of stretched film on the pallet) and a final-to-original length ratio of 3:1. Actual consumption depends on overlap, load shape, film and machine settings. Multiply the grams by your cost per kilogram and confirm with a trial.
- Higher pre-stretch gives more meters from each kilogram.
- Thinner film can do the same job once it passes a trial on your load.
- Send us your current film and pallet count, and we will compare grams per pallet.
Why Stretch Film Breaks, and What to Change
Most breaks come from one of four causes. Find where the film breaks, then change one thing at a time.
| Where it breaks | Likely cause | What to change |
|---|---|---|
| At a corner | Film too thin for the edge, or no corner protection | Go up one gauge or add edge boards |
| Along the roll edge | Roll damaged in handling, or a weak slit edge | Check a new roll before loading it |
| At high pre-stretch | The wrapper pulls beyond what the film can take | Lower the pre-stretch setting or use a higher grade |
| Same place on every pallet | Film carriage, rollers or the load itself | Check the carriage and rollers; let cold rolls reach room temperature |
Stretch Film Dispensers and Wrapping Equipment
A stretch film dispenser or stretch wrap dispenser saves the operator’s hands and gives more even tension in hand wrapping. Match the dispenser to the roll width and core size. Ask us about the dispenser that fits your rolls. For automatic wrappers, send us the machine model and we will match the film.
Hand Stretch Film Dispenser
For hand film rolls on a paper core. The operator holds the handle instead of the roll.
Product demo and live use of our hand stretch film dispenser. Watch on YouTube
- Even tension across the film width, so each wrap stretches the same.
- No cut hands or sore wrists from holding the roll.
- Tell us your roll width and core size and we match the dispenser.
Wrappers Our Machine Film Runs On
We supply machine stretch film for six common wrapper types. Send us the make, model and pre-stretch setting and we match the roll width, core and gauge.

Fully automatic wrapping on the conveyor line.
What Is Stretch Film? Stretch Wrap and Pallet Wrap Explained
Stretch film is a thin, highly stretchable plastic film made mostly from linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), a thermoplastic in the LDPE family. Stretch wrap, stretch wrap film, pallet wrap, pallet stretch wrap, plastic stretch wrap and wrapping film all describe the same material. Packers pull it tightly around a load for secure wrapping and to keep the goods together as one unit, a process also called unitizing, and the load stays stable through shipping and transportation by truck or container. It keeps dust and moisture off the cartons and reduces product damage. Buyers use stretch film to hold boxes, furniture and other objects together without a pallet.
How Stretch Film Holds a Pallet: Stretch, Cling and Load Containment
Stretched film tries to return to its original length. That elastic recovery keeps a steady force on the load, which is called load containment or containment force. Cling makes each layer stick to the one below it, so the wrap holds without tape, glue or heat and leaves no residue on the goods. Film can have one-sided or two-sided cling; with one-sided cling film, the slip side faces out so wrapped pallets do not stick together. Good stretch wrap also needs enough puncture resistance to survive corners and edges.
Cast vs Blown Stretch Film
Cast stretch wrap is extruded through a flat die onto chilled rollers. The cast extrusion process and the cooling process give a clear stretch film that unwinds quietly and holds an even gauge, so barcodes stay readable. Blown stretch wrap is cooled as an air bubble. It is hazier and louder to unwind, and it is often chosen for tear resistance on rough loads. JUHONG makes cast stretch film on 11-layer and 5-layer co-extrusion lines.
Stretch Film vs Shrink Wrap and Cling Film
Stretch wrap is designed to be pulled tight at room temperature with no heat. Shrink wrap, or shrink film, including pallet shrink wrap, is fitted loosely and heated until it contracts around the product, so it needs a heat gun or tunnel. Cling film is a much thinner kitchen and food wrap, and it is not made for securing pallets.
When Stretch Film Is Not Enough: Sharp Edges, Heavy Loads and Outdoor Storage
Stretch film holds light and medium loads well, but some jobs need a different or additional solution. We also make strapping, so we can quote either one.
| Situation | Risk | What to use |
|---|---|---|
| Sharp corners or protruding parts | Film punctures and the tear runs | Thicker film, corner protection, or PET strap over the wrap |
| Very heavy or rigid bundles | Film stretches and the load moves | PET strapping or steel strapping |
| Long outdoor storage | Standard film is not UV stabilized | Cover the load or store it indoors |
| Direct contact with food | Pallet film is made for outer wrapping | Ask us for the food contact test report and confirm your market rules |
Cast Stretch Film Manufacturing: Inside Our Stretch Film Factory
JUHONG started stretch film production in 2021 at its factory in Changzhou, China. The plant runs two 11-layer lines and two 5-layer lines, with three slitting and rewinding units, and makes about 58 t a day. In co-extrusion, separate layers of LLDPE resin are joined as one cast film. Surface layers carry the cling and slip, and the core and functional layers carry the strength.
11-Layer Stretch Film Structure: Five Layer Functions
Each layer group does one job. Point at or tap a layer card to lift that layer out of the stack.
Simplified schematic. Colors show layer functions; spacing and thickness are not to scale.
Skin / Cling Layer
The cling surface helps successive wraps hold together around the pallet.
Bulk Core Layers
Repeated core layers form the body of the film and carry most of its strength.
Functional Nanolayers
Thin functional zones sit between the bulk core layers in the co-extruded structure.
Central Functional Layer
A dedicated functional layer sits at the center of the multilayer structure.
Skin / Slip Layer
On one-sided cling film, the slip surface faces out so wrapped pallets do not stick together.
Co-Extruded, Not Laminated
All layers leave one die together while the resin is still molten, so the film has no glued seam between layers.
Stretch Film Production Process: 11 Steps from Resin to Packed Roll
Every roll runs through the same line in this order.
Feeding & Plasticizing
- 1Material feedResin and additives are weighed for each layer.
- 2Material suctionVacuum loaders carry resin to the extruder hoppers.

Stretch Film Testing and Quality Control
We check thickness, width, roll weight, puncture resistance and elongation in our own lab, and we send film samples to SGS. See how we inspect each product on our Quality Control page.
SGS Test Results: ASTM D4649 and BB/T 0024
SGS tested 20 µm samples of our film against ASTM D4649 and the Chinese standard BB/T 0024-2018. These results apply to the samples tested.
| Test | Method | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Elongation at break (machine / transverse) | ASTM D882 | 550% / 770% |
| Protrusion puncture | ASTM D5748 | 1.35 Nm |
| Tear resistance (machine / transverse) | ASTM D1922 | 1 N / 3 N |
| Elongation at break | BB/T 0024-2018 | 570% / 750% (required ≥350% / ≥500%) |
| Puncture force | BB/T 0024-2018 | 16.8 N (required ≥12 N) |
| Cling, unstretched / 50% stretched | BB/T 0024-2018 | 3.8 N / 3.5 N (required ≥2.5 N / ≥2.0 N) |
| Tensile retention | BB/T 0024-2018 | 80% (required ≥70%) |
Elongation at break is measured in a lab until the film snaps. Working pre-stretch on a wrapper is lower.

Is Stretch Film Recyclable?
LLDPE stretch film can be recycled where film collection is available. Buyers can also cut plastic use with down-gauging, which means using thinner film that still holds the load. Recycled stretch film is available if you want recycled content in the formula.
Stretch Film Packaging, Storage and Container Loading
Rolls ship in cartons, or as bare rolls stacked on pallets. Cartons can also go straight into the container without pallets. Stretch film keeps for one year from production when stored clean, dry and cool.
Carton Packing
Example: our common hand roll, 500 mm wide, 20 µm thick, 5 kg net per roll. Mini rolls ship with handles in the same carton.
Hand rolls
4 rolls per carton
Four rolls stand upright, two by two, on their cores.
Hand rolls
6 rolls per carton
Six rolls in a two-by-three carton, for buyers who want fewer cartons to handle.
Mini rolls
24 rolls and one handle
Two layers of 12 mini rolls, with one reusable handle per carton.
Mini rolls
12 rolls, a handle each
One layer of 12 mini rolls, each with its own handle, ready for retail or site use.

How to Vet a Stretch Film Supplier in China
When buyers compare stretch wrap suppliers, price per kilogram is the easy part. Consistency across containers is what separates a factory from a trading company.
We answer these before a first order. Send a roll label or your specification and we will reply with the data sheet and a sample.
- Ask what the supplier makes and what it buys in. A factory can explain its cast lines, resin grades and daily output.
- Ask for test reports that name the method, the sample and the result.
- Test a sample on your own wrapper at your normal pre-stretch.
- Get the written specification for repeat orders: thickness tolerance, width, core, roll weight and packing.
- Confirm MOQ, lead time and how a quality claim is handled.
- Visit the plant or book a video call once the order size justifies it.
From Enquiry to Repeat Order
- Send your specification or roll label.
- Test a free sample on your own load.
- Confirm the film, packing and order quantity.
- We produce in 15–30 days after the 30% deposit, then ship once the balance is paid or against a copy of the B/L.
- Repeat orders run to the same written specification.
Stretch Film FAQ
Short answers to the questions distributors and packing managers ask us about stretch film.
What is stretch film used for?
It wraps pallets and bundles goods so that they stay together in storage and transport, and it protects cartons from dust and moisture.
Is stretch film the same as stretch wrap, pallet wrap or cling film?
The first three are the same product. Cling film is a thinner food wrap.
Is stretch film the same as shrink wrap?
No. Stretch film needs no heat, while shrink wrap needs heat to contract around the product.
What is the difference between hand and machine stretch film?
Hand film is lighter and made for manual wrapping. Machine film comes in heavier rolls and is made for the higher pre-stretch and tension of a wrapping machine. See hand stretch film and machine stretch film.
Which is better, cast or blown stretch film?
Cast film is clearer, quieter and more even in gauge. Blown film is often chosen for tear resistance on rough loads. We make cast film.
What gauge of stretch film do I need?
80 gauge, about 20 µm, is the usual choice for standard pallets. Lighter loads can use thinner film, and heavy or sharp-edged loads need thicker film. Send us the load details and test a sample.
How much stretch film do I need per pallet?
It depends on pallet size, height, the number of wraps and the pre-stretch. The most accurate way is to weigh a roll before and after wrapping a known number of pallets.
How much does stretch film cost, and what changes the price?
Price depends on thickness, width, roll weight, color, packing, quantity and the current resin price. Send us your specification for a quote.
How long can stretch film be stored?
The shelf life is one year from the production date. Store rolls in a clean, dry, cool place and use them soon after delivery.
Do you offer pre-stretched, vented, printed or UV stretch film?
Vented stretch film has die-cut holes that allow products to breathe. Vented pallet wrap, printed film and UV (UVI) film are not standard products today. Our film stretches 1:1.2 to 1:5 on your wrapper, depending on thickness, so you do not need film pre-stretched at the factory (see machine stretch film). For a vented or printed project, tell us and we will advise you.
Do you offer private label stretch film?
Yes. We pack it under your brand, with your labels and cartons, for standard and custom sizes.
Which test reports can you provide?
We can provide SGS performance reports, REACH, RoHS, SDS and PPWR-related test documents. Tell us which documents your market needs.
What HS code is used for stretch film?
It is usually declared under HS 3920.10, plastic film of ethylene polymers. The full national code depends on the destination country, so confirm it with your customs broker.
Can stretch film be used in cold storage?
Standard film works in cold rooms, but the film stiffens and loses some cling as the temperature drops. Tell us the temperature and how long the load stays there, and we will suggest a gauge for a trial.
How do I compare two stretch film quotes?
Compare net film weight, thickness and grams used per pallet. The price per roll alone can mislead. Ask for the thickness tolerance and the packing details, because a heavy gross weight can come from a thicker core or more carton.
