Hand stretch wrap is commonly used to unitize pallet loads, but also may be used for wrapping smaller items together.
In a low-volume operation, pallet stretch wrap applied manually is a great solution. Hand stretch film is much lighter and easier to wield than machine stretch wrap. It’s still very effective for securing items on a pallet, especially in the hands of someone aware of the proper hand stretch wrap technique.
Use Hand Stretch Wrap When:
- Pallets are too unstable to transport to a stretch wrapper
- Operational set-up does not support wrapping in specific locations
- Variability in package integrity is acceptable to the customer
- Limited warehouse space
- Low pallet volume
