Manual pallet wrap, also known as hand stretch wrap or hand pallet wrap, is a type of packaging material used to secure and protect goods on pallets during storage or transit. Unlike machine-applied stretch wrap, which is applied using specialized equipment, manual pallet wrap is applied by hand.

Here are some key features and characteristics of manual pallet wrap:

  1. Material: Manual pallet wrap is typically made of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) or similar plastic material. This plastic film is strong, durable, and stretchable, allowing it to conform tightly to the shape of the pallet and its contents.
  2. Stretchability: One of the primary characteristics of manual pallet wrap is its stretchability. The film can be stretched manually during application, which helps to create tension and secure the load tightly to the pallet. This stretching action also allows the wrap to form a protective barrier around the goods, helping to prevent movement, shifting, or damage during handling and transportation.
  3. Thickness: Manual pallet wrap is available in various thicknesses, typically measured in microns or gauge. Thicker films offer greater puncture resistance and strength, which may be necessary for heavier or more irregularly shaped loads. Thinner films are more economical and may be suitable for lighter loads or applications where puncture resistance is less critical.
  4. Width and Length: Manual pallet wrap comes in different widths and lengths to accommodate various pallet sizes and load configurations. Common widths range from 12 inches to 20 inches, while lengths can vary from a few hundred feet to several thousand feet per roll.
  5. Handling: Applying manual pallet wrap requires some skill and technique to ensure effective load containment. Typically, the wrap is unwound from a handheld dispenser or roll holder and wrapped around the pallet and its contents in overlapping layers. Proper tension and coverage are essential to achieve secure and stable packaging.
  6. Compatibility: Manual pallet wrap is compatible with a wide range of palletized goods and materials, including boxes, cartons, bags, and other types of packaging. It is commonly used in warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and shipping departments to prepare palletized shipments for transport.
  7. Cost-Effectiveness: Manual pallet wrap is generally more cost-effective than machine-applied stretch wrap, as it does not require expensive machinery or specialized equipment. It is suitable for smaller-scale operations or situations where automated wrapping is not feasible or necessary.

Overall, manual pallet wrap provides a convenient and efficient solution for securing palletized loads, offering protection against damage, tampering, and loss during storage and transportation. Its versatility, affordability, and ease of use make it a popular choice for many packaging applications.
