How to Choose the Right Pallet Wrap: Hand vs Machine and Micron Guide

Choosing the right pallet wrap depends on your daily pallet volume, load type and wrapping method. Hand pallet wrap is suitable for lower volumes, mixed loads and irregular pallets, while machine wrap is better for operations handling around 15 to 20 or more pallets a day, offering faster and more consistent wrapping. Film thickness also matters, with 15 to 20 micron suited to light loads, 20 to 25 micron for standard commercial pallets, and 25 to 30 micron or higher for heavier, dense or sharp-edged loads. Cast film provides smooth, quiet application for general use, while blown film offers greater puncture and tear resistance for demanding loads. Matching the film type and micron to your actual requirements can improve load stability, reduce film waste and support more efficient packaging operations.
