Machine Stretch Wrap
Custom Machine Stretch Wrap
Machine stretch wrap is engineered for high-speed, automated pallet wrappers, delivering tight and consistent loads at production-floor speeds. With superior pre-stretch capacity and powerful load-holding force, machine stretch film keeps freight stable through every leg of the supply chain — from the warehouse floor to the customer’s dock.
At Contipack Inc., we manufacture machine stretch wrap built for both semi-automatic and fully automatic systems. As part of our pallet wraps range, our machine grade stretch wrap combines high performance, low-gauge efficiency, and reliable supply for warehouses, 3PLs, and distribution operations of every size.
Built for Automated Pallet Wrapping
Machine stretch film is fundamentally different from hand wrap. It’s formulated to be pulled and pre-stretched mechanically — up to 250–300% — so a single roll wraps far more pallets with consistent load integrity and far less downtime.
- High pre-stretch ratio reduces film consumption per pallet
- Consistent puncture, tear, and cling performance
- Power pre-stretch film tuned for high-throughput lines
- Compatible with both rotary arm and turntable wrappers
- Optimized cling layer for tight, slip-free loads
If your facility uses both manual and automated wrapping, you may want to compare our cast stretch wrap options, which include both machine and hand grades for mixed environments.
When to Choose Machine Over Hand Wrap
Hand wrapping makes sense for small operations, but as pallet volume grows, an automatic stretch wrap system pays for itself quickly. The break-even point is usually around 50 pallets per day, after which machine stretch wrap delivers measurable savings in film, labor, and worker safety.
- Higher load consistency (no variation between operators)
- Lower film cost per pallet thanks to pre-stretch efficiency
- Reduced strain and injury risk for workers
- Faster, more predictable wrap cycles
- Better economics for facilities running 50+ pallets/day
For lower-volume sites or mixed-load situations, our hand stretch wrap remains the right tool. Many operations stock both for flexibility across shifts and SKUs.

What is machine stretch wrap?
Machine stretch wrap is pallet wrapping film designed for use on automatic and semi-automatic stretch wrap machines. It supports high pre-stretch ratios that lower film cost per pallet while delivering consistent load containment.
What gauge of machine stretch film should I use?
It depends on your load weight, sharpness, and stability. Lighter gauges suit stable, uniform pallets, while heavier gauges and high-performance machine stretch wrap are better for heavy, irregular, or sharp-edged loads.
Can I order custom widths and quantities?
Yes. We supply machine stretch wrap rolls in standard sizes and can produce custom widths, gauges, and bulk machine stretch wrap quantities to match your equipment and volume.
What’s the difference between machine and hand stretch wrap?
Machine stretch film is formulated for mechanical pre-stretch on automated wrappers, while hand wrap is designed for manual application. Machine wrap typically lowers cost per pallet at higher volumes.
