Buyer guide

Compare stretch film cost per pallet—not price per kilogram alone.

A lower price per kg can still cost more if it uses more film, interrupts wrapping or produces unstable loads.

Use three comparable measures.

1. Film grams per palletWeigh film consumption across comparable pallet profiles.
2. Machine continuityRecord breaks, stops and operator intervention during a defined trial.
3. Load stabilityAssess containment and load condition after the handling route that matters to you.

Keep the trial fair.

Use the same pallet, load geometry, wrapper and target containment level. A thickness comparison alone does not demonstrate a lower total packaging cost.
