Shrink Wrap & Stretch Film for Pallet Wrapping, Bundling & Industrial Packaging
Shrink wrap and stretch film are packaging materials used to secure, bundle, and protect palletized goods during storage and shipping. Stretch film is stretched and wrapped around a load at room temperature to hold it tight through elastic recovery; shrink film is applied loosely and then heat-shrunk to form a tight seal - each suited to different load types and shipping conditions.
Elevated Industrial Solutions stocks stretch wrap, cast banding film, and poly sheeting from Continental Western Corp, Colorado Gulf Packaging, Lenertz Industrial Supply, and Interstate Packaging, in widths from 3″ to 20″+ for hand and machine application.

|---|---|---|
| Stretch Wrap | Stretched by hand or machine, no heat | Standard palletizing, load stabilization |
| Cast Banding Film | Stretched and tensioned by hand | Bundling irregular loads, high-clarity applications |
| Shrink Film | Applied loosely, then heat-shrunk | Irregular or delicate loads needing a tight, formed seal |
Finishing a shipment? Pair your wrap with packaging tapes, boxes, and packing material, or see packaging equipment for dispensers and tools.
Shrink Wrap FAQs
What's the difference between stretch wrap and shrink wrap?
Stretch wrap is stretched around a load at room temperature and holds it tight through elastic recovery - no heat required. Shrink wrap is applied loosely and then heat-shrunk with a heat gun or tunnel to form a tight, conforming seal. Stretch wrap is faster and more common for standard palletizing; shrink wrap is better for irregular or delicate loads.
What gauge stretch wrap should I use for pallets?
For hand-wrapped pallets, 80-gauge stretch film is a common standard. For machine wrapping or heavier, less stable loads, 90-gauge or higher is typically used. Thinner, high-performance films can also be used at similar strength with less material.
Do you sell shrink wrap and stretch film in bulk?
Yes, stretch wrap, cast banding film, and poly sheeting are available in bulk roll quantities with volume pricing for shipping and packaging operations. Open a business account for Net 30 terms.
What width stretch wrap do I need for standard pallets?
18″–20″ wide stretch wrap is standard for covering a full standard pallet (40″x48″) efficiently. Narrower widths (3″–5″) are used for bundling smaller items rather than full pallets.
