How Many Pallets Can Be Wrapper with 1 Roll of Stretch Film

There are a lot of factors that determine how far your stretch film will go, Include pallet dimensions (Lengt, width and height), pallet wrapping machine stretch ratio and the width of roll you are wrapping with.

The power pre-stretch film carriage will allow more pallets to be wrapped with each roll.

You can figure out how many product loads your stretch film will be able to wrap with the correct data and calculations. This enables you to maintain order control, preventing delays and other problems brought on by mismanaged inventory.

Step 1

In order to figure the number of pallets wrapped per roll, you have to determine the amount of film needed to wrap the pallet. The pallet width, length, and height are needed for proper calculations. In addition, the width of the roll being used is needed.

Step 2

Determining the stretch rate will assist in calculating the number of feet per roll of film. With a 250% stretch rate, a standard 1500 ft. roll is stretched to 3750 ft.

It is difficult to maintain a full stretch rate when manually wrapping a pallet. Most people attain a 40%-70% stretch rate while manually wrapping. In contrast, stretch wrap machines can hold a consistent stretch rate every time.

Step 3

With the amount of footage after stretch is applied and the amount of footage needed to wrap a pallet, you can determine how many pallets you can wrap out of one roll of stretch wrap.
