How to choose stretch film

Choosing the right stretch film

The best place to start is your pallet load profile. They're broken down into 3 different, but easy to identify profiles. A, B, and C. How to choose your stretch film is as easy as identifying the type of load profile you use and going from there.

Before we link you directly to the film you need, take a look at the descriptions below to see which load profile you're working with.

A profile load

• No protruding objects
• Basic square load
• Very stable

  ---

B profile load

• Protruding objects of 2" or less
• Semi-stable load

  ---

C profile load

• Protruding objects 2" or more
• Unstable to semi-unstable load

Now that you know a little more about what kind of load profile you're working with, we'll tell you the right stretch film you should be using for each.
