June 20, 2019

Bundling film has a smaller width (2”, 3” or 5”) and is hand applied
  • Applications
  • Securing long lengths of product, such as extruded metal, wood molding, PVC lengths, pipe, rebar, etc
  • Bundling together multiple small boxes so they ship as a single unit
  • Advantages
  • Small width
  • Similar application as tape but with no sticky residue
  • Easy to apply and clean to remove
  • Means of Application
  • Standard Bundler – the most common Bundling Film, it comes on a 3” core and often ships with one plastic plug-in handle per case
  • Extended Core– Comes on a 1” core which extends almost 5” beyond the film, creating a built-in handle for each roll.  Some shipwith a rubber grip to fit over the extended core.
  • QuikWrap – The most efficient and most ergonomic option, ships on a 1¾” core and with one black plug-in handle per case.  The handle end features a black rubber grip that rotates freely around a core, allowing for easy application and a secure fit into the core of the Stretch Wrap.

    Hand Wrap comes in 12”, 15”, 18”, 20” and 30” widths and is hand applied

    Applications

    Wrapping small pallets of average weight and evenly stacked product

    Large pallet wrapping, but not in large quantities per day
