Adhesive Pack Tape Company is a manufacturer of heavy duty stretch film for industrial use for pallets exposed to rough handling, sharp edges, and long transport cycles. Made for heavy industrial pallet loads, metal parts, machinery, building materials, dense cartons, and goods that split standard wrap, the film combines puncture resistance, tear resistance, and high holding force to keep pallets contained when they vibrate, settle, tilt, or shift during storage and shipping.
Product Overview
Heavy Duty Stretch Film For Industrial Use is developed for packaging conditions where ordinary pallet wrap breaks at corners, loses tension, or leaves the load moving after shipment. For industrial pallets, the film must do more than cover the goods. It needs enough containment force to hold heavy or irregular cargo together after the pallet has been moved, stacked, and transported.
This heavy duty stretch wrap film suits metal frames, machine parts, hardware, tiles, panels, bricks, drums, and dense cartons. These loads often have hard edges or uneven contact points that press into the film. Once a small puncture opens, weak film can tear across the web and lose holding force quickly. A 90 gauge film may suit heavier cartons with moderate edges, while 100 or 120 gauge is often selected for hard corners, machinery components, or higher load movement risk. For abrasive cargo, edge protectors or corner boards should be checked together with the film grade.
Benefits
- Stronger load containment:Helps keep palletized goods stable during forklift handling, truck vibration, braking, and warehouse movement.
- Improved puncture resistance:Reduces film breaks caused by hard edges, rough cartons, machinery parts, and building materials.
- Controlled tear growth:Helps stop one small puncture from becoming a full film split around the pallet.
- High holding force:Maintains inward pressure after stretching, reducing load shifting during storage and transit.
- Less rewrapping work:Reduces repeated wrapping caused by broken film, corner splitting, weak film tails, or loose pallets.
- Clear pallet visibility:Heavy duty clear pallet wrap keeps labels, barcodes, carton markings, and inspection points visible.
When Should Standard Stretch Film Be Replaced With a Heavy Duty Grade?
Standard stretch film should be replaced when the same pallet keeps showing corner splits, broken film tails, loose upper layers, or visible movement after transport. These signs usually mean the film lacks puncture resistance, elastic recovery, or holding force for the actual load profile. A high performance heavy duty stretch film is a better fit when pallets include sharp edges, irregular stacking, heavy cartons, or products that settle during transit. For stronger results, check 30%-50% overlap, 2-3 base wraps, reinforced top wraps, and containment force at the top, middle, and bottom.

Applications
- Heavy industrial pallet loads in manufacturing plants and warehouses
- Metal parts, frames, hardware, and fabricated components
- Machinery, equipment parts, tools, and mixed industrial cargo
- Building materials such as tile, brick, stone, panels, and boards
- Dense cartons with sharp edges or uneven stacking profiles
- Export pallets exposed to long-distance transport vibration
- Loads needing stronger load retention and less pallet loosening
How Does Puncture Resistance Protect Sharp-Edge Cargo During Transport?
Puncture resistance matters because many pallet failures begin at one small stress point. A metal bracket, carton corner, tile edge, or rough building material can press into the film during wrapping, then keep stressing the same area during transport vibration. If the puncture spreads, holding force drops and the pallet can loosen. A stronger film helps absorb localized pressure, control tear growth, and keep tension around difficult load profiles. For extremely sharp cargo, use edge protectors and correct wrap-force settings.
FAQ
What is heavy duty stretch film used for?
It is used for heavy industrial pallet loads, sharp-edge cargo, metal parts, machinery, building materials, and pallets needing stronger load containment than standard stretch film.
How do I choose the right thickness or gauge?
Choose by load weight, pallet edge profile, transport distance, and wrapping method. Common heavy-duty choices include 90, 100, and 120 gauge.
Is clear heavy duty pallet wrap suitable for export pallets?
Yes. Clear film protects the load while keeping labels, barcodes, carton marks, and inspection areas visible during checks.
Can this film reduce rewrapping work?
Yes. Better puncture resistance, tear resistance, and holding force can reduce film breaks and loose pallets after transport.
