Stretch Film
Strong stretch film built for New Zealand’s warehouses, exporters and manufacturers. Wrap tighter, ship safer, every load.
What Is Stretch Film
Stretch film is a stretchable plastic wrap used to bundle, secure and stabilise palletised goods for storage and transport. Businesses also call it pallet wrap or stretch wrap, and the terms describe the same product. It clings to itself layer over layer, locking a load together without tape, straps or shrink tunnels.
CUSTOMPACK supplies stretch film in hand grade and machine grade formats, with clear and black options and a range of gauges to suit different loads. Whether you’re wrapping single pallets by hand or running a high-speed automatic wrapping line, there’s a stretch film roll built for the job.
PP strapping suits industries across New Zealand, including:

Hand Grade or Machine Grade: Which Wrap Fits Your Line?
Hand grade stretch film suits businesses wrapping pallets manually, low to medium volume runs, and warehouses without wrapping equipment. It’s the practical starting point for most small and mid-sized operations.
Machine grade stretch film suits high-volume lines running an automatic or semi-automatic wrapping machine. It holds consistent tension pallet after pallet, cutting labour time and reducing film waste on high-throughput sites.
Why Choose Stretch Film
Load containment
Wraps tight around irregular or mixed pallets, holding cartons, drums and bagged product in place.
Dust protection
Seals goods against dust, dirt and grit during storage and freight transit.
Tear resistance
Holds its structure under handling stress instead of splitting on sharp edges or corners.
Moisture barrier
Keeps rain, condensation and damp warehouse air off exposed product.
Fast application
Hand rolls wrap a pallet in minutes. Machine rolls wrap dozens per hour on an automatic line.
Recyclable material
Stretch film is made from LLDPE, which can be recycled through appropriate collection channels.
Clear visibility
See-through film lets staff check pallet contents and barcodes without unwrapping.
Cost control per load
Lighter gauge film uses less material per wrap while still holding tension, cutting per-pallet packaging spend.
