Machine Grade Stretch Film
Run a wrapping machine long enough and the film becomes the weak link fast. A roll that breaks mid-cycle stops the whole line. Inconsistent pre-stretch means some pallets come out tight and others come out loose, and loose pallets shift in transit. That’s the cost operators actually feel: downtime, rework, and stock that arrives damaged.
CustomPack’s machine grade stretch film roll is manufactured for automatic and semi-automatic wrapping machines, not adapted from a hand roll. It’s built to hold consistent tension through a full cycle, run after run, on high-throughput palletising lines. As a stretch film supplier NZ warehouses and manufacturers rely on for both hand and machine grade stock, CustomPack stocks the machine stretch wrap film that keeps output steady when volume ramps up.
Product Details
Features
- Format: 500mm width across the range, with roll lengths from 1100m to 3200m and gauges from 12mu to 30mu, so the roll matches the machine's load profile and cycle count.
- Finish: Clear as standard, with a black option available for stock that needs to stay concealed during transit or storage.
- Pre-stretch performance: Built for machine-applied pre-stretch, so the film extends and tightens under the wrapper's own tension settings rather than relying on manual pull.
- Application: Designed specifically for automatic and semi-automatic wrapping equipment, not general-purpose stretch wrap pressed into service on a line.
- Cling and load-holding: Strong film-to-film cling keeps multi-pallet runs stable through repeated handling, racking, and freight.
Benefits
- Fewer breaks, less downtime: A snapped film mid-wrap stops the whole line and means a pallet has to be rewrapped by hand. This machine stretch film is built to run full cycles without failing partway through.
- Consistent tension across every pallet: When the film performs the same way roll after roll, load stability doesn't depend on which operator loaded the machine or how the settings were nudged that day.
- Dust and moisture protection: Wrapped stock stays sealed against dust, dirt, and moisture through storage and transit, whether that's an open-sided warehouse bay or a container on the water. This plastic stretch wrap forms a reliable barrier either way.
- Tear resistance where it counts: Corners and edges matter more at machine speed, where a weak point gets stretched and exposed the moment the wrapper applies tension.
- Higher yield per roll: Longer roll lengths, up to 3200m in the thinner gauges, mean fewer roll changes across a shift. Less handling, more time on the line for this stretch film roll to actually do its job.
- Reliable pallet wrap film for high-volume runs: Built specifically as machine stretch film, not adapted hand grade stock, so tension holds consistently across long production runs.
Applications and Industries
- Warehousing and distribution centres: High-volume outbound palletising where consistent wrap quality across hundreds of pallets a day is the baseline, not the goal.
- Manufacturing: Wrapping finished goods straight off the production line before they move to storage or freight, where a stopped wrapper means a stopped line.
- Construction materials: Palletised building product such as frame and truss components, aluminium products, or steel roofing material, where load stability during freight transport matters as much as the wrap itself.
- Export and freight operations: Securing palletised loads for container transport, where a failed wrap discovered at the port is a far more expensive problem than one caught on the floor.
- Food and beverage manufacturing: Beverage and cold drink production lines running high-volume palletising, where machine grade film keeps pace with output.
- Concrete block and masonry manufacturing: Palletised block and brick loads that need secure, consistent wrapping across high-volume production runs.

Frequently Asked Question
What is machine grade stretch film used for?
Machine grade stretch film is pallet wrap designed for automatic and semi-automatic wrapping machines, used to secure and stabilise high-volume palletised loads during storage and transport.
What's the difference between machine grade and hand grade stretch film?
Machine grade stretch film is built for wrapping equipment and high-throughput lines. Hand grade stretch film is sized and tensioned for manual application on lower-volume runs.
What sizes does CustomPack's machine grade stretch film come in?
Rolls are 500mm wide, with lengths from 1100m to 3200m and gauges from 12mu to 30mu, available in clear and black.
Does machine grade stretch film protect against moisture?
Yes. The wrapped film forms a barrier against dust, dirt, and moisture during storage and transit.
Where can I buy machine grade stretch film in New Zealand?
CustomPack is a stretch film NZ supplier delivering machine grade stretch film across Auckland and nationwide.
