Hand-wrapping brief
500 mm × 20 µmAdd usable length, net film weight, core weight and rolls per carton.
Discuss this format ↗Hand and machine stretch films with flexible width, thickness, length and roll-weight configurations.

Hand and machine formats for pallet wrapping, with roll dimensions, film-only weight and pack-out defined in the quotation. Tell us about your load and wrapper so the film can be matched to the job.
| Wrapping method | Hand or machine; give wrapper model, film carriage type and pre-stretch setting where applicable. |
|---|---|
| Width / thickness | Width in mm, thickness in µm; ask for nominal basis, measurement method and agreed tolerance. |
| Usable length / film mass | Length in m and net film weight in kg. Identify core and other non-film weights separately. |
| Equipment fit | Core inside diameter, core length and roll outside diameter in mm; maximum allowed roll weight in kg. |
| Load / trial | Pallet dimensions in mm, gross load in kg, corners and load photos; compare film used per pallet and trial results. |
| Order / pack-out | Rolls per carton, carton / pallet configuration, quantity, named destination and requested timing. |
These examples show how to write a clear specification. They are enquiry templates, not listed stock items or approved load ratings.
Add usable length, net film weight, core weight and rolls per carton.
Discuss this format ↗Add wrapper model, pre-stretch setting, core size and roll outside diameter.
Discuss this format ↗Add thickness, length, dispenser requirements and intended bundling application.
Discuss this format ↗Application, storage and transport conditions help narrow down the right sample to evaluate.
Pallet dimensions, weight, product shape and sharp corners affect film choice.
Hand, turntable, rotary arm and other machines require compatible roll and stretch characteristics.
Transport vibration, stacking and route conditions affect the required holding performance.
Thickness, roll length, net film weight and pre-stretch should be compared together.
A lower roll price is not necessarily a lower wrapping cost. Confirm what is inside the roll and test it on your load.
| Application | Hand or machine; wrapper model and pre-stretch setting for machine use. |
|---|---|
| Dimensions | Width in mm, thickness in µm and usable length in m. Specify tolerances in the agreed specification. |
| Weight basis | Net film weight excludes the core and packaging. Ask for core weight and gross roll weight separately. |
| Equipment fit | Core inside diameter, roll outside diameter and maximum roll weight accepted by your dispenser. |
| Trial record | Film used per pallet, film breaks, corner damage and load movement using the same wrapping pattern. |
| Commercial basis | Rolls per carton, cartons per pallet, order quantity, named delivery place and required arrival date. |
A fillable buyer specification and approval record. The written quotation defines the product and commercial terms.
Include any label, barcode or carton artwork with your brief so product and packaging can be quoted together.
Inspection scope depends on the product and order. Samples or application trials should be used where performance or equipment compatibility is critical.
See Quality Coordination ↗Yes. Width and roll configuration can be reviewed around your application and equipment.
Both formats are available; tell us the wrapping method, load profile and machine information.
Net and gross weight configurations can be discussed with the target pack-out.
Share the wrapper type, pre-stretch setting, pallet dimensions, load weight and current film reference.
MOQ depends on film construction, roll format, color and packaging requirements.
Use these guides to compare specifications and prepare your buying requirements.
Compare film-only weight, core weight and cost per wrapped pallet using a worked purchasing example.
Compare roll formats, application methods and the information needed for a useful quote.
Combine roll measurements, load observations, wrapper settings and a repeatable trial before changing film.
Send your dimensions, quantity, destination and packaging requirements. If your brief is incomplete, a current label or product photo is enough to start.
