Machine Stretch Film 500 mm x 17 Mic x 1500 m, 150% Prestretch

Machine Stretch Film 500 mm × 17 µm × 1500 m, 150% is a professional packaging film designed for pallet wrapping and load stabilisation using automatic and semi-automatic pallet wrapping machines.

Made from LLDPE polyethylene, the film offers elasticity, tensile resistance and the ability to conform to the shape of wrapped loads. With the correct wrapping tension and number of layers, it helps secure loads and reduce package movement during transportation and storage.

Its 150% pre-stretch capability enables more efficient film utilisation and can help optimise material consumption. The 1500-metre roll length reduces the frequency of roll changes and supports smoother packaging operations in busy warehouses, logistics centres and manufacturing facilities.

Advantages & Additional Information

• 150% pre-stretch – enables more efficient film utilisation in compatible pallet wrapping machines.

• 17 µm thickness – a practical choice for standard and medium-weight loads.

• 1500 m roll length – fewer roll changes during intensive packaging operations.

• 500 mm width – a standard format for many pallet wrapping systems.

• 76 mm core inner diameter – designed for compatible machine wrappers.

• Elastic LLDPE material – conforms to load contours and helps stabilise packages.

• Tear and puncture resistance – suitable for regular machine wrapping operations.

• Transparent film – allows packaged products and identification labels to remain visible.

• Load protection – helps protect against dust, dirt and surface moisture.

• Industrial applications – suitable for logistics, warehousing, manufacturing and distribution.

150% Pre-stretch – Reduced Film Consumption

One of the key specifications of this machine stretch film is its 150% pre-stretch capability.

In a compatible pre-stretch mechanism, the film can be elongated by 150% of its original length. Theoretically, 1 metre of unstretched film becomes 2.5 metres of stretched film.

The calculation is 1500 m × 2.5 = 3750 m. This is a theoretical value, not a guaranteed usable wrapping length.

Actual film consumption depends on pallet wrapper settings, load shape, wrapping tension and other packaging conditions.

17 µm Thickness and 500 mm Width

The 17-micron film thickness is designed for standard packaging applications where load stability and material efficiency are important.

The 500 mm width is suitable for many standard pallet wrapping operations. The elastic LLDPE structure helps the film conform to the load and maintain wrapping tension.

Loads with sharp corners, unstable configurations or particularly heavy products may require additional edge protectors, more wrapping layers or other packaging materials.

1500 m Roll – Fewer Interruptions

The 1500-metre roll length is particularly useful in intensive packaging operations.

A longer roll reduces the need to stop the wrapping machine for film replacement, potentially improving packaging throughput and reducing manual intervention.

Compatibility with Pallet Wrapping Machines

The film is designed for automatic and semi-automatic pallet wrappers that support 500 mm film width, 76 mm core inner diameter, 17 µm film thickness and the required pre-stretch settings.

It is important to verify that the machine can achieve the specified film elongation. Matching roll dimensions alone does not guarantee that a particular pallet wrapper can reach 150% pre-stretch.

Applications & Usage

Machine stretch film is used for pallet wrapping, grouping boxes and goods, load stabilisation, and protection during storage and transport.

It is suitable for logistics and distribution centres, manufacturing companies, wholesale warehouses, e-commerce fulfilment and export shipment preparation.

Important Information

Load stabilisation performance depends on load weight, shape, wrapping pattern, tension and the number of film layers applied. Although stretch film helps protect loads from dust and surface moisture, it does not by itself provide hermetic or completely waterproof packaging.
