Pallet Netting / WRAP-NET Wrap-Net is a soft knitted pallet wrap, also known as pallet netting.   Wrap-Net is a great palletizing product that will stabilize and unitize pallets while addressing special pallet wrapping issues such as condensation or palletizing products that need to cure and cool down in a timely cost effective manner. Products that are boxed and palletized when still warm can cause condensation inside stretch film causing the boxes to deteriorate.  Products that have excessive moisture when produced have to cure. Wrap-Net takes care of both issues by allowing the products to breathe and cure. Our Knitted pallet wrap is available in the following: Wrap-Net I - Extended core handles for hand application. Wrap-Net II - On 3” ID core handles of hand application. Wrap-Net III – For stretch wrapping machine applications. All are in stock and available, see pricing here: https://quickpakinc.com/pallet-netting
