The netting allows airflow between the bales to keep them dry and fresh. 20" X 10000' MACHINE GRADE SOFT KNITTED PALLET WRAP WrapNet strong knitted netting is ideal for food industry products and other applications that require air flow. Pallet netting provides excellent load stability and allows for even ventilation so temperatures are similar in the middle and outside of the load. If your products require a cooling down period before getting wrapped on a pallet, netting can eliminate that waiting time and prevent condensation from forming on the inside of the load.

Why Change to Pre-Stretch Pallet Wrap Stretch Film? This sector has seen phenomenal growth over the last 10 years and occupies an ever increasing share of the growing stretch film / pallet wrap market. The larger users, such as supermarkets, have seen the light fairly early on and have swapped conventional hand film for the factory pre-stretched variant, in order to reap the yield savings and ultimately drive down their costs to wrap a pallet. With conventional hand wrap film, we are relying solely on the human element to maximize the yield values. With the pre-stretch film, this is factory stretched to close to its optimal film “sweet” spot and maximizes all the film properties and ensures that the film is optimized correctly for improved load stability and containment. The film in use shows a consistent wrapping performance and benefits from minimal film necking. The health and safety aspects of the pre-stretch film should also not be ignored. The light we...

Polyethylene Spot Polyethylene trading was a bit better than average; sellers were more notable participants and prices eased a half-cent. Processors were relatively aggressive buyers in mid-Nov and now seem to be fairly well stocked; they also have little fear that the twice-tried $.05/lb price increase will finally take hold in December. A couple producers have already offered to delay implementation until January, but the rest have yet to follow.

The two main areas that companies use black opaque pallet stretch film are: Most black stretch film has the additive UVI which prolongs the life of stretch film when pallets are stored outside in the sun and weather.  The fact that it is opaque black help stop the sun from fading the products that are wrapped inside the pallet.  The other area is pilferage.  Companies wrap there pallets in black stretch film so the pallet handlers at the freight companies do not know what the product is.  The old story “out of site out of mind” If the pallet arrives at the destination and something is missing; it is easy to see where the pallet was opened. Quick Pak Inc has the largest selection of Opaque Security Films in stock.  We stock both black and white opaque in both machine film lengths and hand film lengths.  20” wide black and white opaque machine films (64 and 80ga). 15” and 18” width Hand films (64, 80 and 115ga).

The Benefits of HYBRiD Plus Converted Stretch Film  HYBRiD Plus Converted film is stretched close to its ultimate break point prior to being wound onto rolls for final use.  This means the film doesn't require as much stretching energy as a standard stretch film to achieve the same wrapping force. This is a key reason why pre-stretched films are popular for hand wrap. In fact, with pre-stretched wrap, hand applications can create the same load stability as machine applications. The benefits of this are obvious. We make HYBRiD Plus converted film by stretching it at high speed  between pre-stretching rollers.  Since the surface of the roller rotates faster than the primary roller, the film gets pulled between them and stretches. The resulting rolls are generally light and easy to handle, reducing operator fatigue.  Since there’s very little torque involved, users also benefit by being able to use a walk-forward wrapping technique, which can help p...

After a very active month of trading, the November Polyethylene market ended quietly. Sellers were more prevalent early in the week as there were railcars that needed to find homes before month-end. Purchasing activity slowed this past week, buyers seemed to sense that come December, producers will find little success at their third attempt to implement the $.05/lb price increase. CDI (Chem Data) showing flat for November.   More pricing information here: www.quickpakinc.com
