How it works
Walk the roll around the pallet with about half of each turn covering the one below, and add 3 extra turns at the bottom to lock the load to the pallet and 3 at the top.
Hand wrap is not pre-stretched by a machine, so the length on the load is about the length taken from the roll.
Frequently asked questions
How many times should I wrap a pallet?
Enough to cover the load with 50% overlap, plus 3 to 5 turns at the base and top. For a 150 cm load with 50 cm film that is about 12 turns.
How long is a roll of hand pallet wrap?
Hand rolls are usually 200 to 300 m long and 50 cm wide.
