Industrial Stretch Wrap for North East Logistics Hubs That Can’t Afford Downtime
If you’re managing shipping, storage, or distribution in Teesside, you already know this truth:
“When the wrap fails, everything stops.”
Damaged goods. Delayed trucks. Pallets falling apart in the warehouse.
It’s not just an inconvenience — it’s a cost.
That’s why more Middlesbrough-based warehouses, Teesport freight handlers, and Billingham logistics firms are turning to Magnum Packaging for stretch wrap that performs under pressure.
Let’s break down what makes industrial pallet wrap effective — and how to choose the right roll for your operation.
What Is Industrial Stretch Wrap?
In simple terms, stretch wrap is the clear (or coloured) plastic film used to secure pallets during storage or transport.
At Magnum Packaging, we supply a range of options including:
- Cast Stretch Film – smooth, quiet, and highly transparent
- Blown Stretch Film – tougher and more puncture resistant
- Hand Wrap Rolls – ideal for manual pallet wrapping
- Machine Wrap Rolls – designed for automated packing lines
We also stock:
- Mini rolls for bundling smaller products
- Coloured or opaque film for load security
- Coreless wrap options to reduce packaging waste
Not All Stretch Wrap Is Equal: Understanding Micron Thickness
Stretch wrap is typically measured by micron thickness, which indicates its strength and durability.
Here’s a quick guide:
| Thickness | Typical Use | Example Loads |
|---|---|---|
| 12–15 micron | Light duty | Paper goods, small cartons |
| 17–20 micron | Medium duty | Mixed pallets, bagged items |
| 23+ micron | Heavy duty | Bricks, drums, machinery parts |
Another option to consider is pre-stretch film, which is already tensioned during production. This can reduce plastic use while making wrapping easier for staff.
“We switched to Magnum’s 17 micron pre-stretch and saw less snapping and better pallet hold. Fewer injuries too.”
– Teesport Dispatch Manager
Common Packaging Problems We See in the North East
Wrap splitting in cold storage
We supply low-temperature resistant stretch films designed for freezer and chiller environments, ideal for cold-chain facilities.
Pallets shifting during transport
High-tension blown film provides stronger hold, especially for loads transported along routes like the A19.
Staff fatigue from manual wrapping
Pre-stretch films or machine wrap systems can reduce effort and improve consistency across shifts.
