Why Wrap Pallets in Colored Stretch Wrap

Colored stretch film is a practical, high-performance wrapping solution used to secure and protect palletized loads. Colored stretch wrap maintains the strength and stretch needed to stabilize products during storage or shipment. Unlike clear options, colored pallet wrap and other types of colored stretch film can improve security, simplify inventory management or add a pop of branding. Quick Pak Inc stocks a full range of colored stretch films.

Benefits of Colored Stretch Film:

Security and Loss Prevention - Opaque and black stretch film both hide the contents of your packages and pallets, providing a simple and effective deterrent against theft. By concealing what’s inside the load, especially during transit or while stored in high-traffic areas, you eliminate visual temptation.

Branding and Identification - Your packaging can work as hard as your team. Using colored stretch film allows you to incorporate color-coded systems that indicate product categories, destinations or shipments, helping your shipping team move faster and with fewer errors.

Inventory Management and Organization - When warehouse efficiency matters, color-coded stretch film simplifies sorting, storing and shipping by allowing workers to quickly identify pallet types by color, date, product line or delivery route. This ability can make your loading and picking times more efficient.

Product Protection - Like all stretch film, colored versions act as a barrier against dust, dirt, moisture and UV exposure. Opaque colors even offer an added layer of UV resistance, helping ensure your products arrive in top condition.

Choosing the Right Colored Stretch Film:

Application type: Use hand stretch film for low-volume and mobile use, or machine stretch film for automated, high-throughput operations.

Color: Choose a color based on your operational goals. Use black for security, white for heat deflection or custom colors for brand recognition and workflow systems.

Gauge: For most applications, 80-gauge colored stretch film offers a balance of performance and cost-efficiency. Heavy and unstable loads may require higher gauges.
