Handle-It SWMF-20-140-30 Machine Grade Stretch Wrap Film, 20" W x 3000' L, 140 gauge

140 gauge high performance strength of a 150 gauge film has a thickness equal to a ziploc bag. Use on heavy loads or where you need high tear resistance. It is important to use the correct type of stretch film in stretch wrap machines. There are many different manufactures and types of stretch film in the market. You must use machine grade film in Handle-It machines or you will most likely see poor performance and film tearing. Hand grade films are not made to withstand the tension and stretch that a machine can put on the film. Handle-It machines require 20” wide machine grade film to feed through the carriage rollers properly, you can use narrower film but 20″ is the most common. Film is classified by the gauge or thickness of the material. For Handle-it power pre-stretch models 850PS, 1100AC, 1200UL, and 1100AA-C we suggest an 90 gauge or higher equivalent film grade. This will help reduce the chance of tearing as the film is extruded through the powered rollers. The type of pallets and product you’re wrapping along with the speed and tension of the film all play a role in the quality of the wrap and the risk of film tearing.
