Pallet wrapping just got easier with the new Wrapplicator pallet wrap dispenser
Manual pallet wrapping can be a tough job, which is why we’ve introduced the Wrapplicator! It’s an innovative, hand-held pallet wrap dispenser that can make pallet wrapping easy.
The one-handed, ergonomic design means you can walk around a pallet, dispensing film without the need to bend or stretch.

We’ve extended our portfolio of machine applied stretch wrap
10 micron ultra-thin, high-performance machine stretch film
This new, advanced engineered film is just 10 micron, with a 75mm core, offering a 500mm x 3400m roll size. It contains 30% recycled content, offers 250% stretch, and comes in a pallet quantity of 46.
When paired with the right pallet wrapper, this film can help you use less material to wrap each pallet. This helps reduce costs without compromising product safety in storage and transit.
A new range of 300% super power stretch machine film
All films within this range contain 30% recycled content and are available in clear or black in a 75mm core. Films range from 12 to 20 microns and come in various roll sizes.
This cost-effective solution will help you maximise the number of pallets you can wrap with a single roll while offering premium load stability.
