Extended Core Pallet Wrap 400mm x 300m

Our Extended Core Pallet Wrap provides a practical clear cast film for wrapping, grouping and stabilising suitable palletised goods.

Each roll measures 400mm x 300m, which equals approximately 15.75 inches x 984.25 feet. Therefore, the roll provides a useful length for warehouses, factories, distribution centres, retail stockrooms, removals and general packing applications.

The film has a thickness of 18 microns, which equals 0.018mm or approximately 0.00071 inches. Additionally, the extended core projects beyond the film at both ends, creating convenient areas for the user to hold while manually applying the wrap.

Because the film is clear, users can continue to view many products, labels and carton markings beneath the wrap. However, several overlapping layers, reflections or condensation may reduce visibility.

Extended Core Pallet Wrap Specifications

Dimensions and thickness are nominal, while imperial conversions are approximate. The exact extended-core measurements have not been specified.

Understanding the Extended Core

The core extends beyond the edges of the film, allowing users to hold the roll at both ends.

This design supports manual application because the extended sections act as simple hand grips. Consequently, users do not need to place the roll into a separate standard pallet-wrap dispenser before use.

To hold the roll:

1. Position one hand around each extended end.
2. Keep fingers away from the film edges.
3. Allow the roll to rotate as you walk around the pallet.
4. Adjust your grip to control the film tension.
5. Stop wrapping if the core becomes damaged or unstable.

Do not place fingers inside moving parts or hold the roll in a way that could trap the skin between the core and rotating film.

Understanding the 18-Micron Thickness

The Extended Core Pallet Wrap has a specified thickness of 18 microns.

A micron is one-thousandth of a millimetre. Therefore:

• 18 microns equals 0.018mm
• 18 microns equals approximately 0.00071 inches

Film thickness forms only one part of pallet-wrap performance. The finished stability also depends on the wrapping tension, number of layers, overlap, load shape, pallet condition and weight distribution.

Consequently, users should test the film with their complete pallet arrangement before introducing it into a regular packing process.

The 18-micron thickness does not provide a certified maximum pallet weight or guarantee suitability for every load.

Cast Extended Core Pallet Wrap

This product uses a cast-film construction. The cast manufacturing process produces the clear film before it is wound onto the extended core.

The resulting roll provides a practical option for everyday manual wrapping and bundling applications. Furthermore, the clear appearance allows users to inspect many products and labels without removing the film.

However, performance still depends on the complete packaging arrangement and application method. Therefore, users should test the roll with their own pallets, products and handling process.

Using Extended Core Pallet Wrap

Before wrapping a pallet, inspect the load and working area.

Check that:

• The pallet remains in suitable condition
• Products sit securely on the pallet
• Heavy items remain towards the bottom
• Boxes do not overhang unnecessarily
• Sharp corners have suitable protection
• Loose products have been grouped correctly
• The floor around the pallet remains clear
• The operator has enough space to move safely

Hold the extended core at both ends and start near the base of the load. Next, wrap around the pallet and lower products several times to create a stable starting point.

Continue upwards while overlapping each previous layer. Finally, add further coverage around areas that require more support and finish the film against an existing layer.

Do not tie the film around hands, wrists or the body while wrapping.

Wrapping a Pallet with Extended Core Pallet Wrap

A consistent wrapping technique can improve load stability.

A typical wrapping process may include:

1. Position the pallet on a level surface.
2. Check that the products remain stable.
3. Hold both extended ends of the core.
4. Begin near the base of the pallet.
5. Wrap the film around the pallet and lower cartons.
6. Apply several layers around the bottom section.
7. Move gradually upwards while overlapping each layer.
8. Maintain controlled and consistent tension.
9. Add further layers around unstable areas where necessary.
10. Cover the top section as required.
11. Return down the pallet if additional support is needed.
12. Cut the film with a suitable safety cutter.
13. Secure the loose end against the wrapped film.

The correct number of layers depends on the load. Therefore, users should assess pallet weight, shape, movement and transport conditions before deciding how much film to apply.

Extended Core Pallet Wrap for Manual Application

The extended core makes this roll particularly convenient for manual wrapping.

Users can hold the projecting core sections while walking around the pallet. As a result, they can guide the roll and control the application without fitting it into a separate standard dispenser.

The extended ends may also help keep hands away from the film edges. Nevertheless, users should maintain a comfortable grip and avoid applying excessive tension.

If the operator experiences discomfort, hand strain or difficulty controlling the roll, stop and review the wrapping method. Workplace procedures may also require additional manual-handling controls for frequent or prolonged pallet wrapping.

Extended Core Pallet Wrap for Visible Loads

The clear film allows users to view many products, carton markings and labels beneath the wrap.

This can help with:

• Identifying products
• Checking pallet contents
• Reading external carton labels
• Monitoring mixed loads
• Inspecting packaging condition
• Locating handling instructions
• Distinguishing stock during storage
• Checking quantities visually

However, multiple layers, glare, dirt and condensation may affect visibility. Therefore, place important shipping or handling labels on the outside of the completed wrap where required.

Clear film does not provide privacy or concealment. Choose a coloured or opaque wrap when hiding the load remains important.

Extended Core Pallet Wrap for Warehouses

Warehouses can use Extended Core Pallet Wrap to group suitable cartons and help stabilise palletised goods before storage or dispatch.

The 400mm width, which equals approximately 15.75 inches, allows users to wrap many different loads manually. Meanwhile, the 300m or approximately 984.25-foot roll length provides material for multiple wrapping tasks, depending on pallet size and the number of layers applied.

Because the film is clear, warehouse staff can often identify products without removing the wrap. Additionally, visible carton labels can support stock checking and order preparation.

Nevertheless, users should clearly label the outside of each completed pallet according to normal warehouse procedures.

Extended Core Pallet Wrap for Moving and Storage

The film can also help group suitable products during removals, stock transfers and temporary storage.

Possible applications include:

• Holding protective coverings around furniture
• Grouping flat-packed items
• Bundling suitable boxes
• Keeping drawers or doors closed on protected furniture
• Covering packaged equipment
• Consolidating lightweight products
• Protecting surfaces from light dust

Do not apply the film directly to delicate, painted, polished or heat-sensitive surfaces without testing it first. Instead, place a suitable protective layer between the item and film where required.

Pallet wrap provides light surface coverage. However, it does not replace padded blankets, bubble wrap, foam or other impact-protection materials.

Stretching Extended Core Pallet Wrap

Pallet wrap generally performs best when users apply controlled tension. However, the stretch percentage, recommended tension and maximum elongation have not been specified for this product.

Therefore, avoid overstretching the film. Excessive force may cause it to narrow, tear or place unnecessary pressure on cartons and products.

Conversely, insufficient tension may create a loose wrap that does not stabilise the load effectively.

Hold the extended core securely and increase the tension gradually. Furthermore, keep the force consistent as you move around the pallet.

Overlapping Extended Core Pallet Wrap

Overlapping each layer helps create continuous coverage around the load.

Move gradually around the pallet and maintain a consistent overlap. Irregular gaps may leave areas with less support or protection.

Sections that may require additional attention include:

• The pallet base
• Lower corners
• Changes in load width
• The top layer
• Irregular projections
• Areas containing smaller cartons
• Points where products could move independently

Do not rely on pallet wrap alone to correct a poorly stacked or unstable load. Instead, restack unsuitable pallets before wrapping them.

Protecting Edges Before Wrapping

Sharp corners and rough edges may puncture the film. Therefore, inspect the complete pallet before applying the wrap.

Use suitable edge protectors, corner boards or cushioning where necessary. Additionally, remove or cover exposed staples, splinters and other sharp points.

Boxes should remain within the pallet footprint where practical. Overhanging cartons can receive greater pressure and may become damaged during handling.

Pallet wrap can help retain a correctly arranged load. However, it cannot restore the strength of crushed, wet or damaged cartons.

Extended Core Pallet Wrap and Load Stability

The film can support load stability by holding suitable packaged products together. Nevertheless, it forms only one part of a complete palletising system.

Load stability also depends on:

• Pallet condition
• Product weight
• Carton strength
• Stacking pattern
• Weight distribution
• Film tension
• Number of layers
• Layer overlap
• Edge protection
• Handling conditions
• Transport method

Users should complete an appropriate load-stability assessment before transport. Additionally, use strapping, top sheets, anti-slip materials or other packaging products where the load requires them.

Dust and Moisture Protection

The overlapping film can help protect suitable products from light dust, dirt and minor surface contamination during indoor storage and handling.

However, the wrap is not confirmed as waterproof. Water may enter through open ends, punctures, damaged areas or gaps between layers.

Therefore, do not rely on the film as the sole protection against:

• Rain
• Standing water
• Flooding
• Outdoor weather
• Condensation
• Prolonged damp conditions
• High-pressure cleaning
• Complete moisture exclusion

Where moisture protection matters, use suitable outer protection and store the pallet in an appropriate covered location.

Cutting Extended Core Pallet Wrap

After wrapping the load, cut the film using a suitable safety cutter.

Keep the cutting edge away from products, hands and other people. In addition, avoid using an exposed blade where it could damage cartons or cause injury.

Once cut, secure the loose film end against the wrapped load using a suitable method.

Do not tear the film using excessive force because a sudden release may affect balance or damage the wrapped products.

Handling Extended Core Pallet Wrap

The extended core supports manual application. However, the complete roll may still become tiring to handle during prolonged wrapping.

Keep the back in a comfortable position and avoid repeatedly twisting while carrying or applying the roll. Instead, move around the pallet using safe and steady steps.

Maintain a secure grip on both extended ends. Additionally, take suitable breaks during repetitive wrapping tasks.

Follow workplace manual-handling procedures, particularly when wrapping large or low pallets.

Storing Extended Core Pallet Wrap

Store the Extended Core Pallet Wrap in a clean, dry indoor area away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture and sharp objects.

Keep the roll in its protective packaging until required. Consequently, the packaging helps protect the film edges and projecting core sections from accidental damage.

Store the roll in a stable position so that it cannot fall or roll away. Furthermore, avoid placing heavy products on top of the roll or exposed extended core.

Extreme temperatures may affect film handling. Therefore, allow the roll to reach a suitable working temperature before use if it has been stored in unusually cold or hot conditions.

Disposing of Used Pallet Wrap

Remove used film carefully and keep it separate from strapping, labels, cardboard and general waste where practical.

Recycling availability depends on the film material, contamination level and local collection facilities. Therefore, check the requirements of your waste contractor before placing used pallet wrap into a recycling stream.

Clean commercial film may require a specialist collection route. However, heavily contaminated film may not be accepted.

Never allow loose pallet wrap to collect on warehouse floors because it may create a trip or entanglement hazard.

Important Limitations

This product supports general pallet wrapping, bundling and load stabilisation. However, it does not guarantee that a pallet will remain secure in every handling or transport situation.

Do not use the wrap as:

• A lifting sling
• A load-bearing strap
• Fall-protection equipment
• A substitute for a sound pallet
• A repair for damaged cartons
• A certified waterproof cover
• A fire-resistant barrier
• Electrical insulation
• A heat-resistant covering
• A security seal
• Restraint for people or animals
• The only restraint for an unstable load

The 18-micron thickness does not provide a certified maximum pallet weight. Therefore, test the complete packaging arrangement and use additional load-restraint products where necessary.
