In the world of logistics, manufacturing, and warehousing, wrapping film is the unsung hero. Whether you’re shipping across the country or storing goods in a distribution center, the choice of pallet wrapping film can make or break your efficiency, product safety, and sustainability efforts.
At Taigan, we understand the vital role this material plays—not just in protecting goods, but also in improving operational costs, reducing plastic waste, and meeting the demands of modern supply chains.
What Is Pallet Wrapping Film?
Pallet wrapping film, also known as stretch film or stretch wrap, is a highly stretchable plastic film used to secure products on a pallet. It keeps the load tightly bound during transit, handling, and storage. This film is applied using a wrapping machine or manually.
But not all pallet wrapping films are created equal.
At Taigan, our multi-layer cast stretch films—including our revolutionary T.Nano™ film—deliver unmatched strength, elasticity, and consistency, providing our customers with optimal load containment and eco-conscious usage.
Why the Right Pallet Wrapping Film Matters
Let’s explore why choosing the right wrapping film is critical for your business:
1. Load Stability & Safety
Poorly wrapped pallets can collapse during transit, causing product damage, injury, and financial loss. Taigan’s multi-layer pallet wrapping film technology ensures:
- Superior puncture resistance
- Tight holding force
- No film breakage in sharp-cornered goods
Our films are engineered to maintain load integrity, reducing shipping damage and associated costs.
2. Cost Savings Through Efficiency
Many businesses underestimate how much film they use—and waste. By switching to high-performance pallet wrapping film, like our 67-layer films, you can:
- Reduce film usage by up to 40%
- Decrease packaging time
- Minimize labor costs with automated wrapping machines
With Taigan, you wrap smarter, not more.
3. Environmental Responsibility
Sustainability is at the core of Taigan’s mission. Our pallet wrapping films:
- Contain up to 30% post industry recycled content (PIR)
- Are 100% recyclable
- Support core-swop programs to reduce core waste
Choosing sustainable pallet wrapping film helps companies meet environmental goals without compromising performance.
4. Enhanced Machine Compatibility
Our pallet wrapping film is designed for seamless integration with automatic and semi-automatic pallet wrapping machines, improving:
- Tension control
- Wrapping consistency
- Machine longevity
Taigan’s films are used across South Africa in fast-paced warehouses and logistic hubs where downtime is not an option.
5. Custom Solutions for Industry Needs
Every supply chain is different. Whether you ship bricks, electronics, or fresh produce, our team at Taigan assesses:
- Load weight and shape
- Film gauge and stretch levels
- Wrapping speed and throughput
We then recommend the best pallet wrapping film for your specific requirements.
