Pallet Stretch Wrap - Hand Roll
400 x 250 – 17 micron Red Tint Hand Pallet Wrap
A reliable hand-applied stretch film designed to help stabilise palletised loads during storage and transit. This red-tinted pallet wrap provides the familiar performance of standard hand stretch film while adding quick visual identification for colour-coding, stock segregation, or tamper-evident presentation. Suitable for everyday wrapping tasks where consistent cling and load containment are required.
Key Features
Red tint for fast identification
The tinted film helps you quickly distinguish wrapped pallets at a glance—useful for separating orders, routes, departments, or priority shipments without needing extra labels.
Hand roll format
Designed for manual application, making it a practical choice for low-to-medium throughput packing areas, despatch benches, and warehouse aisles where a machine wrap solution isn’t required.
17 micron film thickness
A popular general-purpose gauge that balances stretch, strength, and economy for typical pallet wrapping and bundling tasks.
Stretch film load containment
When applied with correct overlap and tension, the film helps hold cartons, trays, and mixed items together to reduce shifting and scuffing during handling.
Cling and wrap integrity
Stretch film is designed to cling to itself, helping layers bond together so the wrap stays tight around the load.
Versatile for pallets and bundling
Use it for full pallet wrapping, partial wrapping, or bundling long or awkward items where a secure, conforming wrap is needed.

400 x 250 – 17 micron Red Tint Pallet Wrap — Full Product Guide
This hand pallet wrap is a practical stretch film option for day-to-day warehouse and despatch operations. The red tint supports quick identification while the film’s stretch and cling help create a stable, unified load. Use the guidance below to get the best performance and consistency from your wrapping process.
How It Works
Stretch film is applied under tension so it elongates as you wrap. As it tries to recover, it creates a holding force around the load. Overlapping layers bond together through self-cling, helping the wrap remain tight and reducing the chance of the film loosening during handling.
Best practice:
Start with a secure anchor at the pallet base, wrap the bottom section with multiple passes, then work upward with consistent overlap. Finish with a few top wraps to lock the load and press the tail firmly onto the film to help it cling.
Materials and Construction
This product is a tinted stretch film supplied as a hand roll. Stretch films are designed to be flexible and conforming, allowing them to wrap around corners and irregular shapes while maintaining a tight hold. The red tint provides visibility and differentiation compared with clear film.
Floor Type Compatibility
Because this is a hand-applied wrap, it can be used across a wide range of working environments—warehouse floors, loading bays, and packing areas. For best results, ensure the pallet is stable and the working area is clear so the operator can walk the pallet safely while wrapping.
Health and Safety
- Manual handling: Use a hand dispenser where possible to improve control and reduce strain.
- Trip hazards: Keep film tails and offcuts tidy; dispose of used cores and film responsibly.
- Safe wrapping technique: Avoid twisting the back—walk around the pallet and keep a stable stance.
- Cutting: Use a suitable safety cutter when trimming film; avoid open blades where possible.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Warehouse despatch and distribution
Ideal for stabilising outbound pallets and helping teams quickly identify shipments by colour.
Manufacturing and production areas
Useful for work-in-progress pallets, batch separation, and internal transfers where quick visual cues reduce errors.
Retail and wholesale logistics
Supports organised staging and route planning by making wrapped pallets easier to distinguish.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
- Storage: Keep rolls in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
- Handling: Avoid crushing the roll edges; damaged edges can affect unwind and wrap quality.
- Dispensers: If using a hand dispenser, check that the roll rotates freely and that any braking/tension settings are consistent.
Case Study (Example Workflow)
Scenario: A busy despatch area needs a simple way to separate urgent orders from standard shipments without adding extra paperwork.
Approach: Standard pallets are wrapped in clear film, while urgent pallets are wrapped using red-tinted hand stretch film. The team applies the same wrapping pattern (base wraps, consistent overlap, top lock wraps).
Result: Pallets are easier to identify at a glance during staging and loading, reducing picking and loading mistakes while maintaining stable load containment.

- Warehouses and despatch teams needing dependable hand pallet wrapping
- Operations that benefit from colour-coding for stock control or route separation

Need help choosing the right pallet wrap?
If you’re wrapping heavier loads, sharp-edged cartons, or pallets that travel long distances, you may benefit from a different film thickness or wrapping method. For lighter loads or short internal moves, a general-purpose hand film is often sufficient. Contact the team for guidance on selecting the most suitable stretch film for your operation.
