Wholesale stretch wrap

For each film: the spec line (width x length x gauge, core, pack), cast or blown, and the monthly quantity in rolls, cases or pallets. Add each delivery ZIP. If you buy for several sites, say which film goes where. That list is what we quote against; there is nothing to add to a cart and nothing to check out.

Film behaves the same at every site only if every site runs the same film at the same settings. A standing order is a chance to settle that: one hand roll, one machine roll, a gauge matched to the loads, and a check of containment force at each site. We supply film across the US; the ship-to pages show the industries wrapping pallets in each state.

Packaging and janitorial distributors often carry stretch film for customers who buy a few cases at a time. If that is you, list the rolls your customers ask for most, with the monthly quantity you move of each, and say whether you need plain unbranded cases. We supply the film; how you price it and sell it on is yours. If a customer has a problem load, the guides here are free to point them at.

A wholesale order is the right moment to look again at gauge and type, because a small saving per pallet repeats every month. Ask for a sample quantity of the alternative alongside the regular order, run it on ordinary loads for a week, measure containment force and count breaks. If it holds, the next month's order changes; if not, nothing has been lost. Changes go through the same request, with the new spec line.

Use drifts as products, customers and wrappers change. A review compares what was ordered with pallets shipped and asks whether each film still suits its loads. It is also the time to test a lighter gauge or a recycled-content film.

Tell us how your accounts team wants to be billed: one invoice per site or one for the group, purchase order numbers on each, and who receives them. Agreeing it at the start avoids queries later.

The time to your dock depends on the film and where the dock is, so ask for the lead time with the quote. Order before the last pallet of rolls is opened, and keep a few days' use in hand so a late truck doesn't stop a wrapper. If use rises in a season, a peak in drinks in summer or retail in autumn, say so and the quantities can follow it.

Last month's use, by film, and the loads behind it. If you don't have the first, the film per pallet guide shows how to estimate it from pallets a day. If you don't have the second, tell us what you ship and we will ask the rest. See also how buying works.

Is there a minimum for a standing order?

Tell us your monthly quantities and we will say what makes sense to quote; there is no form to fill beyond the request.

Can quantities change month to month?

Yes. Give a usual quantity and say when it rises or falls, such as a summer peak.

Do you supply unbranded cases?

Ask in the request. What is available depends on the film and the maker.

Can you help standardise film across our sites?

We can quote one spec for all sites and suggest where one film can replace several. The containment tests at each site are yours to run.

Who do we contact about a delivery problem?

Reply to the quote email or write to the address on every page; give the site, the order and what went wrong.

Can several companies in a group share one order?

Yes, if one of them places it; list each delivery site and who is billed. Subsidiaries, franchisees and affiliated warehouses often combine volumes this way.
