Specialty stretch film

Clear film does most of the work on most docks. The rest of the time a load needs something the clear roll can't give: air, privacy, a colour, protection from static, rust or sun. Each specialty film here does one of those jobs, and each page says when it is worth the change and when clear film is still the answer. Try a specialty roll on a few loads before switching a whole shift over to it.

The specialty range

One job each.

  • Vented stretch film

    Produce · flowers · frozen · damp

    Holes through the film let cold loads breathe and shed condensation.

  • A pallet wrapped in black opaque stretch film, a black hand roll standing beside it

    Black and opaque film

    Black · white · opaque

    Hides what is on the pallet.

  • Three rolls of tinted stretch film, blue, green and red, on a warehouse shelf

    Tinted film

    Blue · red · green and more

    Codes loads by shift, date, customer or destination.

  • Anti-static and VCI film

    Electronics · metal parts

    Keeps static off electronics and corrosion off metal.

  • UV-inhibited film

    Pallets stored outside

    Lasts longer in sunlight than standard film.

  • A pallet of produce cartons held under white stretch netting on a loading floor

    Stretch netting

    Knitted, open mesh

    For loads that need far more air than vented film gives.

Two rules that save trouble

From the trade's own guides.

Never wrap solid film over vented film; it closes the vents you paid for.1 And tint or opacity changes how a load looks, not how it holds: a buying guide lists tinted film for colour coding and opaque film for concealment,2 so pick the gauge from the load first and the colour second.

Specialty rolls come in the same widths, cores and gauges as clear film, by the case for hand wrapping and by the pallet for machines, so a dock can keep one dispenser or carriage and simply load a different roll for the loads that need it.
