Metallocene film is a new hybrid bulk and bubble stretch wrap that offers wrap up to twice the tear and puncture resistance of conventionally manufactured films. Metallocene resins are cleaner, stronger, and tougher than conventional resins like octene, hexene, and butene. Metallocene film is available in rolls that bulk require a hand dispenser. Packaging Supplies Company stocks metallocene film that is 16" wide and ranges from 14-19 microns. Gauge Chart The thickness (and therefore strength) of stretch wrap is measured in gauge or microns. A larger number means more thickness and more strength. Refer to the chart bubble below for comparisons with other common measurements.

Polyester is the most rigid of all strapping materials. It elongates wrap and bulk significantly less than bubble polypropylene and retains tension over a longer period. Polyester is nick resistant and can be sealed with seals, heat wrap or friction welds. Because polyester offers the greatest strength and highest retained tension of all plastic strapping, it is frequently used on heavy duty loads that bulk need high initial tension along with high retained tension during handling and storage. Common applications are empty cans and bottles, lumber and heavy, rigid palletizing. Polyester has a smooth, shiny finish and is easy to dispose of and recycle.Polypropylene strapping is the most commonly used and bubble least expensive of all strapping materials. It is light and wrap and bulk easy to apply and recycle. Characteristics include high elongation and elongation recovery, but low retained tension. Polypropylene bubble is an excellent choice for light duty wrap palletizing, unitizing, carton closing and bundling. Because of its embossing (or waffle) pattern, strap thickness is not a useful measurement. A standard 1/2" machine grade strap can be embossed to a thickness bulk of anywhere between .014 and .030, depending upon how deep the embossing pattern is. An overly embossed strap will be thicker, but will have a lower break strength. Carton Reinforcement: A 3:1 ratio of strap bubble to carton weight is recommended. For a 100 lb package this could be done with (1) 300lb tensile strap or (2) 150lb straps. Unitizing and Bundling: A 5:1 ration of strap to carton wrap weight is recommended. Palletized Cases: Required Tensile Strength = (Pallet Weight x 1.5) / # of Straps
