Nano stretch film, sometimes called nano pallet wrap, has become one of the most effective ways to cut the plastic and the cost on every machine-wrapped pallet. Here’s how it differs from standard machine film, and when it makes sense to switch.
What is nano stretch film?
Nano stretch film is machine stretch film made from many ultra-thin layers co-extruded together. Layering gives a thin film more strength and stretch than a conventional film.
Our Nanofilm range is built from 67 nano-layers, from 10 microns thin.
How standard machine film compares
Traditional 250% power pre-stretch films in 17, 20 and 23 micron are the backbone of UK pallet wrapping: reliable, widely available and simple to quote. But they rely on thickness for their strength, so every pallet carries more film.
The differences that matter
| Nanofilm | Standard 250% machine film |
|---|
| Thickness | From 10 microns | 17, 20 or 23 microns |
| Stretch | Up to 380% | 250% power pre-stretch |
| Where strength comes from | 67 nano-layers | The thickness of the film |
| Performance | High holding force, consistent at speed | Depends on the gauge and machine settings |
Is nano film right for your operation?
Nanofilm is built for demanding, high-volume machine wrapping. For heavy, tall or awkward loads, fibre-reinforced FiberFilm can be the better choice. The only reliable way to know is to test both on your own pallets.
Our guarantee
If you buy 17, 20 or 23 micron 250% film from us, we guarantee we can beat it with our Nanofilm or FiberFilm ranges. Book a benchmarking appointment or demo day and we’ll prove it on your own pallets.
Compare all our machine stretch film ranges side by side: Nanofilm, FiberFilm and 250%.
