Globe Packaging has released a shrink wrap roll size and cost guide for UK SMEs, comparing film widths, thicknesses and core types across light-duty, heavy-duty and specialist wrapping applications.
-- Globe Packaging has published a guide examining pallet stretch wrap dimensions and cost considerations, giving UK businesses a practical reference for choosing between 400mm and 500mm rolls, standard and heavy-duty film, and different core configurations.

Choosing pallet wrap by roll price alone can overlook the wider cost of material use, application time and load protection. The European Safe Logistics Association (EUMOS) reports that approximately 4% of palletised products arrive damaged, illustrating the financial risks associated with unstable loads. Globe Packaging notes that width, film thickness and core type all affect coverage, strength and handling.
The guide breaks down the main size options by application, noting that standard-duty 400mm rolls use 17-micron film and are intended for light-to-medium pallets, parcels and regularly shaped boxed goods. Heavier loads, on the other hand, can require 500mm rolls with 25-micron film, which provides greater coverage per revolution along with increased puncture resistance and load containment.
At the smaller end of the range, the guide also covers mini pallet wrap for bundling jobs where a full-width industrial roll would be impractical. Globe Packaging identifies uses such as securing grouped products, reinforcing package stress points and wrapping smaller or irregularly shaped items.
While roll width and film thickness determine coverage and strength, core design affects how the wrap is handled during application. Standard cores suit occasional use and lower-volume wrapping, while extended-core rolls provide built-in handles that can improve grip and tension control during manual application. For businesses wrapping repeatedly throughout the day, that handling difference can affect both operator efficiency and material usage.
Accordingly, the guide encourages businesses to consider total packaging cost rather than unit price alone with Globe Packaging pointing to application time, waste percentage and the potential cost of product damage as factors that can influence the overall value of a particular roll specification.
Globe Packaging stocks pallet stretch wrap alongside boxes, tapes, mailing supplies and other packaging materials from its 60,000 sq ft UK depot. Qualifying UK mainland orders over £50 excluding VAT are eligible for complimentary next-working-day delivery, with same-day dispatch available on orders placed by 4 pm.
