Stretch Film Blog — Technical Insights from the Factory Floor

Practical Guidance on Pallet Wrapping, Film Selection & Cost Control.

Written by the Vistech engineering team, our articles cover the decisions that matter on real pallet lines: choosing gauges, comparing wrap methods, passing audits, protecting loads in automated and cold-chain warehouses, and cutting cost per pallet without cutting protection. Every recommendation is grounded in what we see every day on our own cast extrusion and slitting lines in Dongguan.

What We Write About

Six Topic Lanes, One Goal: Better Wrapped Pallets

Every article on this blog falls into one of six lanes. Browse by the problem you are trying to solve — or contact us directly and get the answer from an engineer instead of an article.

Hand Film & Ergonomie

Grip, wrist strain, dispenser choice, thickness selection and safe wrapping technique for manual pallet wrapping.

Machine Film Performance

Puncture resistance, ynsletten krêft, pre-stretch settings and film behavior on rotary turntable and fully automatic wrappers.

Warehouse Automatisearring & Kâlde ketting

Keeping loads stable in AS/RS high-bay racking, freezer warehouses and other demanding handling environments.

Standerts & Testen

ASTM test methods, quality benchmarks and how to read a supplier data sheet with a critical eye.

Kosten & ROI

Cost per pallet, downgauging economics and total cost of ownership versus alternative load-securing methods.

Materialen & Manufacturing

Co-extrusion architecture, resin selection and what really happens on the cast line that changes film performance.
