LDPE pallet wrap, unitise, protect, secure loads in transit
LKJ® Stretch Film is a cling-rich LDPE wrap designed to unitise, stabilise and protect palletised loads through warehousing, handling and transit. The film is wrapped around the load under tension and its elastic recovery keeps the items tightly bound; the high-stretch resin formula holds tightly to itself, locking cartons together as a single unit while shielding them from dust, moisture and tampering. Available in hand grade and machine grade.
Improved stability of products and packages, forms a single unit load
More efficient handling and storage of unit loads
Dust and moisture protection during transit
Tamper resistance, resists package pilferage
Some degree of sun protection (UV grades on request)
Hand grade and machine grade both available
Suitable for warehousing, palletising, export packing
LKJ® Stretch Film is an LDPE (low-density polyethylene) pallet wrap made by Lalit Jain Industries Pvt. Ltd. at its units in Rai, Sonipat and Bawana, Delhi NCR, India. It is stretched as it is applied and clings to itself, pulling a stack of cartons into a single unit load that handles and stores as one object instead of many. Film is produced in 23 and 29 micron thicknesses, in hand grade for manual wrapping and machine grade for turntable and rotary-arm wrappers, with machine grade taking up to 200 per cent pre-stretch. Widths run from 3 inches to 24 inches (76mm to 610mm) and can be slit to any width in that range, with single-side or both-side cling. Wrapped loads gain dust and moisture protection, tamper resistance and some degree of sun protection, with UV grades on request. Share your pallet size and wrapper type for a quote.
Stretch film is a thin polyethylene wrap applied under tension around a palletised load. As it is stretched it tries to recover, and that stored tension is what pulls the cartons together. The film clings to itself rather than to the product, so nothing sticky touches the goods and the wrap comes off cleanly at the other end.
The point of it is unitising: a wrapped pallet behaves as one object. That gives improved stability of products and packages, more efficient handling and storage of unit loads, and far less shifting when a truck brakes or corners. It also adds dust and moisture protection during transit, tamper resistance against package pilferage, and some degree of sun protection, with UV grades available on request.
Stretch film handles the wrapping; holding an individual heavy carton or stack in compression is a different job, usually done with filament and reinforced tapes from the Lalit Jain Industries range before the pallet is wrapped.
Hand grade is wrapped by an operator walking the pallet with a roll or a hand dispenser. Rolls are narrower and lighter so they can be handled comfortably, and the film is formulated to stretch usefully at the modest tension a person can apply.
Machine grade is loaded onto a turntable or rotary-arm wrapper. The machine pre-stretches the film before it reaches the load, up to 200 per cent pre-stretch on LKJ® machine grade, so each metre of film on the roll covers far more of the pallet than it would by hand, and the wrap tension is the same on every pallet instead of varying with who is doing the wrapping.
Both grades are available from LKJ®. The choice follows the equipment you already have and your throughput: manual wrapping suits low and mixed volumes, a wrapper pays back when the same load shape goes out repeatedly.
LKJ® Stretch Film is produced in 23 and 29 micron thicknesses. Thicker film resists puncture better, which matters when the load has sharp carton corners, exposed pallet edges or protruding parts; thinner film is normal for regular, well-squared cartons.
Widths run from 3 inches to 24 inches (76mm to 610mm) and can be slit to any width in that range. The wide widths are the standard pallet wrapping sizes, covering a full layer in one pass. Narrow widths are used for bundling smaller items, reinforcing a corner, or wrapping long products such as profiles and pipe.
Cling is specified as single-side or both-side. Single-side cling keeps the outer face of the wrap dry to the touch, so wrapped pallets do not stick to each other in storage; both-side cling grips harder where loads are unstable. For cartons that also need sealing before wrapping, see Prateek® Tapes BOPP packaging tapes.
Stretch film is one of the few products where the right answer is decided almost entirely by the load rather than by the film. Four things about the pallet settle it, and they are worth writing down before you ask anyone to quote.
The pallet profile. Is the stack square and flush with the pallet edges, or do cartons overhang? Does anything stick out, a drum rim, a bracket, a corner of machinery? Overhang and protrusions are what puncture a wrap, and they push the choice towards a heavier film and towards corner protection.
How the load behaves. A dense, interlocked stack of identical cartons needs the wrap only to hold it together. A light, tall or mixed load is actively trying to lean, and the wrap has to supply the stability. The second case needs more wrap tension and more overlap, which is where machine wrapping earns its keep.
Where the pallet goes. A wrap that only has to survive a trip across the yard is a different job from one that will be stacked, cross-docked and left standing in a container. Dust, damp and handling all add requirement.
How many pallets a day. Throughput decides hand grade against machine grade more reliably than anything else.
LKJ® Stretch Film is produced in both grades and slit to width, and the exact thickness and width for your pallet is confirmed against your requirement rather than taken off a shelf. Send the four answers above and we will come back with the specification. If what you are really trying to pin down is film consumption, our guide on how much stretch film you need per pallet explains what to measure and why no honest wraps-per-pallet figure exists.
Most stretch film enquiries arrive as "send me a quote for stretch film" and nothing more, which cannot be answered usefully, because two pallets of the same height can need quite different film. These details let us confirm a specification first time:
Film is slit to the width you ask for, and the thickness, width and grade are confirmed per requirement. Samples can be sent for a wrapping trial before a production order. Send the list above on WhatsApp or by email and our team will reply with the specification and a quote.
Stretch film is part of the LKJ® specialty tapes and consumables range, and most despatch bays order it alongside cross filament tape for strapping and floor marking tape for the pallet bays themselves.
A loose stack has to be handled carton by carton and topples when a forklift moves quickly. Wrapping it in stretch film gives improved stability of products and packages and more efficient handling and storage of unit loads. Machine grade with up to 200 per cent pre-stretch keeps wrap tension consistent pallet after pallet.
Export loads sit in yards and containers where dust and damp reach them and where nobody is watching the pallet. Stretch film adds dust and moisture protection during transit and tamper resistance that resists package pilferage, because a cut in the wrap is visible. Some degree of sun protection is inherent, and UV grades are available on request.
Not every despatch bay has a wrapping machine, and mixed loads change shape every time. Hand grade film in narrower widths lets an operator wrap odd-sized and part pallets without setting a machine. Widths are slit anywhere from 3 inches to 24 inches, so the same product covers both bundling and full pallet work.
Extrusions, profiles, pipe and rolled goods are too long to palletise and have to be held as a bundle instead. Narrow-width film wraps along the length of the bundle rather than around a stack, keeping the pieces in line and keeping dust and damp off them. The same film is used to reinforce a corner or a weak face on a conventional pallet.
A pallet that has been opened and part-picked is no longer a unit load, and it travels badly. Re-wrapping it with hand grade film restores the stability of products and packages before it moves between a plant, a store and a despatch bay. Because the film clings to itself and not to the goods, the previous wrap comes off without leaving anything on the cartons.

VisitLKJ® Stretch Film is made from LDPE, low-density polyethylene. It is applied under tension and clings to itself rather than to the goods, so the wrap holds the load together and then peels away without leaving adhesive on the cartons. Cling is specified as single-side or both-side, depending on how the wrapped pallets will be stored.
Hand grade is wrapped manually with a roll or hand dispenser and is formulated for the tension a person can apply. Machine grade is fitted to a turntable or rotary-arm wrapper that pre-stretches the film before it reaches the load, up to 200 per cent on this product, giving more coverage per roll and identical tension on every pallet. Both grades are available.
It is produced in 23 and 29 micron thicknesses. Thicker film has better puncture resistance, which helps when the load has sharp carton corners, exposed pallet edges or protruding parts. Thinner film is the usual choice for regular, well-squared cartons. Tell us the load type and we will advise which of the two to trial.
Widths run from 3 inches to 24 inches, which is 76mm to 610mm, and the film can be slit to any width within that range. Wide rolls are the standard pallet wrapping sizes; narrow rolls are used for bundling smaller items, reinforcing corners, and wrapping long products such as profiles and pipe.
Yes. Listed benefits include dust and moisture protection during transit, tamper resistance that resists package pilferage, and some degree of sun protection, with UV grades available on request. The wrap also delivers improved stability of products and packages and more efficient handling and storage of unit loads.
They do different jobs and are often used together. Stretch film wraps the whole load into a single unit and shields it from dust and moisture. Filament tape holds individual heavy cartons or a stack in compression and, in heavy packaging, can replace metal and polypropylene strapping. LKJ® Cross Filament Tape covers that side of the work.
Yes, pallet wrap, pallet wrapping film and stretch film all describe the same product: a polyethylene film applied under tension that clings to itself and unitises a load. "Stretch wrap" is the same again. The name usually follows the job rather than the material, which is why a buyer wrapping pallets and a buyer bundling profiles may ask for it under different names.
That is confirmed against your requirement rather than fixed in advance. The pallet footprint and loaded height, whether the load overhangs, what is on the pallet, whether anything sharp protrudes, and whether you wrap by hand or by machine all change the answer. Tell us those and we will confirm the grade, thickness and roll width with the quote.
Hand wrap or machine wrap, and the wrapper type if it is a machine; the pallet footprint and loaded height; what the load consists of and roughly how heavy it is; whether anything sharp or protruding has to be wrapped over; how the pallet travels and is stored; the roll width you use today if any; and pallets per day plus the order quantity. With those we can confirm a specification first time.
Yes. Film is slit to the width you ask for within the range produced, so bundling widths and full pallet widths come off the same product. Narrow rolls are the usual choice for bundling smaller items, reinforcing a corner and wrapping long goods such as profiles and pipe; the wide rolls cover a pallet layer in a single pass.
There is no single number, because it depends on the load. A dense, interlocked stack of identical cartons needs the wrap only to hold it together; a light, tall or mixed load needs the wrap to supply the stability, which means more tension and more overlap, and usually more passes. The reliable way to settle it is a wrapping trial on your own load, samples are available on request for exactly that.
