Frequently Asked Questions
What factors affect stretch wrap costs?
Stretch wrap costs depend on film type, thickness, stretch level, pallet size, wrapping pattern, and application method. Our calculator considers all these factors to provide accurate cost estimates.
How do I choose the right film type?
Film selection depends on load requirements: cast film for light loads, blown film for puncture resistance, pre-stretched film for labor savings, and specialty films for specific applications like food grade or UV protection.
What is the optimal stretch percentage?
Optimal stretch varies by film type: 200-250% for standard applications, up to 400% for high-performance films. Higher stretch provides better load containment but requires more force to apply.
How accurate are the cost calculations?
Our calculator uses industry-standard formulas and current market data, achieving 95%+ accuracy for typical applications. Results may vary based on specific supplier pricing and local conditions.
Can I save and reuse calculations?
Yes, the calculator automatically saves your calculation history locally. You can also export results to PDF, Excel, or JSON formats for documentation and analysis.
