Complete Guide to Black Stretch Film 500mm x 260m 20μm

Key Features

  • Size & Coverage: 500mm wide roll, 260m long—industrial-sized pallet wrap that covers large pallet loads efficiently.
  • Heavy-Duty Strength: 20 μm thickness (0.02mm) of co-extruded LLDPE film offers very high puncture and tear resistance. Suitable for heavy loads and rough handling.
  • Opaque Black Color: Fully black film provides complete opacity. Conceals and secures pallet contents for privacy and anti-theft protection.
  • UV & Weather Resistance: UV-stabilized polyethylene blocks sunlight and resists rain and dust. Ideal for indoor/outdoor storage, protecting goods from environmental damage.
  • High Stretch & Cling: Crafted with plasticizers for elasticity. The film can stretch ~150–250% (hand) or up to 300% (machine) under tension, gripping tightly for load stability. Its tacky surface ensures the wrap clings securely around pallets.
  • Compatibility: Standard 50mm core (industry norm) for use with hand-held dispensers or pallet-wrapping machines. An extended-core (built-in handle) variant makes manual wrapping easier, while the core diameter fits most machines.
  • Quality & Compliance: Manufactured to UK industry standards (PIFA-approved), with guaranteed roll length and consistent gauge. 100% recyclable LLDPE film – lightweight to save on shipping costs.
  • Cost-Effective: Lightweight and efficient – you need fewer wraps (often just 2–3 revolutions) to secure a pallet, reducing material use and cost per pallet.

Detailed Description

The black pigment makes the film fully opaque so that the contents are completely hidden from view. This provides an extra layer of security — one supplier notes that black UV‑stabilized film “protects the goods from being seen and pilfered”. In short, your high-value pallets stay private and tamper-resistant when wrapped with this film.

This pallet wrap is engineered for durability. It uses a co-extruded LLDPE (linear low-density polyethylene) formula with special plasticizers. These additives give the film high elasticity and cling – when you wrap and tension it, it snaps back (“elastic memory”) to grip the load. You get very strong load retention even under shock or bumps in transit.

The film’s high puncture resistance (noted by 3rd-party reviews) means it won’t tear easily on corners or during handling. Despite its strength, it is surprisingly lightweight for its size; this not only lowers shipping weight but also means the film stretches further, wrapping more pallets per roll (reducing waste and cost).

Unlike food cling wrap, this industrial stretch film is made for pallet use. It is not intended for direct food contact (unless specified), but it is safe for securely bundling boxed goods, cartons, machinery, raw materials, and other non-food items.

It meets UK packaging quality standards (it’s PIFA-approved), so businesses can rely on its consistency. Each roll is manufactured with guaranteed length and gauge, ensuring no “short” rolls that could jeopardize your stability.

Use Cases:

This black pallet wrap is ideal for UK businesses of all sizes. In warehouses and distribution centers it secures pallets for storage or mixed loads for shipment. It safeguards goods in manufacturing and retail while they are in transit.

Its UV and weather resistance make it useful for outdoor storage (e.g., construction materials, farm equipment) or refrigerated loads where condensation must be managed. Common industries include electronics (protecting high-tech goods), confectionery and pharmaceuticals (privacy for expensive items), beverages and FMCG, automotive components, and general freight.

In practice, customers wrap pallets of merchandise, bind multiple boxes together, or even wrap machinery – all with confidence that the black film conceals and shields their goods.

Compatibility:

This stretch film works with both manual and machine wrapping. A standard 50mm core ensures it fits most handheld dispensers and automated pallet-wrapping machines. The extended core (if used) provides a built-in handle for fast hand application.

Whether you use a hand dispenser or a turntable wrapper, the film will stretch to its rated capacity (up to ~250–300% under machine stretch) to stabilize loads. For quick bundling of pallets, the film’s high-tack surface sticks to itself – no tape or glue required – making the wrapping process faster and cleaner.

Weather & Environment:

The black pigment contains UV inhibitors, so the wrap resists sun degradation. Wrapped pallets stay dry and clean, even in damp conditions – moisture beads up on the film surface. Since the film is 100% polyethylene, it is also fully recyclable with LDPE streams, supporting environmental goals.

UK Use & Industries

This Black Stretch Film is perfect for the UK market. UK logistics, warehousing, and manufacturing businesses commonly use black pallet wrap for extra security. Industries such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, beverages, retail, and e-commerce rely on it to keep goods safe and confidential. Distribution centers use it to stabilize mixed pallet loads; construction suppliers use it to bundle building materials; even retail shops use it to discreetly wrap bulk inventory. We offer next-day UK delivery on orders (subject to availability), ensuring you get the film in hand quickly.
