biodegradable stretch film for pallet
Foshan Opalus Adhesive Products Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer of biodegradable stretch film for pallet packaging, made for warehouses, export shippers, and e-commerce fulfillment operations that want to reduce traditional PE use while keeping reliable pallet wrapping performance. This compostable pallet wrap can be produced with PLA/PBAT-based stretch film or another verified compostable formulation. Thickness, roll width, cling performance, stretch rate, and supporting documents are matched to the selected grade before bulk production.
- Material: PLA/PBAT-based stretch film or verified compostable formulation
- Thickness: 10-30 um, selected by pallet load
- Width: 450 mm, 500 mm, or specified pallet wrapping width
- Roll type: hand roll, machine roll, or specified roll length
- Core: 76 mm / 3 inch paper core
- Use: warehouse, export, and e-commerce pallet packaging
Product Overview
This film is developed for pallet packaging operations that need a lower traditional-PE option, not simply a recycled stretch film replacement. Recycled stretch film mainly focuses on recycled plastic content. Biodegradable or compostable stretch film depends on resin formulation, disposal condition, composting route, certificate scope, and test documentation. For warehouse and export use, the material structure and wrapping result should be reviewed together before regular use.
In actual pallet wrapping, the film still has to work as a load-holding material. It should stretch smoothly around carton stacks, resist tearing at pallet corners, and keep the film tail closed after wrapping. PLA/PBAT blend and modified PBAT systems are often selected because they can balance film clarity, self-adhesion, load containment, and handling strength when matched to pallet type, carton edge condition, wrapping route, and storage period.
For machine wrapping, a short trial is recommended before large-scale use. Pre-stretch setting, wrapping tension, turntable speed, overlap ratio, pallet height, and carton edges can all change the final wrapping result. For transparent grades, barcode visibility, shipping-label readability, and carton mark recognition should also be checked after wrapping.
Benefits
- Supports traditional PE reduction in warehouse, export, and e-commerce pallet packaging.
- PLA/PBAT-based stretch film can be matched to wrapping strength and composting documentation.
- 10-30 um thickness supports light, medium, and more demanding carton pallet loads.
- 450 mm and 500 mm widths fit common hand wrapping and machine wrapping operations.
- Cling performance helps the film tail stay closed after wrapping and short pallet movement.
- Load containment can be checked through pallet trials, overlap-ratio review, retained samples, and batch comparison.
How Should Certification Documents and Sample Testing Be Checked Before Bulk Use?
Before biodegradable stretch film for pallet is used for regular warehouse or export packaging, documents and wrapping performance should be checked in the same approval process. If the film is supplied as PLA/PBAT-based stretch film or another verified compostable formulation, request the material declaration, compostability report, certificate scope, covered film thickness, target market, and disposal condition. Sample rolls should then be tested on real pallets, including carton corners, mixed-height loads, machine pre-stretch setting, film tail cling, tear resistance, barcode visibility, and short-distance pallet movement.

Applications
- Warehouse pallet packaging for internal transfer and short-term storage.
- Export pallet wrapping where load containment, label visibility, and film clarity are required.
- E-commerce fulfillment pallets with mixed cartons, barcode scanning, and shipment identification needs.
- Light-to-medium industrial pallet loads after wrapping strength is validated by actual pallet trial.
- Semi-automatic and automatic wrapping lines that can adjust tension, overlap ratio, and pre-stretch setting.
- Packaging programs seeking traditional PE reduction without treating recycled stretch film as the same solution.
When Is Biodegradable Stretch Film for Pallet Suitable for Warehouse and Export Loads?
Biodegradable stretch film for pallet is suitable when the load is relatively regular, the wrapping route is controlled, and the packaging operation needs to reduce conventional PE stretch film while keeping pallet stability. It can be used for e-commerce fulfillment pallets, warehouse transfer pallets, export cartons, and light-to-medium industrial goods where film clarity, cling performance, and tear resistance are still required. For sharp-edged, very heavy, or long-storage pallets, test the film with actual pallet weight, wrapping tension, storage temperature, humidity, inventory cycle, and transport route before bulk approval.
FAQ
1. Is biodegradable stretch film for pallet the same as recycled stretch film?
No. Recycled stretch film focuses on recycled plastic content, while biodegradable or compostable stretch film depends on resin formulation, composting condition, disposal route, and test documentation.
2. Can this compostable pallet wrap replace traditional PE stretch film directly?
It can be considered for many warehouse, export, and e-commerce pallet applications, but sample testing is recommended first. Stretch rate, cling performance, tear resistance, puncture resistance, and machine settings may differ from standard PE film.
3. What documents should be checked before purchase?
The packaging or sourcing team should review the material declaration, compostability test report, certificate scope where applicable, covered thickness, target market, disposal condition, sample approval record, and batch identification.
4. How should sample rolls be tested?
Sample rolls should be tested on actual pallets with real carton corners, wrapping tension, pre-stretch setting, overlap ratio, film tail cling, barcode visibility, short-distance pallet movement, retained sample comparison, and batch identification before bulk approval.
