Stretch film specialists · Impartial advice
Customers have cut wrapping costs by up to half. See the case studies →
We measure how your pallets are wrapped, what each one really costs and where loads could fail, then prove the fix on your own line.
Unlike suppliers tied to their own film, we recommend the best film for the job, with no favourites.

Specialist suppliers of stretch film, shrink film and packaging consumables, delivered to every site within 24 hours.
Trusted by some of the UK's biggest brands
We supply businesses of every size, including retail distribution centres, food and drink manufacturers, beverage producers, building materials suppliers, and transport and logistics companies.
Plenty of packaging suppliers sell film under their own brand name. It may be a good film, but it gives them a reason to recommend it whether or not it suits your loads.
We don't put our name on film. We buy from several manufacturers, test the best of them on your own line, and recommend whichever holds your load best at the lowest cost per pallet. Sometimes that's Nano, sometimes Fiber, and sometimes it's the film you already use.
Compare all our machine stretch film ranges side by side: containment, cost per pallet and consistency.
Each film technology suits different loads. We'll tell you which suits yours, and prove it on your own line.
Our premium film, made to stretch 300% and beyond. Dozens of ultra-thin layers are combined into one, giving high strength, puncture resistance and cling at a lower gauge, so every pallet stays secure with less plastic.
Best for: demanding, high-volume machine wrapping where you want the most load holding from the least film.
Explore nano stretch film
A unique, patented reinforced film. Reinforcing strands run through it, so it grips harder and holds loads more securely, with up to 60% less plastic by weight.
Best for: heavy, tall or awkward loads, from bottled drinks to bagged feed and furniture.
Explore Fiber Film
The everyday workhorse for powered pre-stretch wrappers, made for 250% stretch. It stretches evenly on the carriage without breaking or narrowing, so every metre on the roll covers more of the pallet.
Best for: high-volume machine wrapping on wrappers with powered pre-stretch.
Machine pallet wrapAll three ranges are compatible with INNOV8®, our own pallet wrapper. We supply hand-wrap film too.

From Packaging Innovations
Every INNOV8 wrapper measures every pallet it wraps: film used, cost per pallet, throughput and film breaks. VisionFlex Cloud sends the summary to your management team at the end of every working day, in writing.

Find out more about the planetPre-stretched hand film
Pre-stretched film is stretched at the factory, so a thinner film holds the load with less effort. It’s already the choice of some of the UK’s biggest distribution centres, including one of its largest retailers. Whether you’re switching from standard hand film or already use pre-stretch, we’ll match the right gauge and core to your loads and keep you supplied.
We test on your loads, your wrappers and your conditions, so the results reflect your real operation.
We see your loads, your wrappers and your current film at work.
Load stability, film per pallet, rotations, wrapping time and yearly cost.
Same loads, same wrappers, measured the same way.
Your trial order is sale-or-return. If it doesn't perform, we collect and credit what you don't use.

No. The benchmark is free, with no commitment. We show you, on your own line, what switching would save. When the numbers make the case, we make the move easy: a sale-or-return trial order, then a planned roll-out across your sites.
Not necessarily. We benchmark your current set-up first. If a new wrapper would pay for itself, INNOV8 is our own range, and we'll show you the numbers before you decide.
The on-site benchmark takes about one to three hours, depending on your lines and loads. The trial then runs on your own line for an agreed period, long enough to give you reliable numbers.
Your trial order is sale-or-return. We collect and credit what you don't use. That's a guarantee.
Yes. By agreement, we hold up to three months of your film in our own stock. That frees up space in your warehouse and lets us hold your price, and we deliver to each of your sites with a 24-hour service.
No. We're not a film manufacturer, which is why we can recommend any film. INNOV8 is our own wrapper range, and all three of our film ranges are compatible with it.
Your benchmark report includes the film tonnage figures you need for your reporting.
