Do you know the true cost of every pallet you wrap?
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.
What your free benchmark measures:
- Film used per pallet, weighed, not estimated
- Wrap pattern and pre-stretch settings on your wrapper
- Load stability, before and after
- Your true cost per pallet, in writing

We supply businesses of every size, including retail distribution centres, food and drink manufacturers, beverage producers, building materials suppliers, and transport and logistics companies.
Many suppliers have a film of their own to sell. We don't.
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.
Better for your pallets, your people, your profit and the planet.

One site or fifty, make every roll go further.
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.
- The right gauge for your loads. 4 to 8 micron, proven on your own pallets, site by site.
- Easier on your team. Lighter to use, no hard pulling, and twice the length per roll.
- Supplied your way. Boxed or bulk packed, extended or flush cores, with stock held for you and delivery to one site or many.
- Outside the Plastic Packaging Tax. 30% recycled content on every roll.
Three film ranges. No favourites.
Each film technology suits different loads. We'll tell you which suits yours, and prove it on your own line.
Specialist range
Nano range
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.
Machine pallet wrap
Specialist range
Fiber range
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
Everyday range
PPS range
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.

- Compatible with all three of our film ranges
- Film, machine and data from one supplier: one number to ring
- Four ways to pay, including pay per pallet

Your free benchmark, on your own line.
We test on your loads, your wrappers and your conditions, so the results reflect your real operation.
We visit your site
We see your loads, your wrappers and your current film at work.
We benchmark what you use now
Load stability, film per pallet, rotations, wrapping time and yearly cost.
We trial the alternatives side by side
Same loads, same wrappers, measured the same way.
Start with one site, then roll out
Your trial order is sale-or-return. If it doesn't perform, we collect and credit what you don't use.
What your report shows
- Film weight and cost per pallet
- Rotations and wrapping time
- Load stability
- Yearly cost, and the total cost per pallet rather than the price per roll
- Plastic tonnage for your Plastic Packaging Tax and EPR reporting

What is the best stretch film available?

Questions we're often asked.
Do we have to commit to anything before the benchmark?
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.
Do we need a new wrapping machine?
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.
How long do a benchmark and trial take?
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.
What happens if the film doesn't perform?
Your trial order is sale-or-return. We collect and credit what you don't use. That's a guarantee.
Can you supply all of our UK sites?
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.
Do you make your own film?
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.
Can you help with Plastic Packaging Tax and EPR?
Your benchmark report includes the film tonnage figures you need for your reporting.
Test it on your own pallets.
