Hand-grade cast stretch wrap is quieter to apply, and has more cling than blown film. It also provides improved clarity over blown film for viewing bundle contents and requires less force to stretch the wrap during application, which reduces worker fatigue. It protects against dirt and moisture, keeps items together, and helps prevent tampering. These rolls are smaller than machine-grade wrap rolls, making them easier to transport around a facility.

Hand-grade blown stretch wrap is puncture- and tear-resistant, making it a good choice for irregular loads with sharp edges. The wrap is less likely than cast film to change shape or stretch after application, which makes it a good choice for heavy loads or loads that might shift during transport. It is manually wrapped around pallets and bundles to protect against contaminants such as dirt and moisture, keep items together, and help prevent tampering. Hand-grade rolls are smaller than machine-grade wrap rolls, making them easier to transport around a facility.
