Hand-grade product-concealing stretch wrap is manually wrapped around pallets and bundles and can be applied with or without a handheld dispenser. The worker applies the wrap by holding the roll and walking around the bundle. Product-concealing stretch wrap (also called opaque stretch wrap) cannot be seen through, which provides added security by hiding product labels when shipping sensitive or valuable items. These rolls are smaller than machine-grade wrap rolls, making them easier to transport around a facility. Hand-grade wrap is used in low- to moderate-volume wrapping applications and can be used to wrap boxes and irregular loads or bundles, such as lumber or pallets with irregular loads.

Hand-grade product-concealing stretch wrap with an integrated handle protects hands from the sharp edges of the core, reduces cuts and abrasions, and eliminates the need to purchase a handle separately. To apply the wrap, the worker holds the handle and walks around the bundle. Product-concealing stretch wrap hides the contents of the bundle, protects against dust and moisture, prevents and indicates tampering, and keep items together. It is often used to provide added security by hiding product labels when shipping sensitive or valuable items.

Machine-grade product-concealing stretch wrap comes on larger, heavier rolls than hand-grade wrap and is installed on a stretch wrap machine. It is used in medium-to-high volume packing and shipping applications to conceal bundle contents, protect the package from dust and moisture, prevent and indicate tampering, and keep items together. Opaque stretch wrap cannot be seen through, which provides added security by hiding product labels when shipping sensitive or valuable items.
