120 Gauge Stretch Wraps

Yes, they are equivalent measurements. Gauge is an imperial unit where 100 gauge equals 1 mil. Microns are a metric measurement. A 120 gauge stretch film is approximately 30 microns thick, providing excellent strength and durability for the most demanding applications.

While possible, 120 gauge film is very thick and requires significant force to stretch properly by hand. For optimal performance and material savings, we recommend using it with a semi-automatic or automatic pallet wrapper. This ensures consistent tension and containment force on every load.

The primary benefits are increased puncture and tear resistance, higher load containment force, and enhanced security for heavy or unstable loads. This reduces the risk of product damage during shipping and handling, especially for items with sharp edges that could pierce thinner films.

Consider your load weight and shape. If your pallets are over 2,500 lbs, have sharp corners, or are irregularly shaped, 120 gauge is a safe choice. For lighter, uniform loads, a thinner film like 80 gauge may be more cost-effective. Contact our experts for a free assessment of your needs.
