How to Use This Calculator

Enter pallet dimensions (L x W x H in inches) and number of pallets per day.
Enter stretch wrap gauge (80-150 gauge) and roll width (inches).
Enter wraps per pallet and desired film overlap percentage.
Read film consumption per pallet (linear ft), rolls per day, and annual film cost.
Optimize by increasing pre-stretch ratio — higher pre-stretch reduces film usage per pallet.

How the result changes with Number of pallets

Number of pallets: Total pallets to be wrapped.
Pallet length (in): Pallet deck length (standard GMA = 48 in).
Pallet width (in): Pallet deck width (standard GMA = 40 in).
Load height (in): Height of the stacked load on the pallet.
Wrap revolutions: Number of full wrap cycles bottom-to-top (3 is standard for stable loads).
Film width (in): Width of the stretch film roll (18 or 20 in is standard).
Roll length (ft): Linear feet of film per roll (1000-1500 for hand, 5000-9000 for machine).
Pre-stretch %: Pre-stretch ratio (0% for hand wrap, 200-300% for machine stretch wrappers).

Number of pallets = 50, Pallet length (in) = 48, Pallet width (in) = 40, Load height (in) = 60 = 8 input(s) provided
Calculate Rolls needed
Rolls needed
5 = 5
Calculate Pallets per roll
11.4 = 11.4
Calculate Film per pallet
Film per pallet = filmPerPalletIn / 12
132 = 132
Calculate Effective roll length
Effective roll length = rollLengthFt * stretchMultiplier
1500 = 1500
