Stretch & Shrink Packaging Calculators
Use measured film consumption to cost wrapped loads and bundles.
Stretch Film Cost per Pallet
Weigh representative actual qualified wrap cycles. Include tails and rewraps in the measurement. Measured consumption avoids guessing savings from nominal prestretch or thickness.
Pallets per Stretch Film Roll
Exclude the core and wrapping. Round complete loads down and show residual film separately; tail and rewrap consumption belong in measured grams per load.
Stretch Film Consumption Comparison
Compare representative measured consumption after performance qualification. The planning period is the entered load count, not an assumed year.
Stretch Wrapper Payback
Use comparable measured labour and qualified film processes. Include installed equipment and changed operating expenses. Simple cash payback excludes financing, taxes and discounting.
Shrink Film Cost per Bundle
Enter the full opened web width, twice the folded width for centre-fold film. Cut length comes from the actual qualified process, not a guessed product perimeter.
Before you start
Use measured film consumption to cost wrapped loads and bundles. Use the tool’s displayed scope and limits; estimates do not establish transport safety or certification.
Inputs to have ready
The exact inputs depend on the selected tool. Common inputs in this section include:
- Measured net film per load
