Core waste adds up fast — every roll of traditional stretch wrap leaves behind a cardboard core that ends up in the bin, on the floor or taking up space on a pallet.

Our new Coreless Stretch Wrap removes that waste completely.
No cores. No clutter. Just a cleaner, lighter and more efficient way to wrap pallets.

By removing the core, you get:
✅ Zero cardboard waste
✅ Lighter rolls that are easier to handle
✅ More film per roll and fewer interruptions
✅ A smoother, tidier wrapping process from start to finish

A simple switch that reduces waste, improves handling and supports your sustainability goals — without changing the way you wrap.
