Stretch Wrap Machines Built for Faster, Safer Pallet Wrapping

At X-Pak Global, we help Australian warehouses, manufacturers, freight teams and distribution centres secure pallets faster, safer and with less waste. Our range of stretch wrap machines and pallet wrappers is designed to improve wrap consistency, reduce manual handling and help keep palletised goods stable during storage and transport.

Whether you are wrapping a few pallets a day or running a high-volume dispatch operation, the right pallet wrapping machine can make a measurable difference to productivity, load security and film usage.

Why Choose an X-Pak Stretch Wrap Machine?

Manual pallet wrapping can be slow, inconsistent and physically demanding. A stretch wrap machine helps apply consistent tension around every pallet, reducing the risk of loose loads, over-wrapping and unnecessary film waste.

X-Pak’s pallet wrappers are selected for real warehouse conditions and backed by practical advice from a team that understands load restraint, packaging performance and day-to-day operational pressure.

Benefits of Pallet Wrapping Machines

A quality pallet wrapping machine can help your business:

  • Wrap pallets faster than manual wrapping
  • Improve load stability before transport
  • Reduce stretch film usage through controlled tension and pre-stretch capability
  • Reduce operator fatigue and manual handling strain
  • Improve consistency across shifts and teams
  • Create a cleaner, more professional wrapped pallet
  • Support higher-volume warehouse and dispatch operations

X-Pak’s range includes semi-automatic pallet wrapping machines, power pre-stretch machines, mobile pallet wrappers and fully automatic stretch wrap systems to suit different warehouse layouts and pallet volumes. The current category includes five machine options, with pricing shown on selected models and POA available for more specialised systems.

Need Help Choosing the Right Pallet Wrapper?

Choosing the right stretch wrap machine depends on your pallet volume, load type, available floor space, wrap performance requirements and budget. X-Pak can help you compare options and recommend a machine that suits your operation.

What Our Customers Say

Any Questions? We’ve Got You Covered.

These are the most commonly asked questions. Here’s everything you need to know about how our products work in your industry.

What is PET strapping?

PET strapping, also known as polyester strapping or pet strap, is a high tensile plastic strapping designed for securing heavy palletised loads during road, rail and sea transport.

At X-Pak, our PET strapping is engineered for Australian conditions. It is used extensively across cotton gins, timber mills, hay exporters, brick manufacturers, mining suppliers and container packers who require consistent tension retention and compliance with the CTU Code and NHVR Load Restraint Guide.

It is commonly green to clearly distinguish it from lighter duty polypropylene strapping used for cartons and light bundling.

In most Australian industrial applications, yes.

High quality PET strapping delivers break strengths comparable to steel strapping while offering one critical advantage: elastic memory. If your load settles during transit, PET strap contracts and maintains tension. Steel does not. Once steel goes slack, the load is unsecured.

We regularly assist sites transitioning from steel to PET with no disruption to production. If you are unsure, we can review your current strap specification and confirm what break strength is actually required.

Steel strapping carries risk when cut under tension. Lash back injuries and sharp edge lacerations are well documented in warehouse environments.

PET strapping is safer to handle:

  • No sharp edges
  • No dangerous spring back
  • Significantly lighter rolls
  • Reduced manual handling strain

Polypropylene strapping is suited for:

  • Light cartons
  • Internal pallet moves
  • Short term storage

PET strapping is suited for:

  • Heavy palletised goods
  • Export containers
  • Timber, cotton, bricks, hay and mining products
  • Long haul transport

If your load is travelling by road, rail or sea, PET strapping is generally the correct specification. Using polypropylene strap on heavy loads often leads to stretch loss and pallet instability.

If you want clarity, we can assess your pallet weight, stacking pattern and transport method and recommend the correct strap width and break strength.

PET strapping is available in multiple widths and break strengths, typically ranging from approximately 530 kg to over 1350 kg.

The correct selection depends on:

  • Pallet weight
  • Load height
  • Transport method
  • Whether the freight is containerised
  • Restraint method

Over specifying increases cost. Under specifying increases risk. There is often a simpler way to approach this than just choosing the thickest strap available.

We can calculate the appropriate specification for your operation and ensure it aligns with compliance requirements.

PET strapping can be applied using:

  • Manual tensioners and sealers
  • Combination tools
  • Buckle systems
  • Battery powered friction weld tools
  • Fully automatic strapping machines

For high volume palletising, battery powered strapping tools significantly improve productivity and reduce operator fatigue.

X-Pak also offers a loan tool program to ensure zero downtime if your tool requires servicing. For manufacturing sites running continuous production, this removes a common operational risk.

Yes.

Polyester strapping, commonly known as PET strapping or pet strap, is recyclable when clean and separated from general waste.

At X-Pak, we support this through our unique ReStrap program. ReStrap is a practical, closed loop recovery solution designed for Australian manufacturers, exporters and freight operators using PET strapping in volume.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best stretch wrap machine for my warehouse?

The best stretch wrap machine depends on how many pallets you wrap each day, your load types, available space and whether you need semi-automatic, mobile or fully automatic wrapping. X-Pak can help assess your requirements and recommend the most suitable pallet wrapper for your warehouse or dispatch area.

Do X-Pak stretch wrap machines come with setup?

Yes. X-Pak offers free machine setup with every new stretch wrap machine, helping your team get up and running quickly. Every new machine also includes 2 free rolls of pallet stretch wrap so you can start wrapping straight away.

Can a pallet wrapping machine reduce stretch film usage?

Yes. A pallet wrapping machine can help reduce film waste by applying more consistent tension than manual wrapping. Machines with pre-stretch capability can also help stretch the film further, which may reduce the amount of wrap used per pallet.

Is a stretch wrap machine better than wrapping pallets by hand?

For many warehouses, yes. A stretch wrap machine is usually faster, more consistent and easier on operators than manual wrapping. It can also help improve pallet presentation and load stability, especially when wrapping regular volumes of pallets.

What industries use pallet wrapping machines?

Pallet wrapping machines are commonly used by warehouses, food and beverage manufacturers, freight and logistics companies, 3PL providers, distribution centres, exporters and manufacturers that need to secure palletised goods for storage or transport.

Do you supply the machine stretch wrap as well?

Yes. X-Pak supplies both stretch wrap machines and compatible machine stretch wrap, including options for different pallet types, load weights and wrapping requirements. This helps ensure the machine and wrap work together for better performance.

What is load restraint?

Load restraint is the process of securing cargo within a transportation vessel, such as a truck, ship, or train, to prevent movement, shifting, or falling during transit.

Load restraint is crucial to ensure the safety of the cargo, the vehicle, and everyone involved in the transportation process. It prevents accidents, damage to the cargo, and maintains overall road and transportation safety in the logistics supply chain.

Various devices are used for load restraint, including strapping, lashing, dunnage bags, anti-slip mats, and tensioners. The choice of device depends on the type of cargo, the mode of transportation, and the regulations governing the transport.
The appropriate method depends on factors such as the weight, size, and shape of the cargo. Regulatory requirements and the mode of transportation also play a role. Contact X-Pak for free advice on the most effective solution for you.

At X-Pak Global, we understand the importance of selecting the right cargo securing solution for your specific needs. To assist you in making an informed decision, we offer complimentary site visits and assessments. Our team of experts will visit your location, evaluate your cargo restraint, and provide personalised recommendations based on its weight, size, and unique characteristics.

During the site visit, we’ll assess the transportation conditions and consider factors such as the mode of transport and any regulatory requirements. This comprehensive evaluation allows us to tailor our recommendations to ensure the safety and security of your cargo and people throughout the transportation process.
