Sanstrap® Pallet Bands or Stretchbands offer a Pallet stability solution that is fast to apply, fast to remove and cost effective. Using Sanstrap® involves the simple manual application of a thin polyethelene Stretch-film circular band.
Internal Warehousing
Pallet stretch bands are often used for internal warehousing and storage.
The Sanstrap® represents a solution of temporary pallet stabilising where clients may want to access goods from a pallet or repack the pallet and then store that pallet with some form of stability.
In larger sites the point of final pallet wrapping can be a long distance from the pick and pack/place operations – Transport from where the pallet is packed to where it is wrapped or packed for transport can be an arduous task with frequent dropping of loose packs during the long forklift rides.
The Sanstrap® stretchbands represent a quick, cheap and machine free way to quickly stabilise loads.
Stretch Wrap replacement or minimisation program
Many companies are looking at ways to reduce their environmental footprint.
Stretch film can sometimes be replaced by Sanstrap® stretchbands together with recyclable Pallet Cornerboard – a great cost effective solution – saving you and the environment.
Larger clients can report this measure as part of the initiatives towards the national packaging covenant –citing hundreds of tonnes of saved plastic waste in some instances.

This suits standard 1100mm x 1100mm or similar pallets. Smaller Pallets are catered for by doubling up the stretchband. In some instances like heavy drums it may need more than one stretchband to be applied. Other sizes are available with volume orders and these sizes include wider stretchbands and shorter or longer stretchbands. In general these special requirements will require orders of approximately 400 rolls of 200 pieces and lead times will apply.
