Product configuration
- Material / construction
- PLA+PBAT blend; 50:50 is the reference formulation. Final polymer ratio, additives, cling package and permitted claims are confirmed against the approved sample and current finished-SKU evidence.
- Dimensions
- 500 mm × 400 m reference roll; custom 350–750 mm width × 200–800 m length
- Thickness / weight
- 15–25 μm; select the final gauge through wrapper, load, edge, journey and containment testing
- Colour
- Natural clear reference; green, black and custom tint subject to colour approval and evidence-scope review
- Capacity / application reference
- 400 m reference roll length; custom 200–800 m. Roll length is not a pallet-load or containment rating.
Order & supply
- Order quantity
- Reference production volume: 60 cartons (approximately 1 tonne); custom constructions may start around 500 kg subject to colour, print and converting setup
- Production timing
- Indicative 15–25 days after signed specification, artwork, evidence review and production-sample approval; confirm for each order
- Unit & case packing
- Six rolls per carton is the reference pack-out; final quantity depends on width, length, gauge, core and carton gross-weight limit
- Customisation
- Specify 350–750 mm width, 200–800 m length, 15–25 μm gauge, 50 or 76 mm core, unwind direction, cling configuration, natural clear or approved tint, edge or full-surface print, roll label, carton marks and pallet pattern. Formula, pigment, ink or print changes require finished-SKU claim review.

Product overview
Bring material choice into a practical film trial
A PLA+PBAT formulation describes a material family; the approved finished film must also fit the application. Run the sample on the planned equipment with representative loads and handling conditions. Use those results to agree the final roll specification, pack count and applicable product documentation.
Biodegradable and compostable stretch-wrap formats for controlled logistics trials. Define the load, wrapping equipment and transport cycle before comparing a production-format roll.
Plan your sample reviewKey features
The details that
shape the product
Six points connect the selected format to its everyday use, finished pack and repeat supply.
02
Machine-carriage and setting qualification
Confirm wrapper model, carriage type, film path, core, operating speed, tension and any pre-stretch system. Start from a conservative controlled setup and approve settings through a documented line trial.
03
Cling, tail adhesion and controlled unwind
Evaluate unwind force, layer-to-layer cling, tail attachment and blocking after the agreed storage and conditioning period. Lock the cling side and roll orientation in the signed specification.
04
Representative pallet-containment trial
Test the proposed gauge and wrap pattern on the actual carton, tote or tray load through the intended handling cycle. Record initial and retained containment, load shift, film damage and product damage.
05
Clear-film load identification
Natural clear film can support visual checks and label scanning through the wrap, but readability depends on layers, tension, print contrast, glare and scanner setup. Validate the buyer’s label and workflow rather than publishing a fixed clarity value.
06
OEM width, core, tint, print and pack-out
Approve 350–750 mm widths, 200–800 m lengths, 50/76 mm cores, colour, edge or full print, labels, carton marks and pallet pattern while keeping each custom element inside the required evidence scope.
Applications
Find your
working context
Choose the relevant operation and share its practical requirements with your inquiry.
01
General warehousing and distribution
Qualify the 500 mm machine roll for routine stable carton and tote pallets. Compare wrap pattern, total film per secured pallet, retained containment and handling damage against the current system.
02
Retail distribution centres
Use clear film for store-bound mixed cartons and reusable totes where load identification matters. Validate the actual label, scanner, overlap, route and return-handling process before rollout.
03
Food and beverage pallet logistics
Contain sealed cases and beverage trays during dry transport and storage. The film is secondary pallet packaging; this application does not establish direct food contact, low-temperature performance or moisture-barrier claims.
04
E-commerce and 3PL mixed loads
Evaluate varied but stable parcel and tote pallets after correcting overhang, voids and sharp edges. Lock the wrap recipe by load family rather than treating one setting as universal.
Certifications & product documents
The file behind
the finished format
Keep the specification, applicable certification and intended-use information connected to the product you order.
EN 13432 dossier review
For an EU industrial-compostability claim, match the current certificate or report holder, product identity, formulation, maximum thickness, colour, additives, printing and validity to the exact finished roll.
BPI / ASTM D6400 catalog check
For a North American commercial-composting claim, verify the exact supplier and item in the current BPI catalog and confirm permitted artwork. An ASTM D6400 report, resin certificate or result for another gauge does not by itself authorize the BPI mark.
OK compost INDUSTRIAL certificate check
If this route is specified, verify the current TÜV AUSTRIA certificate number, holder, product family, maximum gauge, colour, print coverage, validity and mark-use rules. Confirm local industrial-composting acceptance separately.
OK compost HOME certificate check
Home compostability is a separate route and must not be inferred from EN 13432, ASTM D6400 or industrial certification. Claim it only when a current certificate covers the exact 15–25 μm construction, formulation, tint, additives and printing.

Use, handling & storage notes
ES-SW-04 is not a universal drop-in replacement for every LLDPE machine film or pallet. Final results depend on formulation, gauge, width, core, cling system, film condition, wrapper carriage, settings, overlap, wrap pattern, load geometry, edges, temperature, storage and journey. Protect sharp, abrasive, hot or protruding areas and qualify representative loads. Do not publish fixed 200% pre-stretch, 28 MPa tensile, 100 g dart drop, 80% application coverage, −25°C flexibility, adoption volume, price premium, degradation time, carbon reduction or guaranteed replacement language without current construction-specific evidence. Compostability wording does not imply litter, soil, marine or landfill degradation and does not guarantee local acceptance.

Product questions
Before your
first order
What does the 50:50 PLA+PBAT description mean?
It is the reference formulation ratio for ES-SW-04, not proof that every custom colour, additive or production lot is identical or certified. Confirm the final recipe, tolerances and finished-product evidence in the approved specification.
Will ES-SW-04 run on our automatic stretch wrapper?
It is designed as a machine-grade candidate, but compatibility is equipment-specific. Share the wrapper model, carriage type, core, film path, line speed, current film and settings, then complete a controlled production trial.
How do we choose between 15 and 25 microns?
Compare candidate gauges on the actual load using the same conditioning, wrapper, wrap pattern and journey. The right gauge is the lightest construction that meets agreed containment, tear, tail, damage and handling criteria with an appropriate process margin.
Can it replace LLDPE stretch film one for one?
Do not assume a drop-in substitution or a fixed pre-stretch percentage. PLA+PBAT film can differ in stretch window, tear response, cling, storage sensitivity and optimum settings. Benchmark the current film per pallet and qualify the proposed roll before scale-up.
