Stop Comparing Roll Price. Calculate Cost Per Pallet.
Pallet wrap cost is not decided by roll price alone. It is decided by how much film is actually applied to each pallet, how the machine stretches it, how the load behaves and how many pallets the site wraps every week.
Use the calculator below to estimate your current cost per pallet and compare it against an Excelerate 12mu nano film benchmark.
Pallet Wrap Cost & Savings Calculator
Enter your current film and wrapping details. If you do not know your applied film weight, the calculator will estimate usage using load type, pallet type, load weight and current film thickness.
Your Current Setup
For the most accurate result, wrap a normal pallet, carefully remove the applied film and weigh it in grams. That gives the real film usage per pallet.
Estimated Result
This compares your current calculated cost per pallet against an Excelerate 12mu nano film benchmark of £40 per 16kg roll using 160g per pallet.
Why Roll Price Alone Is Misleading
A cheaper roll can still cost more per pallet if the film is heavier, stretches poorly, needs more revolutions or creates instability. The real commercial number is the cost to wrap the load.
Applied Grams Matter
The weight of film applied to each pallet usually tells the truth faster than roll price. Two films can have similar roll prices but completely different usage per load.
Machine Setup Changes Everything
Pre-stretch, tension, roller condition, carriage behaviour and wrap pattern all affect real film consumption and load containment.
Containment Still Comes First
The lowest cost pallet is useless if the load fails. Savings must be balanced against stability, product risk and transport performance.
What We Look At During A Film Saving Project
Excelerate does not treat pallet wrap as a commodity. Film performance depends on the load, the machine, the operator process and the containment requirement.
Want The Real Cost Per Pallet?
If the calculator shows a saving opportunity, the next step is to test film performance properly. Excelerate can review your current usage, machine setup, containment requirement and film specification to identify the real cost per pallet.
