Wrap That Does More Than Hold
Coloured Stretch Film is the same LLDPE pallet wrap as our clear grades, pigmented through the melt so the colour is uniform across the web and does not rub, flake or transfer onto the goods.
Colour is specified for three reasons. Opaque black and white conceal the contents of a pallet, which deters opportunistic theft in transit and at open cross-dock points. Tinted grades let a warehouse sort at a glance — one colour per customer, per route, per production date or per quality-hold status, readable across the floor without a scanner. And a consistent house colour makes your pallets identifiable on a shared trailer or in a third-party warehouse.
White also reflects heat, which helps under open-sided storage; black gives the best concealment. Both are available in hand and machine grades, so switching to colour does not mean changing how you wrap.

Key Features
Full colour range
Black, white, blue, green and red as standard; bespoke tints matched to order volume.
Load security through opacity
Opaque grades hide the contents of a pallet, removing the invitation to opportunistic pilferage.
Colour-coded stock control
One colour per route, customer, batch or hold status — sortable across a warehouse without scanning.
Uniform melt pigmentation
Colour runs through the film, not over it, so nothing rubs off onto cartons or product.
Excellent load stability
Identical containment performance to the clear grades — colour costs you nothing in holding force.
High puncture resistance
Same multi-layer construction, so pigmented film resists corner blow-outs just as well.
UV resistant options
White reflects heat under open storage; UV-stabilised pigmented grades available for yard use.
Recyclable material
Single-polymer polyethylene, recyclable through standard PE film streams.
Available Colours
Every grade in the stretch film range is available pigmented. Colour is added through the melt rather than coated on the surface, so it runs uniformly through the film and will never rub or transfer onto your goods.
Standard colours are produced routinely and carry the normal minimum order. Colours marked to order, and any bespoke tint, need a dedicated production run — the minimum is higher and the shade is matched against a sample before we schedule it. Opacity, gauge and stretch performance are held level with the clear grade in every colour.
Built To Your Specification
Colour combines with the rest of the range’s options. The most common request is a UV-stabilised black or white for pallets that are both concealed and stored outdoors.

Applications
Performance Characteristics
Pigment changes what the film hides, not how it holds. These are the properties to compare, and the two that colour genuinely affects are flagged.
Stretchability
Matches clear gradePigment loading is set so elongation stays level with the equivalent clear hand or machine film — you keep your yield per roll.
Load retention
HighResidual containment force hours after wrapping, unchanged by pigmentation.
Cling performance
One- or two-sideTack between layers is formulated independently of colour, so a black film clings like a clear one.
Tear resistance
HighResistance to edge-nick propagation, held level with the clear grades.
Puncture resistance
HighImpact energy absorbed at corners and protrusions, unaffected by colour.
Film memory
Balanced to gradeElastic recovery set by grade — hand grades tuned softer, machine grades tuned tighter.
Optical clarity
Opaque to tintedThe one property colour deliberately trades away. Black and white are fully opaque; tints stay translucent enough to read a large label through.
Colour consistency
Batch-matchedShade is matched batch to batch, so a colour-coded system stays readable as stock rotates.
Performance values are typical for the standard grade and vary with gauge, wrapping method and load profile. Ask for the test report covering your specification.
Equipment Compatibility
Coloured film is produced to either a hand or a machine specification. Tell us which you run and we supply the matching grade in your colour.
