Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): 1,000

If you’re wrapping beverage pallets (heavy loads, sharp corners, lots of vibration), here’s the straight answer:
MOQ for stretch wrap = 1,000 units.
Now let’s make sure you don’t order the wrong film—because beverage pallets will expose weak stretch wrap fast.
Why beverage pallets are brutal on stretch wrap
Beverage loads are usually:
-
heavy (densities are high)
-
tall (stacked high to maximize cube)
-
hard-edged (trays, cartons, corners)
-
vibration-prone in transit (loads “walk” on the pallet)
So film that works fine for light mixed cases can fail miserably on beverages.
That failure shows up as:
-
film tearing mid-wrap
-
punctures on corners
-
loose pallets that shift
-
extra wraps per pallet (hidden cost)
-
rewrap labor
-
damaged product / claims
The 5 stretch wrap specs you must confirm (before buying MOQ 1,000)
1) Hand wrap vs machine wrap
This changes everything.
-
Hand wrap needs controllable stretch and puncture resistance without relying on machine pre-stretch.
-
Machine wrap often performs best with high-performance film designed for consistent pre-stretch.
2) Film type (cast vs blown / standard vs high-performance)
-
High-performance films can reduce film use per pallet while improving containment.
-
Cheaper film often “saves” money only on the invoice—then costs more in waste and labor.
3) Gauge (thickness)
Too thin = tears.
Too thick = you overpay and wrap gets harder to apply.
The right gauge depends on:
-
pallet weight
-
corner sharpness
-
wrap pattern
-
machine settings (if machine wrap)
4) Containment requirement
Beverage pallets usually need higher containment because loads want to shift.
This can be solved by:
-
stronger film
-
better wrap pattern
-
corner/edge protection (so film stops getting cut)
5) Environment (cold storage or not)
Cold temps change film behavior. If pallets are chilled or stored cold, mention it.

Why MOQ 1,000 is normal for stretch wrap
Stretch wrap is a “burn item.” Warehouses go through it constantly.
MOQ exists because:
-
production runs are large
-
packaging/case quantities are standardized
-
freight economics are better at volume
-
consistent supply matters (running out mid-month is chaos)
And if you’re wrapping beverage pallets daily, 1,000 units can be a very reasonable replenishment cycle depending on roll counts and usage.
How to reduce total stretch wrap cost (not just buy cheap film)
Here’s the trick buyers miss:
Total cost = film used + labor time + rewraps + load damage.
So if you buy “cheap” film that tears:
-
operators wrap slower
-
they use more layers
-
rewraps increase
-
damage increases
Your “cheap” film becomes expensive.
Sometimes spending a little more per roll reduces overall cost because:
-
less film per pallet
-
fewer tears
-
faster wrapping
-
tighter loads
Bottom line
MOQ for stretch wrap for beverage pallets = 1,000 units.
