Product Overview

Elastic pallet netting is knitted from 100 percent virgin MPE and stretches 15 to 50 percent, with the actual figure determined by the weight of the load. That is the important part of the specification. A light load does not draw the net out far, so the net stays near its resting size. A heavy load pulls it further, and the recovery force goes up with it.

The practical effect is a wrap that keeps working. A rigid net is set at the tension you applied and stays there, so when the load settles a few millimetres the net goes slack. An elastic net follows the load down and stays in contact, which is what keeps irregular stacks from opening up over a long road or sea leg.

Manual and automatic use are both available. Manual rolls run 500 m to 1000 m and automatic rolls run 3000 m to 4000 m, in widths of 30, 50 and 76 cm, on a 3 inch or 2 inch inner core to your request.

Key Benefits

The wrap stays tight as the load settles

Stretch of 15 to 50 percent means the net keeps pulling in when the pallet compresses in transit, instead of going slack the way a rigid net does.

Recovery force scales with the load

Stretch rate is determined by weight, so a heavier load draws the net further and gets more holding force from the same product.

Grips irregular and mixed stacks

The mesh conforms around uneven case edges and stepped layers rather than bridging across them.

Full open area for airflow

Like the standard grade, most of the covered surface is open mesh, so cooling and drying continue after wrapping.

Same three widths and both roll formats

30, 50 and 76 cm, manual rolls of 500 to 1000 m and automatic rolls of 3000 to 4000 m.

Who It Is For

Elastic MPE netting is for loads that are not uniform, or that change shape between the wrapper and the delivery bay.

  • Fruit and vegetable operations shipping mixed crate sizes on one pallet
  • Horticulture and nursery shipments where plant heights vary across the layer
  • Distributors building mixed pallets for retail delivery
  • Long road and sea legs where vibration settles the load
  • Sites shipping soft or compressible goods that lose height in transit
  • Anyone whose current wrap arrives loose even though it was tight at dispatch

Problems It Solves

These are the failures an elastic net is bought to fix.

  • Wraps that are tight at dispatch and slack on arrival
  • Loads leaning or opening at a corner after a long transport leg
  • Mixed case sizes that a rigid wrap bridges over instead of holding
  • Compressible goods that lose height and leave the wrap hanging
  • Trapped moisture on goods that also need containment
  • Too much material used trying to hold an irregular load with extra passes

Application Scenarios

Mixed pallets for retail delivery

Different case sizes in one stack, where the net has to grip each step rather than bridge across the tallest carton.

Long sea freight legs

Weeks of vibration settle a load. An elastic net follows it down and keeps contact.

Compressible goods

Soft packs and sacks that lose height under their own weight, leaving a rigid wrap slack.

Nursery and plant shipments

Uneven heights across the layer, with air and light still needed through the mesh.

Warm produce on the move

Where containment must not come at the cost of the airflow the cooling process depends on.

Machine wrapping at volume

Automatic rolls of 3000 m to 4000 m for lines that cannot stop for frequent changes.

Technical Features

The stretch rate is the specification that separates this net from the standard grade, and it is worth reading carefully.

  • Stretch rate of 15 to 50 percent, determined by weight. The net does not have one fixed elongation. How far it draws out depends on how heavy the load is, so the same roll behaves differently on a light pallet and a heavy one.
  • 100 percent virgin MPE is what provides the recovery. It returns toward its resting size after being drawn out, unlike HDPE which holds where it is put.
  • Widths of 30, 50 and 76 cm for banding, general containment and tall loads.
  • 3 inch or 2 inch inner core to match your wrapper mandrel.
  • Manual rolls of 500 m to 1000 m and automatic rolls of 3000 m to 4000 m.
  • Knitted mesh so a cut filament does not run the way a tear runs through a film web.

Materials

Elastic pallet netting is knitted from 100 percent virgin MPE. Metallocene polyethylene is chosen for its recovery behaviour, which is what allows the net to be drawn out over a load and then pull back around it.

The comparison to make is with the standard HDPE grade. HDPE stays where you put it, MPE keeps pulling. If your loads are uniform and stable, HDPE is usually enough. If they are mixed, compressible or travelling a long way, the elastic grade is what stops the wrap going slack.

Manufacturing Process

Pallet netting is knitted rather than extruded as a sheet. Filaments are drawn from the resin and knitted into a mesh with a repeating diamond structure, which is what allows the net to open under tension and close around a load without tearing from a single point.

The knitted web is then wound to the metre length ordered onto a 3 inch or 2 inch core, labelled and packed for export from our factory in Ruian, close to Wenzhou airport and Ningbo port.

Quality Control

Netting is checked on the machine and on the roll. Knitting is inspected for dropped or broken filaments across the web, edge selvedges are checked so the net does not unravel when it is cut, and finished rolls are checked for winding tension and metre length before they are labelled.

On arrival, unwind about a metre and pull the mesh across the width by hand. The net should open evenly with no ladder running from a single broken filament. Confirm the core diameter matches your wrapper mandrel before the roll goes on the machine.

Certifications

Jiamei has not published certificate scans on this website, so nothing is claimed here that we cannot show you. Before you place an order tell us the destination market and the goods the pallet carries, and our sales team will send the documentation that applies to that shipment, together with the material declaration for the resin used in your production run.

If your quality system needs a specific document to open a supplier file, ask for it during sampling rather than after shipment so the paperwork travels with the first order.

Customisation Options

Pallet netting can be customised to your request. Width, roll length and core diameter are the three specifications that need to match your wrapper and your load.

  • Widths of 30 cm, 50 cm and 76 cm as standard
  • Inner core diameter of 3 inch or 2 inch to your request
  • Manual rolls of 500 m to 1000 m for hand application
  • Automatic rolls of 3000 m to 4000 m for machine application
  • Roll and carton configuration for your container loading plan

Tell us the wrapper model and the pallet dimensions and we will confirm the format that runs on your line.

Comparison With Other Products

Elastic MPE against standard HDPEMPE stretches 15 to 50 percent depending on load weight and recovers around the goods. HDPE holds its shape at the tension applied. Choose MPE for irregular or settling loads, HDPE for regular loads.
Elastic netting against ventilated filmNetting gives a continuous open mesh and grips irregular case edges. Film gives a smoother surface, more dust protection and a tighter wrap on uniform cases.
Elastic netting against extra film passesAdding passes of film to hold an irregular load uses more material for a wrap that still bridges across the steps. An elastic net conforms instead.
Manual rolls against automatic rollsManual rolls run 500 m to 1000 m, automatic rolls run 3000 m to 4000 m. Both are available in 30, 50 and 76 cm.

Use Guide

An elastic net wants to be applied with steady tension and allowed to recover, not pulled to its limit.

  1. Fit the roll on the mandrel and check the core diameter matches, 3 inch or 2 inch as ordered.
  2. Anchor the net to the pallet base, then make one or two base wraps so the net is tied to the pallet and not only to the goods.
  3. Climb the load with the net opening across the face. The mesh should sit flat rather than roped, unless you are deliberately roping for a top band.
  4. Overlap each pass so no gap in the mesh sits over a case edge that could push out.
  5. Finish at the base and cut. Tie or tuck the tail so it cannot unravel in transit.

If the load is tall and light, add a rope band across the top corners rather than adding more full width passes. It uses less net for the same corner hold.

Because the stretch rate is determined by weight, a light pallet will not draw the net out as far as a heavy one. If a light load looks under wrapped, add a pass rather than pulling harder. If a heavy load is drawing the net close to its limit, move up a width so the same force is spread over more mesh.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions buyers ask before ordering Pallet Netting Elastic.

What does a stretch rate of 15 to 50 percent mean

It is a range rather than a single figure because the stretch is determined by the weight of the load. A light pallet draws the net out toward the low end of the range and a heavy pallet toward the high end.

What is MPE and why is it used here

MPE is metallocene polyethylene. It is used for the elastic grade because it recovers after being drawn out, which is what lets the net pull back in around the load and stay in contact as the pallet settles.

When should I choose elastic instead of standard netting

Choose elastic for mixed case sizes, compressible goods, tall or irregular stacks, and long transport legs where the load settles. Choose standard HDPE for uniform, stable loads where you simply want the wrap to stay where you set it.

What widths and roll lengths are available

Widths of 30, 50 and 76 cm. Manual rolls of 500 m to 1000 m and automatic rolls of 3000 m to 4000 m. Manual and automatic use are both available.

What core diameter is supplied

3 inch or 2 inch inner core diameter, to your request. Tell us your wrapper mandrel and we will match it.

Does the net still let air through

Yes. It is a knitted open mesh, so most of the covered surface is open. Airflow through the pallet is very close to the standard grade.

Can it be used on a machine wrapper

Yes. Manual and automatic use are both available, with automatic rolls running 3000 m to 4000 m.

Can the netting be customised

Yes. Pallet nets can be customised to your request, including width, roll length and core diameter.
