Product Overview

Pallet netting is knitted rather than cast as a sheet, so most of what covers the pallet is open space. That is the whole reason to use it. Where a perforated film gives you thirteen holes in a row, a net gives you a continuous open mesh, and air moves through the load almost as if it were not wrapped at all.

The standard grade is made from 100 percent virgin HDPE. HDPE holds its shape under tension rather than springing back, so the net stays where you put it and resists cutting into corners. It is the grade to use when the job is to contain a load and keep it ventilated, rather than to squeeze it.

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

Maximum open area on the pallet

An open knitted mesh leaves far more of the load exposed to moving air than any perforated film can, which matters most on warm or wet goods.

Holds its shape under tension

HDPE does not recover the way an elastic net does. Once the net is applied it stays at the tension you set, which suits regular loads and stacked crates.

Three widths for different load heights

30 cm for banding and top holds, 50 cm for general containment, 76 cm for covering a tall load in fewer passes.

Very long automatic rolls

Rolls of 3000 m to 4000 m for machine application mean the wrapper runs a long time between changes.

Fits the wrapper you have

3 inch or 2 inch inner core diameter to your request, so the roll goes on your existing mandrel.

Less plastic than a full film wrap

A net puts a fraction of the material on the pallet that a solid film does, because most of the covered area is nothing at all.

Who It Is For

Standard HDPE netting suits loads where the priority is airflow and containment rather than a sealed surface.

  • Fruit and vegetable packers moving crates and bins that must keep cooling
  • Horticulture and nursery operations shipping live plants that need air and light
  • Breweries and beverage plants handling warm or wet packs
  • Distribution operations wrapping tall stacks of open crates
  • Sites that wrap by hand as well as on a machine, since both roll formats exist
  • Buyers reducing packaging weight per pallet

Problems It Solves

Netting is usually specified after a film wrap has failed at one of these points.

  • Goods arriving warm because the wrap stopped the cooling process
  • Condensation and mould on produce that was sealed before it had dried
  • Live plants damaged by being enclosed in a solid film for days
  • Open crates and bins that cannot be wrapped tightly without crushing
  • Too much plastic used per pallet on loads that only needed containment
  • Loads that need to be inspected or counted without unwrapping

Application Scenarios

Field heat removal

Produce wrapped before or during cooling, where the net barely interferes with the airflow the cooler is designed around.

Live plant and nursery shipments

Plants that need air and light in transit and cannot be enclosed in a sealed film for a multi day journey.

Open crates and bins

Stacked crates that need to be held together but would be crushed by a tightly applied film.

Warm packs off a filling line

Beverage and food packs that leave the line above ambient and need to shed heat on the pallet.

Loads that must stay visible

Where a receiving warehouse needs to count or inspect the load without cutting the wrap open.

Hand wrapping at dispatch

Manual rolls of 500 m to 1000 m for pallets wrapped away from the machine.

Technical Features

Netting is specified by material, width, core and roll length. Those four numbers decide whether it runs on your line and holds your load.

  • 100 percent virgin HDPE gives a net that holds its shape under tension instead of recovering. Recycled content would make knit consistency and filament strength unpredictable across a roll.
  • Widths of 30, 50 and 76 cm cover banding, general containment and tall loads in fewer passes.
  • 3 inch or 2 inch inner core to match your wrapper mandrel.
  • Manual rolls of 500 m to 1000 m for hand application.
  • Automatic rolls of 3000 m to 4000 m for machine application.
  • Knitted mesh structure so a cut filament does not run the length of the roll the way a tear runs through a film web.

Materials

Standard pallet netting is knitted from 100 percent virgin HDPE. High density polyethylene is stiffer than the MPE used in the elastic grade, so it holds tension rather than springing back around the load.

Use HDPE when the load is reasonably regular and you want it held in place. Use the elastic MPE grade when the load is irregular, when it settles in transit, or when you want the net to keep pulling in as the pallet moves.

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

Standard HDPE against elastic MPEHDPE holds its shape and stays at the tension you apply. MPE stretches 15 to 50 percent depending on weight and recovers around the load. Choose HDPE for regular loads, MPE for irregular or settling loads.
Netting against ventilated stretch filmNetting has far more open area and is better on very warm, wet or irregular loads. Film gives a smoother surface, more protection from dust and handling, and a tighter wrap on regular case loads.
Netting against solid stretch filmA solid film seals the pallet completely. Netting is the opposite approach, containment with almost no barrier, for goods that must not be sealed.
Manual rolls against automatic rollsManual rolls run 500 m to 1000 m for hand application. Automatic rolls run 3000 m to 4000 m for machine application. Both are available in all three widths.

Comparison based on the published specification for each Jiamei grade. Ask for samples of both nets if you want to test them on your own load.

Use Guide

Netting is applied differently from film, because the mesh has to sit flat to do its job.

  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.

If you are switching from film to net, expect to use a different number of passes. A net at 76 cm covers a tall load in fewer wraps than a 500 mm film web, so start with fewer passes and add one at a time until the load holds through a fork lift turn.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions buyers ask before ordering Pallet Netting Standard.

What is the netting made from

100 percent virgin HDPE. Virgin resin is specified because knit consistency and filament strength across a long roll are what keep the net from laddering under tension.

What widths are available

30 cm, 50 cm and 76 cm. Narrow widths suit banding and top holds, the widest covers a tall load in fewer passes.

What core diameter do the rolls have

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

How long are the rolls

Manual rolls run 500 m to 1000 m and automatic rolls run 3000 m to 4000 m. Manual and automatic use are both available.

Should I choose standard or elastic netting

Standard HDPE holds its shape at the tension you apply, which suits regular loads. Elastic MPE stretches 15 to 50 percent depending on load weight and recovers around the goods, which suits irregular loads and loads that settle in transit.

Can netting replace stretch film completely

It depends on the load. Netting is better where airflow matters most and where the goods are irregular. Film is better where you want a smoother surface, dust protection and a tight wrap on regular cases. Many sites use both for different products.

Can the netting be customised

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

Does netting hold a load as well as film

For irregular and open loads it often holds better, because the mesh grips case edges instead of sliding across them. For heavy regular loads that need high containment force, look at the 25 micron JMSH01 film.
