Shipping pallets with sensitive product, confidential value, or prolonged sun exposure requires a film that seals, conceals, and protects without compromising load stability. This black hand stretch film—also called black stretch film or security pallet wrap—is manufactured by Fortemo from virgin LLDPE polyethylene with black pigment and UV additive, 80 gauge (20 µm), designed for logistics that require discretion and light protection beyond conventional palletizing.

Key Benefits

  • Total opacity: the black pigment blocks any view of the pallet contents, an additional layer of security useful in consolidated shipments, export, and long transits where goods pass through several hands.
  • Light protection with UV additive: the film blocks direct solar radiation, extending the life of light-sensitive products (certain chemicals, electronics, packaged dry foods) during outdoor storage or transport.
  • High stretch capacity: the LLDPE formulation maintains holding force even on heterogeneous or irregular loads, without losing grip because of the color's opacity.
  • Cling onto itself with no residue: the inner face adheres to the film's own layer and not to the product, keeping the primary packaging intact when unwrapping.
  • Professional-grade virgin polyethylene: 20 µm on a 305 m roll with specific UV treatment, the standard format for hand dispensers in serial palletizing operations.

Typical Applications and Uses

  • Export shipments, inter-island transit, and load consolidation with sensitive value.
  • Storing pallets outdoors in covered yards, where sun and indirect light degrade sensitive products.
  • Differentiating batches by color in warehouses with multiple references under visual management.
  • Wrapping for moves and furniture relocations, where opacity prevents drag scratches and hides the product's commercial branding.

Quality and Durability

A cheap black film shows in two ways: poorly dispersed pigment leaves semi-transparent areas, and the lack of UV additive makes the roll turn brittle under the Caribbean sun within a few weeks. Fortemo controls pigment dispersion and the UV formulation in every batch, which is what separates a serious logistics film from one that fails at the first real exposure.

Also known as: Technical: black stretch film, black stretch wrap, opaque stretch film, black pallet wrap film, pigmented LLDPE stretch film, UV opaque film. In DR and Caribbean: papel chicle negro, plástico negro de embalar, plástico negro para paletizar, emplaye de seguridad, stretch negro. In other countries: black stretch wrap (USA), opaque pallet wrap (USA), vinipel negro (CO), emplaye negro (MX), wrap de seguridad (LATAM).
Why choose black over clear stretch film for general palletizing?

Black film has three clear advantages over clear film: content discretion (useful for consolidated shipments or items sensitive to opportunistic theft), light protection for UV-sensitive goods and better roll performance under prolonged sun thanks to the built-in UV additive. The trade-off is that you lose visual reading of the pallet (barcodes, quick content ID) and you have to label the pallet on the outside. For general logistics, clear film does the job just as well.

Does black film stain the product if the pallet sweats or condensation forms?

No. The polyethylene pigment is integrated into the bulk of the polymer, not applied on the surface like ink or a painted coat, so it does not transfer by contact, pressure, moisture or condensation. The film's inner side keeps cling against itself and never touches the product. That's the difference from poorly pigmented opaque films that can leave marks on light-colored boxes or textiles.

Does it withstand direct Caribbean sun for weeks without losing tension?

Yes, within the intended use range. The UV additive built into the formulation significantly slows degradation from solar radiation, which keeps the wrapped pallet intact for weeks outdoors — far longer than untreated clear film. For months of exposure under direct sun the film still works, but it's worth inspecting the pallet periodically, since no polyethylene is immune to UV radiation indefinitely.

What's the difference vs. a generic black film with the same nominal gauge?

The difference comes down to three points: the quality of the base polyethylene, pigment dispersion and the actual presence of the UV additive. A generic film advertises 20 µm and opacity but delivers uneven gauge, patches with poorly dispersed pigment (semi-transparent) and no verifiable UV additive. This roll uses virgin LLDPE polyethylene with mass-integrated pigment and a controlled UV formulation, which shows the first time a pallet holds up three weeks in the sun without going brittle.

Is it suitable for export pallets that go through customs inspection?

Worth keeping in mind: black film hides the contents, and many customs inspections require direct visual access to the pallet, which forces you to cut the film and re-wrap at the end. For exports to destinations with frequent visual inspection (regulated markets, random customs checks), it's usually better to go with clear film or reserve black only for products where opacity is critical. For inter-island or domestic transit without regular visual inspection, black works without restriction.
