How much does a stretch wrap machine cost in Houston?
Typical Houston-area ranges for new machines: about $2,500–$10,000 (semi-automatic turntable), $10,000–$25,000 (rotary-arm), $12,000–$30,000 (automatic turntable), and $30,000–$90,000+ (fully automatic inline). We quote the best price in the market for each. Request a free same-day quote, or see our cost guide for detail.
Turntable vs. rotary-arm, which do I need?
A turntable wrapper spins the pallet on a rotating table and suits standard, stable loads. A rotary-arm wrapper keeps the pallet stationary and spins an arm around it, better for very heavy, very light, or unstable loads that shouldn't be rotated, and for higher throughput.
Do you sell stretch film refills too?
Yes, machine-grade and hand stretch film in the gauges and roll sizes your wrapper needs, delivered across Houston. One local source for both the machine and the film that keeps it running.
Which brands do you carry?
Field-proven machines including Cousins Packaging (Switch, Series 4000 Titan) and Orion Packaging (Flex), covering semi-automatic turntable, rotary-arm, automatic, and fully automatic inline configurations, all at the best prices in the market.

How fast can I get a quote?
Most quotes go out the same day. Share your load type and daily pallet volume and we'll recommend the right machine and quote you the best price in the market, with film to match.
What gauge of stretch film do I need?
It depends on load weight, edge sharpness, and whether you run a machine or hand-wrap. Lighter, stable loads do fine on thinner high-performance film; heavier or sharp-edged loads need a heavier gauge or a stronger blend. We'll spec it to your loads and machine.
Brands We Carry
What is Cousins Packaging known for?
Cousins Packaging is a long-established North American stretch wrap machine manufacturer known for durable, straightforward machines and strong powered pre-stretch that cuts film use per pallet. We carry Cousins models including the Switch semi-automatic turntable and the Series 4000 Titan rotary-arm wrapper.
What is the Cousins Switch stretch wrapper?
The Switch is Cousins Packaging's semi-automatic turntable wrapper, an affordable, reliable workhorse for standard, stable pallet loads. The operator loads the pallet and attaches the film, and the machine wraps it with consistent powered pre-stretch. It is a common first powered wrapper for growing operations.
What is the Cousins Series 4000 Titan?
The Series 4000 Titan is Cousins Packaging's rotary-arm wrapper. Because a powered arm carries the film around a stationary pallet, it handles very heavy, very light, or unstable loads that should not be spun, and supports higher throughput than a turntable.
What is Orion Packaging, and what is the Orion Flex?
Orion Packaging is one of the most established stretch wrapper manufacturers, with a broad line of turntable, rotary-arm, and automatic machines. The Flex is an Orion turntable wrapper suited to standard and busier operations. We carry Orion alongside Cousins so we can match the right machine to your loads.
Cousins or Orion, which brand should I choose?
Neither is universally better. Both are proven brands, and the right choice depends on your load type, throughput, floor space, and options rather than the badge. Tell us how you ship and we'll recommend the specific model that fits, at the best price in the market.
Do you supply film and support for Cousins and Orion machines?
Yes. We supply the correct machine-grade stretch film for your Cousins or Orion wrapper and help you get it running and reordered. One local Houston source for the machine, the film, and support.
