Stretch film

Stretch wrapping is one of the most common tools for unitizing products for transport. However, just because a pallet is wrapped and looks good to the naked eye, does not mean it is wrapped well, efficiently or most safely. When the proper stretch wrapping is negated, problems can arise during shipping. Depending on the severity of the problem, your business may end up with a bruised reputation and potential safety failures.

 

 

 Stretch wrap or stretch film is an extremely elastic plastic wrap that is stretched around various products (such as pallets of boxes) for shipping and transportation. The elastic recovery or stretch-ability of the film secures the products and ensures they are tightly bound.

It is often implemented in the unitizing of various products but can also be leveraged for packaging bundles of small objects. Stretch wrap sticks tightly to itself and is used in millions of companies across the world.

There are many different types of stretch film. Below you will find a list of each type. Beneath the list we will investigate each films capabilities, common uses and varied dynamic qualities. You might want to take notes here as there is a lot of information to digest.

Machine stretch film was created to be used by a stretch wrap machine. It has the upper hand over hand film in various ways including but not limited to: quicker and greater efficiency in packaging, lower material spend, greater safety and superior load containment. There are several kinds of machine stretch films: cast machine stretch film, blown machine film and pre-stretched film
