Stretch film is a plastic film made from linear low-density polyethylene(LLDPE) and is used to secure, bundle, and stabilize products. During application, the film is pulled and stretched around products to create tightly secured loads. Stretch film comes in a variety of widths, thicknesses, and colors for different applications. The tight, conforming look of stretch film leads it to be frequently confused with heat shrink wrap. However, the differences are significant: Heat shrink wrap requires a source of heat, is rarely used in pallet wrapping, and is not waterproof. Heat shrink wrap also tends to be more transparent and, notably, can extend shelf life.
The name stretch film is derived from the film characteristics. Some films can stretch up to 700 % during application. The more stretch during the application, the less film used. The less film used equals less cost and environmental impact.
Stretch film has numerous benefits, including corrosion and puncture resistance, simplified load containment, and a variety of equipment types to meet every need. An in-house stretch wrap machine will maintain an even and consistent stretch rate during film application. The increase and consistency in stretch rates.
