What Is Stretch Film?

 

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 stretchability of the film secures the products and ensures they are tightly bound.

 

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

Machine Stretch Films

 

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 spending, greater safety, and superior load containment. There are several kinds of machine stretch films: cast machine stretch film, blown machine film, and pre-stretched films.
