Stretch film is a type of plastic film used for wrapping and securing products or packages. It is highly stretchable, which allows it to tightly cling to items, providing a secure hold during storage or transport. Stretch film is commonly used in the packaging and logistics industries for bundling products, securing pallets, and wrapping goods to prevent damage during handling.
There are two main types of stretch film:
- Hand Stretch Film: Designed for manual use, typically used by workers who wrap items by hand or with basic dispensers.
- Machine Stretch Film: Designed for use with automated packaging machines that apply the film at high speeds, often used in larger-scale packaging operations.
Key Features of Stretch Film:
- High Stretchability: Allows the film to be stretched by up to 300% or more, enabling a secure wrap with minimal material usage.
- Adhesive Properties: The film has a self-adhesive property, meaning it clings to itself without needing tape or other fasteners.
- Protection: It provides a protective layer against dust, dirt, moisture, and physical damage, helping to maintain the integrity of the packaged goods.
- Versatility: It can be used on a wide range of products, from boxes and cartons to irregularly shaped objects.
Stretch film is a cost-effective, efficient, and versatile packaging solution widely used across industries such as logistics, e-commerce, manufacturing, and retail.
