Stretch Wrap Film is a highly stretchable thermoplastic film made from linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) used for wrapping around products. It is elastic, has high clarity and heat seal-ability, and strong tear resistance. Stretch wrap films are most commonly used to wrap pallets tightly to ensure safe transportation. The stretch wrap films can come in a variety of thicknesses, widths, and different types of film. It is also used around items used for warehouse storage.
The two most popular types of stretch wrap are cast stretch wrap and blown stretch wrap. Cast stretch film is quiet when it unwinds from a machine, has excellent clarity, offers better tear resistance, and clings well around itself.
Blown stretch wrap offers better stretch capacity. Blown stretch wrap film is noisier when it unwinds but is more tear-resistant than cast stretch film and is also much more flexible, which leads to more productivity.
Pyramid Packaging offers either hand or machine application stretch wrap.
Machine Length Stretch Film
Machine length stretch film is applied in a consistent and efficient matter to pallet loads which helps protect and secure them during transit.
