What is Stretch Film?
Stretch film is a plastic film used to secure, bundle, and
stabilize products. Stretch film is made from linear low-density polyethylene.
When applying the film is to be pulled and stretched around products to obtain
tight and secured product loads. Stretch film comes in a variety of widths,
thicknesses, and colors.
We offer multiple varieties of stretch film to choose from
in a wide array of widths and thicknesses. All of our stretch wrap film is made
from virgin material ensuring the highest quality possible. Shop our easily
navigable sections:
*Hand Stretch Film- Most of our hand film comes with a
standard 3" core that will fit most any hand dispensers. Choose everything
from clear to colored and even anti static stretch wrap film.
*Extended Core Stretch Film- Offers built in handles that
are great for companies that need to wrap something on the go. The built in
handles are ideal for low volume stretch wrap applications.
*Bundling Stretch Film- Considered any film roll between 2-8
inches in width. Bundling film is a great alternative tape and plastic
strapping for bundling multiple products together.
*Machine Stretch Film- Our machine pallet stretch wrap is
offered in true standard gauged film as well as pre stretched and equivalent
film. All of our machine film can run on stretch wrap machines with up to a 300%
stretch.
*Vented Airflow Stretch Film- Ideal for allowing products
the ability to breathe. Vented stretch film is an 80 gauge stretch film with
die-cut holes allowing products to breathe when palletized. Ideal for allowing
wood to cure and moisture to escape from fully loaded pallets.
*Colored Stretch Film- We offer transparent and opaque
colored stretch film ideal for a variety of applications. Companies use
transparent stretch film to color code loads to make for easy identification
during shipping. Opaque film is often used to conceal load and protect
shipments from UV light.
True Gauged Stretch Film- For years, companies have used
"true gauged stretch film" a product that offers a great amount of
stretch, cling, and strength. Overtime this stretch wrap has become more
expensive because it is thicker and uses more petroleum based resins during the
manufacturing process. This increase in price has encouraged manufacturers to
find alternatives to keep costs lower.
The term for alternative pallet wrap is
"equivalent stretch film".
Equivalent Stretch Film- An affordable alternative to
"true gauged film". Equivalent films use a different resin mixture
along with multi-layering to produce a thinner, stronger product that uses less
petroleum base. We offer two equivalent hand films that offer a great hold,
good stretch, and one sided cling at an affordable price.
Our two equivalent
hand films are: Hybrid & Micron. The
main difference between the two are the number of layers and the resin
formulas. Hybrid rolls are thinner and made of more layers during the extrusion
process. Micron rolls are in between the true gauged film and the hybrid
stretch film thickness. It does not offer as many layers, but does have more
stretch than the hybrid film. It also offers better tear resistance.
