Stretch Film

 

 

Stretch wrap or stretch film is highly stretchable plastic film that is wrapped around items. The elastic recovery keeps the items tightly bound. In contrast, shrink wrap is applied loosely around an item and shrinks tightly with heat. It is frequently used to unitize pallet loads but also may be used for bundling smaller items.

 

Benefits:

 

• Increased Product Protection – wrapping your loads with stretch film will protect them from environmental elements such as dirt, dust, and moisture, keeping your product clean and dry, but still completely visible. UVI stretch films can protect UV rays, when storing them outdoors.

 

• Reduced Product Damage / Increased Load Stability – allows you to securely wrap your product to create a more stable load that has less chance of shifting while being transported or moved around in your warehouse by forklift, thus reducing product damage.

 

• Improved Shipping & Handling Efficiencies

 

• Increased Stack Height – stretch film, used in conjunction with angle boards allows you to stack your load higher on pallets to maximize your cube space when storing or shipping your product.

 

• Increased Productivity – allows you to quickly and easily wrap your loads to secure them, increasing your worker productivity, allowing them to get more work done in a day.

 

• Flexibility – allows you to stabilize hard to stack or odd shaped loads that cannot be stacked in a nea.
