Stretch Wrap FAQs
What is the difference between stretch wrap and shrink wrap?
Shrink wrap is commonly used for packaging products and shrinks to form around the shape of the products that have been packed. Whereas stretch wrap is typically used to wrap and stretch around pallets of pre-packaged products or goods. Shrink wrap does not stretch in any way.
What is the difference between stretch film and cling film?
The difference between the two wraps is that stretch film can be applied to the packaging of food, whereas cling film can be directly applied to the food. Stretch film also has much stronger tear and puncture resistance than cling film.
Hand-Stretched Film vs. Machine-Stretched Film: Which Is Best for Your Business?
With numerous stretch film options available, choosing the right one for your business can be challenging. The two primary types compared are hand-stretched film and machine-stretched film. Understanding their differences is crucial before making a decision.
Hand-stretched films are designed for manual application to products or pallets. They are not compatible with stretch film machines and are ideal for smaller businesses or warehouses wrapping fewer than 20 pallets daily.
Machine-stretched film is engineered for use with stretch wrapper machines. This method is more efficient, effective, and cost-effective than manual wrapping, making it suitable for larger businesses handling high volumes of products and pallets.
In summary, hand-stretched films benefit smaller businesses, as they require no expensive machinery and can be applied manually. Conversely, larger businesses with higher output rely on machine-stretched film and equipment to meet demand and maintain efficient warehouse operations.
Cast Film
Our collection of cast films offers a wide range of benefits. Cast stretch films provide an extremely quiet application, high tear- and puncture-resistant properties, and come in different thicknesses. They also provide excellent protection against moisture. We stock clear and colored cast films for bundling, hand, and machine applications.
Blown Film
Premium blown film is perfect for heavy and irregular loads and for products with sharp edges, thanks to its high puncture and tear resistance. The films also feature a strong tack on the inside to ensure the protection and safety of products during shipping or movement. Pre-stretched blown films have been carefully stretched with a proprietary orientation process that produces stronger films at thinner gauges. These super lightweight rolls are perfect packaging solutions as they are incredibly easy to handle and reduce operator fatigue. Blown machine film is ideal for warehouse applications.
