When do I use blown vs. cast film?

What is the difference between cast and blown film?
Blown and cast films are typically made from similar LLDPE resins, but differ in their manufacturing processes. Blown film is cooled by air, forming a "bubble," while cast film is extruded onto cooled rollers.

What is blown film recommended for?
Blown film has greater strength both vertically and horizontally, making it superior in puncture resistance. Blown film is recommended for heavy, awkward loads or sharp loads.

What is cast film commonly used for?
Cast film is more commonly used than blown film as it provides superior clarity, which is ideal for labeling and bar code reading.
