Fully Transparent Stretch Wrap Film is a thin, plastic film that holds products tightly together on pallets to reduce shifting during shipping. It can also protect products from moisture, dust and other environmental factors while in storage or transit. In addition, stretch wrap is a very versatile packaging product that can be used in conjunction with other materials like poly bags, duct tape and scotch tape to create bundles or boxes. It is available in a wide variety of thicknesses and widths to suit all packaging needs.
The type of stretch wrap you use will depend on a few important factors, including its ability to hold tightly, its cling strength, its memory and its durability. These characteristics are determined by the material’s makeup and production process. Stretch wrap can be made from a wide range of materials, including linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), polypropylene and ethyl acrylate. LLDPE is the most common material used in stretch wrap because it is inexpensive, durable and non-toxic. LLDPE is manufactured using linear polyethylene resins, which are synthetically derived from petroleum and natural gas.
Aside from its flexibility and durability, the thickness of a stretch wrap film determines how much it can be stretched. When a stretch wrap is stretched, it has a certain amount of "memory" that allows it to return to its original shape quickly and securely. The thickness of the stretch wrap also dictates its resistance to tearing and puncturing. The higher the tensile strength of a stretch wrap, the more resilient it will be.
In addition to these important properties, the optical characteristics of a stretch wrap are also important. These properties include its clarity, transparency and gloss. These characteristics can help you to distinguish your packaging from others in a warehouse, and can be used to simplify organization and reduce the risk of pilferage.
