Stretch Film

Stretch film, also known as stretch or pallet wrap, is one of the most popular unitization methods in today’s marketplace for securing boxes or bags of any product to a pallet for safe shipment. 

Stretch Film Applications

Stretch film provides an excellent alternative to strapping, corrugated materials, polybags and similar unitization methods. It can also be used for unitizing unusually sized, non-palletized goods such as:

  • Building materials
  • Carpet
  • Rolled goods
  • Steel beams
  • Piping
  • Wood products
  • Buckets of paint or other liquids
  • Wire reels
  • Beverages
  • Electronics
  • Mulch
  • Tires
  • Furniture
  • Feed and seed
  • Medical items

Stretch film provides product protection, maximizing unitization and minimum packaging costs per load. Virtually any product can be stretch-wrapped given the right equipment and films.

The Benefits of Premium Stretch Film for Your Equipment

The advantages of using one of our premium stretch films in your equipment are extensive. These films are designed to work well in stretch wrap machines, improving efficiency. Premium films are of better quality, so they will help prolong your equipment’s useful life and reduce downtime due to application issues caused by cheaper films.

Blown Film

Stretch film extruded by the blown process typically produces greater puncture resistance but has less aesthetic value than cast films. Blown films are also very loud as you unwind.

Cast Film

Stretch films extruded by cast typically have greater tear resistance, greater aesthetic values and are quiet as you unwind.
