How Has Stretch Wrapping Films Revolutionized Domestic and Industrial Packaging?

Stretch wrapping films or stretch wraps are plastic films that are highly elastic (stretchable) used to envelop around the items. These stretch films are easy to use and equally easy to store. You may not need any other agent like heat or resin to stick these films to any surface. The films like shrink wraps, saran wraps, plastic sheets, etc. needs the other agents like heat to stick, whereas the stretch films doesn’t. That is why; stretch films are preferred by both domestic and industrial users for the ease it comes with.

For the domestic use of Stretch Wrapping Films, the rolls are available which are handy. That means, you can simply pick up the roll of stretch films and start wrapping your item without any hassle. You don’t need any extra thing in wrapping your item. The stretch films are transparent and are used in the gift hampers packaging. Due to this, the artistic appeal of the hamper remains the same and at the same time the products are placed safely. This helps so much in the transit of the items.

For the industrial use of stretch films, the giant stretch film roll are mounted on the wrapping machines like Rotary Arm Stretch Wrapper, the stretch film is wrapped automatically to the pallets of the items stacked together. The best advantage of the giant stretch film rolls is that, you just need to mount the roll on the machine and everything will be done.

The stretch films have several advantages. When the products are packed on the pallets, the whole pallet stabilizes and forms a unit load. Such pallets are easy to handle in the logistics. Due to the full cover wrapping, the pallets and the products packed are protected from the dust and moisture. Packing the pallets with stretch films also facilitates resistance to tamper and package pilferage. 

There are also many types of wrappers available for the packaging; automatic wrappers, manual wrappers and semi-automatic wrappers. Mostly for the domestic and mid range purposes, manual packaging is undertaken. This is because the stretch films are also available in small handy roles. For the industrial packaging, semi-automatic wrappers are widely used because fully automated wrappers are little expensive.

The stretch material is made up from LLDPE; Linear low density polyethylene. LLDPE is made when ethylene and alpha-olefins co-polymerized. The hexane and octane of alpha olefins induces the enhanced stretch characteristics. These characteristics are particularly helpful in resistance to puncture and elongation break.
