Stretch film, also known as stretch wrap or pallet wrap, is one of the most popular unitization materials on the market. Unitization is a process of bundling and securing several individual packages together, often on a pallet. This is done manually or using high-speed wrapping machines for better quality & speed.

The following outlines the benefits of stretch film over other unitization techniques.

• Less damage to product versus strapping
• Virtually eliminates load crushing by distributing the force of the film over the entire load, without the use of corner boards
• Can take a shock or vibration and still maintain the load in its original unitized configuration
• Material cost per pallet is less than shrink wrapping or strapping
• Equipment is less expensive than shrink wrapping, bagging or automatic strapping equipment
• Provides lower operating and maintenance costs
• Provides a large energy saving over shrink wrapping
• May be produced tinted or opaque for product identification or pilferage prevention

Safe and effective delivery of goods from the factory or warehouse to a customer or distributor involves several challenges: Protection from rain, sun and dust, unitization of loads for easier handling and lower packaging cost per load. Stretch wrap films effectively deals with these challenges besides reducing total cost of ownership through lower upfront investments & running expenses.
