Advances in plastic resin technology made it possible to make a film that would stretch by about 300%, but not break. Stretch film when wrapped around boxes or bags on a pallet exerts a holding force that binds the palletized items together. This unique property of stretch wrap films makes it an ideal material for the unitization of pallet loads.
Stretch wrapping can be automated with high-speed wrapping machines for load ranges upto 3000 kgs. For lower loads, the film can be applied manually using standard applicators.
Stretch film is very effective during storage & transportation of goods. It is has gained popularity through the years and today remains the most preferred method of load unitization. Stretch wrapping has following unique advantages:
| Better holding of loads together |
| Compared to other methods of wrapping, strapping or gluing, stretch wrapping is the most efficient method of keeping multiple packages together. During transportation, pallets are subjected to severe vibration, but stretch film has the 'elastic' property needed to withstand these forces and keep loads together. Stretch wrapped products will be free of damages when they are delivered to your customers. |
| Products remain dust-free and dry during storage |
