Stretch film—also known as stretch wrap—is a highly stretchable plastic film made from linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). It's commonly used to secure, bundle, and protect products during storage or transportation. The film is wrapped around items and clings tightly due to its elastic recovery, keeping them stable and protected from dust, moisture, and shifting.
Hand Stretch Film – Applied manually, ideal for smaller operations.
Machine Stretch Film – Applied by machines, suitable for high-volume wrapping.
Pre-Stretched Film – Already stretched during production, easier to use and saves labor.
Color Stretch Film – Provides product concealment or identification.
UV Stretch Film – UV-resistant for outdoor storage.
