In the following lines, we tell you more about this universal packaging material.
When and why to use stretch film?
The main function of the stretch film is to protect the objects from contamination, wetting and scratching during their transport and storage. It is very strong especially when you put several layers of it, and its flexibility and elasticity quite easily adapts it to objects of any shape. Another advantage of it is that it sticks tightly but does not leave marks on objects, and it is also convenient to store due to its compact size.
With stretch film, you can pack both small fragile items and products, as well as bulky ones with non-standard shapes, such as furniture and equipment, which do not fit in a box or do not need to be placed in one. And you can use the foil to additionally stabilize cartons and boxes by wrapping them with it, for example when palletizing them. You just need to choose the right size roll and estimate how many layers to repeat from the foil in each case.
How do foil types differ?
The first thing to consider when packing is whether the items you will be packing are small or bulky. With us, you will find rolls of various sizes, which are intended for the
packaging of objects of all sizes and shapes. Mini rolls, for example, are very convenient for smaller and delicate items such as lamps, decorations or appliances. That is why we have emphasized their varieties:
you can choose between three types of small rolls of different sizes - 10 cm, 12.5 cm and 25 cm wide, all 150 m long.
The other thing to consider is whether you need a fully transparent or more opaque film.
Opaque film is suitable if you want
to protect the products from sunlight, as well as if you prefer not to see the contents of the package. With us you can choose between white, black and blue opaque film.
The most common stretch film thickness is 23 microns, but we also offer a 17 micron version. At 23 microns per 1 kg, they correspond to 93 m (approximately, since there is elasticity), and at 17 microns per 1 kg, they are about 124 m. If thickness is not important to you, the 17 micron stretch film is more profitable, because by getting more meters of packaging material.
How to facilitate the placement of the stretch film?

spools and
handles, which
