Pallet Stretch Film

Pallet stretch film is a type of packaging material generally used to secure, protect and transport goods on pallets. This film is particularly widely used in the logistics and warehousing sectors.

Pallet stretch film is usually made from polyethylene and has a transparent, flexible structure. It is wrapped around the pallet to secure the products placed on it. This process ensures that the products remain in place and prevents them from being damaged during transport and storage. Stretch film also protects the products from moisture, dust and external factors, thereby ensuring a more secure transport process.

Pallet stretch film is usually wrapped around the pallet either by hand or using a machine. Whilst stretch film applied by hand is wrapped around the pallet and stretched manually, stretch film applied using a machine can be wrapped around the pallet more quickly and evenly.

General Features

• Material: It is generally manufactured from plastics such as multi-layer polyethylene. It can be made from various types of plastic, such as LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) or LLDPE (Linear Low-Density Polyethylene).
• Flexibility and Expandability: Stretch film has a flexible structure and can be stretched to expand. This property is used to tightly wrap and secure loads of various sizes.
• Thickness: The thickness of stretch film can vary depending on its properties. Standard thicknesses are generally measured in microns. They range from 12 to 35 microns, with 17 and 23 microns being the most commonly used thicknesses.
• Adhesiveness: It is usually self-adhesive. It is used to hold products together and secure loads placed on pallets. When choosing stretch film, the adhesive concentration affects its adhesiveness.
• Dimensions: Supplied in rolls and available in various lengths and widths. This feature offers flexibility for wrapping and packaging products of various sizes. It is wound onto a 50 cm wide cardboard core to the desired length.
• Areas of Use: It is used in a wide range of areas, such as the transport and protection of goods on pallets, storage, logistics processes and the packaging industry.
• Application: Can be used with manual or automatic wrapping machines. It can be wrapped manually by hand or used with automatic machines for high-volume packaging operations.

Areas of Application

• Transport and Logistics: Stretch film is frequently used to secure and protect pallets, boxes, crates and products. It provides protection during the transport of goods and ensures the stability of pallets.
• Storage and Preservation: Used during the storage of products. It ensures, in particular, that products stacked on pallets remain together and are protected.
• Packaging Industry: Used for the packaging and protection of products. It is a packaging material used to prevent damage to delicate products.
• Construction and Industrial Use: Stretch film is used to protect and transport building materials, pipes, metal parts and similar products. It is also the preferred choice for protecting and packaging industrial equipment.
• Retail and E-commerce: Used for dispatching products from shops or via e-commerce. It prevents products from being damaged and provides protection.
• Textile Industry: Stretch film is used for packaging and protecting garments. It ensures that products are stored hygienically and free from dust.
• Delicate and Fragile Items: Stretch film can be used to protect delicate and fragile items such as electronic goods and glassware.

With its wide range of applications and practical use, stretch film plays a key role in the safe transport and protection of products across many industries and sectors.
