Return on investment for Stretch film

Stretch film delivers quantifiable operational benefits by reducing the need for rewrapping, enhancing consistency in application, and enabling controlled use of material per pallet. The stated 600% lateral stretch and 300% longitudinal stretch allow users to achieve the necessary containment force with fewer wraps than films with lower stretch properties, helping to reduce usage across regular pallet volumes. The specified cohesion ratio (80% internal, 20% external) ensures secure bonding between layers while minimising unwanted adhesion between separate pallets, which improves handling efficiency in storage and loading areas. The standard supply of 120 rolls per pallet assists with procurement planning, reduces the frequency of restocking, and helps prevent downtime due to lack of consumables. Reduced disruption, fewer damaged consignments, and less time spent rewrapping all contribute to a reliable packaging process and a lower overall cost per unit handled in business operations.

Main Features and Advantages of Stretch film

The film is clear, allowing labels, barcodes, and consignment marks to remain visible for scanning, tracking, and inspection without removing the wrap. Mechanical ratings of 26 MPa longitudinal and 18 MPa lateral tear strength help maintain load security during wrapping and routine handling. Compatibility is ensured by a cardboard core with a 76 mm diameter, suitable for standard hand dispensers used in warehouses. The pallet arrangement of 120 rolls supports bulk purchasing and reduces administrative workload for repeat procurement, helping to maintain uninterrupted packaging operations.

Instructions for Using Stretch Film

1. Stretch film roll installation: place the roll onto a suitable hand dispenser with a 76 mm core, ensuring it rotates freely.
2. Preparing the load: arrange cartons or items securely on the pallet, checking that the base is steady before starting to wrap.
3. Securing the start: fasten the film to the pallet base and wrap tightly around 2–3 times to form a firm starting layer.
4. Wrapping process: move around the pallet, overlapping the film evenly and keeping steady tension to make full use of the film’s stretch properties.
5. Corner protection: reinforce the corners and any uneven areas of the pallet with extra layers as needed to help prevent movement.
6. Securing the top: wrap the upper part of the load to keep the top layer stable and avoid cartons shifting during handling.
7. Completing the wrap: cut the film neatly and press the end firmly onto the wrapped load to secure it in place.
