LDPE Stretch film packaging rolls, also known as stretch wrap, are transparent plastic wrap that is applied by hand or machine to contain boxes and other items on pallets. During the process of shipping, storing, and distributing, it serves as a safety net for pallets. Stretch wrap typically comes in a variety of lengths, widths, colors, gauges, and types depending on the need and is clear to allow for easy identification, scanning, and security.
Stretch film comes in a variety of gauges and offers opaque and ultraviolet (UV) protection through special coating options. Stretch film producers produce some varieties that are better suited for automated packaging than manual ones. The majority of stretch film varieties can be fully recycled in places that also process soft plastics.
Manual or Automated Application?
LDPE Stretch film packaging rolls can be put on manually (hand film) or mechanically (machine film). Hand film typically has a narrower width so that it can be held manually and stretched around a pallet. When hand film is pre-stretched, the wrap has already reached its maximum stretch as it is wound around the roll. It would not need to be extended further in order to wrap the pallet. Because there is less stretch film on each roll, it cannot hold as much as regular, un-stretched wrap, even though it necessitates less effort from the person wrapping the pallet with it.
To fit a machine wrapper, which can automatically wrap different pallet loads and sizes in a fraction of the time as a manual application, machine film typically runs at a wider width. Some machine wrappers require the pallet to sit on a platform that spins while the stretch film is applied, while others have an "arm" that revolves around the pallet.
Applications and Benefits of various LDPE Stretch Film Packaging Roll Types
Hand-wrapped stretch films
Stretch hand-wrap films made of PE and other performance polymers provide the following benefits:
- Savings on raw materials, a decline in film inventory, reduced transportation expenses, and more environmentally friendly flexible film solutions
- A combination of tenacity and toughness for more secure loads
- Optical characteristics to improve packaging aesthetics and make it simpler to read bar codes
Automatic stretch wrap
Performance PE polymer-made stretch machine wrap offers the following benefits:
- Better load stability and more sustainable film solution due to increased toughness at lower gauge
- Improved dart impact, puncture, and tear resistance for more effective wrapping
- Downsizing results in a significant reduction in unit cost
- Enhanced film optics for straightforward bar code reading
Power prestretch films
Performance PE polymer-based power prestretch films are especially created to provide:
- Maximum/optimal holding force, toughness, and product protection for safer transportation
- Improved tear propagation and puncture resistance for more dependable wrapping operation and load stability
- Improved processing to boost output at rapid line speeds
- The possibility of film downgauging and increased ultimate stretch provide a sustainable flexible film solution.
Families of LDPE Stretch Film
Usually, stretch film is divided into two families: Blown or Cast Film
Stretch film can also be "blown" or "cast." These phrases describe the process used to create the stretch film. The price and usability of the film are significantly impacted by these differences. Stretch film can still be produced using blown film, but cast film is a more efficient and contemporary alternative. The cast is completely transparent, stretches with ease, and does not adhere to the hands. It does not return to its original size as quickly after stretching, and if it is overstretched, it can break easily. Unlike cast, blown has a higher holding power and a higher resistance to tearing or breaking, but is less clear and tacky to the touch. Depending on the user's needs for pallet wrapping, one or the other may be used.
Difference between LDPE stretch Film and Shrink Film
All the above information was regarding LDPE stretch film packaging rolls. But let us now briefly discuss the shrink film.
We have noticed that people often interchangeably use shrink and stretch films. But the fact is that they are both very different from each other. Not to mention, even their names imply the same. In order to clarify things for our readers, let us have a brief discussion about shrink film.
Shrink Film Packaging
You might have come across tight plastic wrapped around bundles of different goods such as water bottles, soda cans, sporting goods, and medications. Ever wondered what exactly it is? Well, yes! That tight plastic / packaging is known as the shrink film / shrink film packaging. The plastic film used to package a product literally shrinks, giving rise to the name of this film. You can purchase a 25-pack of water bottles rather than 25 separate bottles of water because it enables bundles of products to be sold in a single package. Increased security and protection are also made possible by shrink film because it is easy to detect tampering with a package that has been shrink-wrapped. For increased consumer awareness, it can be printed and branded.
