Stretch Wrap

What is stretch wrap?

Stretch wrap, also known as packaging film, is a key part of packaging supplies used to secure goods tightly on a pallet during transportation. It prevents movement, protects products from dust, moisture, and other environmental factors, and ensures consignments arrive in excellent condition.

Which stretch wrap should you choose: hand stretch or machine stretch?

The selection between hand stretch films and machine stretch films depends on your operational requirements:

⦁ Hand stretch wrap: Ideal for businesses with lower volume needs or those wrapping irregularly shaped loads. These films are manually applied, offering flexibility and control during application.
⦁ Machine stretch wrap: Suited for high-volume operations, these films are applied using automated machinery, ensuring consistent tension and coverage, thereby enhancing efficiency and reducing labour costs.

How do pallet films and shrink wraps enhance load security?

Beyond stretch wrap, Antalis provides:

⦁ Pallet film: These include pallet cover films and pallet stabilising bands that shield goods from moisture, dirt, and damage, ensuring stability during transit.
⦁ Shrink wrap: Applied using heat, PVC shrink film conforms tightly to the product's shape, offering robust protection and tamper evidence.
