Stretch Film

Stretch Film, also known as stretch wrap, is a plastic wrap used to wrap various products, including pallets of boxes, for shipping and transportation. The items are bound tightly and secured by the film’s elastic rebound or stretchability. Furthermore, it helps to prevent moisture, water, and dust from entering the product and drastically reduces the chance of tampering during storage and transit. It is a cost-effective packaging solution when compared to other alternatives. Humi Pak supplies high-quality, cost-effective Stretch Films with a high stretch percentage to meet quality market standards.

Here at Humi Pak, we supply Heavy Duty Plastic Stretch Wrap, our strongest material with a thickness of up to 120 Gauge (30 microns), and 3″ core stretch film. Industrial Stretch Film offers physical protection, including puncture resistance, especially for large volume requirements. Banding film, with its thickness, firmly secures products even under harsh transit circumstances.

Benefits

Stretch Films are made from LLDPE, an elastic-plastic wrap material commonly used to protect products during the packaging process for transportation and shipping. It sticks tightly to itself when applied to stretched-around products improving inventory control. Stretch Films can help to keep palletised goods secured together, and if used correctly, they can reduce dust, dirt, and moisture exposure in packaging. The elasticity of the plastic keeps products tightly bound, minimising shipping damages.

Stretch Films come in different grade thicknesses, weights, and widths. Choosing the type from the diverse range of Stretch Films would depend on its required application.

Anti-Static Stretch Film

Stretch Films with anti-static properties reduce the static generated when wrapping to protect ESD-sensitive products such as electronics and flammable materials.

Machine Stretch Film

Machine Stretch Films are used together with a stretch wrap machine and are commonly used in factories that require high volumes of packaging. Using Machine Stretch Films increases productivity and cost savings on material usage. The machine speed and stretchability level of the stretch wrap machine would be one of the main factors in the thickness required.

Hand Stretch Film

Hand Stretch Films are used with products that are required to be wrapped manually and often with lighter-weight goods, commonly used for household packing or companies with small product volumes.

Coloured Stretch Film

Coloured Stretch Films are designed to be resistant to puncture, allowing easy indication of products in the warehouse. The quick identification of product packaging reduces the rate of picking incorrect goods.

VCI Stretch Film

Vapour Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) Stretch Films limit the oxidation of metals from preventing rust, increasing the products’ shelf-life. They are ideal for odd-shaped or large metal parts that require rust prevention.
