With that being said, I am confident that you buy at least some of your stretch film from online stores and other packaging vendors. Specifically, there is one store we have in mind regarding many consumers' most common stretch film suppliers. While we cannot mention the name of this business for various reasons, we can say that the company's name rhymes with "U-pine" (You Pine).
