What Is Stretch Wrap??

Stretch wrap is designed to secure your products to a pallet or bundle items together for shipment or storage. The brands we carry offer superior durability, high stretch, and the thinnest films with the greatest protection in the market.

Stretch wrap is highly elastic and, as it is aptly titled, stretches around items to bundle them together, securing them in stacks, often on pallets for shipment or storage at your facility.

There are different types of stretch film for different climates, different clings (one-side clings while the other can slide to avoid sticking and breakage), or two-sided clings, and different thicknesses depending on what you are wrapping.

There are also different types based on how you wrap your items. Hand stretch is used in lower-volume applications, where a person can handle wrapping loads consistently without injury. Alternatively, machine stretch wraps for heavier volumes where an automated pallet-wrapper does the securing.

Not only does Industrial Packaging supply us with the printed packaging materials, they actually do the assembly for us in their Contract Packaging Division.
