CAST HAND STRETCH WRAP

Hand stretch wrap, also known as stretch film and pallet wrap, is a stretchable plastic film with elastic memory properties that clings to its self and leaves no residue behind. It is most commonly used with a dispenser to wrap products and cartons securely to pallets. Available in clear and coloured options, colour tinted hand stretch films are used for product organization during storage, or for extra security during shipment.

Which Stretch Wrap Material Best Suits Your Application?

Standard Cast and Blown Stretch Wraps: Cast film tends to be a more cost-effective stretch wrap choice, as the manufacturing process is a lot faster than blown stretch film. However, blown stretch wrap offers greater durability and holding powers, therefore offering more security for heavier or larger loads. Both cast and blown films have their benefits, see Blown Stretch Wrap Versus Cast Stretch Wrap for more details.

High performance cast stretch films are becoming more popular, offering high strengths in lighter gauges, and therefore, excellent down gauging opportunities. This high clarity hand stretch wrap is designed for strength, with superior cling, and exceptional puncture resistance and load containment.

Pre-stretched blown films are available in light, medium and heavy pre-stretched film gauges, to meet your load type and weight requirements. It is exactly what its name suggests, a film that has been pre-stretched to approximately 90% during the manufacturing process, prior to being wound on the roll. 
  • Productivity is increased as more pallets can be wrapped per roll, meaning less roll changes.
  • Maximum material yeild is achieved, meaning less film is required to unitize a pallet of product, making it more environmentally friendly than alternative stretch wraps.
  • Pre-stretched films are thinner and therefore significantly lighter, reducing operator fatigue.
  • Stretch films are engineered to stretch and when stretched near its breaking point, it creates a dynamic tension, similar to an elastic band, creating more load compression on the pallet. The result is a more resilient pallet that can effectively handle the stresses of transportation.
