Hand Grade & Machine Grade Stretch Film

Stretch film is a highly stretchable plastic film that secures, bundles, and stabilizes items on pallets during storage or transportation. It wraps tightly around goods to form a protective barrier that prevents shifting, reduces damage, and keeps the load intact. Hand grade stretch film or stretch wrap also protects items from dust, moisture, and tampering while its contents remain visible. Our machine grade stretch film is widely used in industries like warehouses, corrugated box, and meat processing.

Linear low-density polyethylene, or LLDPE, stretch film is a highly stretchable plastic film predominantly used to package and protect products for shipping or warehousing securely. Its molecular structure, characterized by short, branched chains, gives it unique properties such as high tensile strength, puncture resistance, and flexibility. LLDPE machine grade stretch film is ideal for wrapping irregularly shaped items and keeping loads stable.

However, LLDPE stretch film has some disadvantages. It typically is less glossy and transparent compared to LDPE, which may be a consideration for applications where product visibility is important. Additionally, LLDPE has a narrower temperature range for heat sealing, which can affect its performance in certain environments. Processing LLDPE can also be more challenging than LDPE, potentially requiring specialized equipment or conditions.

Ultimately, LLDPE stretch film is a versatile and durable packaging material with significant benefits that include strength, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. While it has some limitations regarding clarity and processing, its advantages make it a preferred choice for many industrial applications.
