Using Stretch Film

 

Understanding Different Types Of Film
 
Blown Stretch Films
 
Blown Hand Stretch Films are typically used for heavier irregular loads and applications requiring excellent puncture and tear resistance. They offer excellent cling and superior load stablilisation characteristics.
 
Pre-Stretch Films
 
Prestretching involves stretching the film during manufacture. The process increases film strength, improves load stability, reduces the volume of stretch wrap film needed and saves on stretch film packaging costs.  Prestretched stretch films are designed to achieve optimal prestretching results that can be used with stretch wrap machines and manual application operations.

Key benefits experienced from using prestretched hand stretch film include:
-   Reduced wastage
-   No neckdown
-   Faster wrapping
-   Improved health and safety for users

Cast Stretch Films

Cast Hand Stretch Films provide a smooth surface that enables excellent cling without additives. In addition, a quieter stretch wrapping environment, excellent optics, gloss and strength.

 

 

Handheld stretch films are used for manual stretch wrap packaging application. Designed for hand wrapping application, hand film rolls are lighter and smaller than machine film rolls to make application easier.
 
Tips for Pallet Wrapping Using Handheld Stretch Films
  • Always place the outside of the film to surface of pallet.
  • Secure the stretch film to the pallet before wrapping by tying it to the pallet base.
  • Always ensure film covers the base of pallet and the bottom layer of the load.
  • Wrap bottom of pallet at least twice to secure load.
  • Overlap the stretch film by 30 to 50%
  • Depending on the weight of your load, consider wrapping the pallet twice.
  • To increase the strength, use the film horizontally to create a "strap".

Always use a handheld stretch film dispenser for rapid easy application and to prevent injury through straining or repetitive use.
