Stretch film – Characteristics and applications

Stretch film (stretch film) is a flexible packaging film made mainly of LLDPE (linear low density polyethylene). It is used to fix and protect goods during transport and storage.

🔹 Properties of stretch film:

✅ High elasticity and strength – allows secure packaging without the need for gluing.
✅ Adhesion – the film adheres to itself and fixes the packed material
✅ Protection against moisture, dust and mechanical damage
✅ Recyclable – an environmentally acceptable packaging option
✅ Variants with UV protection – for outdoor storage

🔹 Types of stretch film:

📌 Hand stretch film – designed for manual wrapping, usually in 50 cm wide rolls
📌 Machine stretch film – used in automated packaging lines
📌 Pre-stretch film – a more economical option that reduces material consumption
📌 Coloured and opaque film – for discreet packaging or UV protection

🔹 Usage:

📦 Fixation of goods on pallets – prevents shifting of cargo during transport
🚛 Weather protection – protects against moisture, dust and dirt
🏭 Packaging of products in industry – food, automotive, logistics

Stretch film is a key element in logistics and an effective solution for stabilizing and protecting goods.
