Machine Grade Stretch Film
Machine grade stretch film is a specialized plastic material designed for use with automatic stretch wrapping machines. It is designed to provide secure and efficient packaging for pallets and other large items. This type of film is typically thicker and more durable than hand-held stretch film, allowing for more robust and reliable load containment.
Key characteristics of machine grade stretch film:
- Thickness: Typically thicker than hand-held stretch film, providing greater strength and puncture resistance.
- Length: Available in long lengths to accommodate large pallets and loads.
- Width: Varies depending on the size of the pallet or load being wrapped.
- Gauge: Measured in microns, the gauge determines the film's thickness and strength.
- Stretchiness: Highly elastic, allowing it to stretch significantly and conform tightly around irregular shapes.
- Adhesion: Provides excellent cling to itself, ensuring secure and stable packaging.
- Clarity: Often clear, but can also be tinted or opaque for specific applications.
Common uses for machine grade stretch film:
- Pallet wrapping: Securing pallets of goods for transportation and storage.
- Load stabilization: Preventing items from shifting or falling off during handling and shipping.
- Product protection: Protecting products from damage, moisture, and contamination.
- Theft prevention: Deterring theft by making it more difficult to access the contents of a pallet.
Types of machine grade stretch film:
- Cast stretch film: Known for its clarity, quiet operation, and good stretch properties.
- Blown stretch film: Offers excellent puncture resistance and is suitable for irregular-shaped loads.
- Pre-stretch film: Already stretched to a certain degree, reducing the amount of stretching required during application.
By understanding the characteristics and applications of machine grade stretch film, you can select the most appropriate type for your specific packaging needs.
