Stretch film is a highly elastic thin plastic film predominantly made from polyethylene (PE) resins.It is manufactured using a process that stretches the film to its desired elongation, imparting characteristic elasticity.It is used to secure, protect, and package goods by stretching and compacting, tightly wrapping them together. PE stretch film is a plastic film that exhibits self-adhesive properties. It is a thin film that can be stretched and tightly wrapped around items for bundling and wrapping purposes.The adhesive does not adhere to the surface of the packaged goods and is present only on the film's surfaces.Stretch wrap does not require heat shrinkage treatment in wrapping processes, which helps save energy, reduce packaging costs, facilitate containerized transportation, and improve logistics efficiency. Combining pallets and forklifts in the "unitized loading and unloading" method reduces transportation costs. At the same time, the high clarity of the films aids in identifying packaged goods and minimizing distribution errors. Utilizing the film's strong wrapping force and retraction properties, stretch films securely and compactly binds products into a single unit, preventing any loosening, separation, sharp edges, or stickiness that could cause damage.
Gauge is the thickness of the stretch wrap and also sometimes measured in microns. The higher the number means the thicker the stretch wrap.
| Gauge | Mil | Micron | Millimeter | Inch |
| 23 | 0.23 | 5.8 | .0058 | .0002 |
| 30 | .30 | 7.6 | .0076 | .0003 |

Stretch film is available in different thicknesses and widths to accommodate various wrapping needs and types of goods.
Thickness is typically expressed in microns or gauge, with standard stretch film thicknesses is 12-30 microns(μm) or 50 gauge - 120 gaude.
Width is usually between 12 to 20 inches (30 to 50 cm) and can be customized according to specific requirements.
Different thicknesses offer varying levels of strength and protection.
Thicker films, such as 20-35 μm(80-140 gauge), are suitable for heavy or sharp-edged items, providing enhanced puncture resistance, the film which allows it to handle heavier loads.
Thinner films, like 10-15 microns(40-90 gauge), are ideal for lighter items or when cost-efficiency is prioritized.
Stretch film comes in various widths, typically 12 inches (30 cm) to 20 inches (50 cm).
The choice of width depends on the size and dimensions of the items being wrapped.
Opt for wider widths when packaging larger or bulkier items for better coverage and stability.
How To Calculate The Required Stretch Film Specifications
|
Weight Calculation Formula |
Length Calculation Formula |
|
Weight = Length (m) * thickness (um) * width (cm) * 0.918 |
Length = Weight(kg) / thickness (um) / width (cm) / 0.918 |
|
Give an Example : |
|
|
550m length, 22um thickness, 50CM width, the weight is about 5.5 kgs. (550*0.022*0.5*0.918=5.5) |
|
|
3 kgs weight, 22um thickness, 50CM width, the length is about 297m. (3/0.022/0.5/0.918=297) |
|
This type is primarily used for manual packaging, where the quality requirements are relatively lower. Each roll typically weighs around 4kg to 5kg for ease of handling.
Machine stretch film is used in mechanical packaging processes, where the film is applied using machine driven by the movement of goods.
It has higher stretch strength and requires a specific stretch ratio, typically around 300%. The rolls weigh approximately 15kg.
Machine stretch wrap is an essential packaging solution for pallet loads, helping to keep them secure during shipping and handling.
Pre-stretch film is a type of stretch film that has been pre-stretched during the manufacturing process. This stretching process involves elongating the film to a certain degree before it is wound onto the roll, reducing its thickness and increasing its strength and elasticity.
One of the key advantages of pre-stretched stretch film is its reduced film consumption. As the film is already stretched during the manufacturing process, less film is required to wrap a given load, leading to cost savings and decreased environmental impact.
Pre-stretch stretch wrap requires less effort to apply compared to traditional stretch films. The reduced tension during application minimizes the physical effort needed by operators, making the wrapping process more efficient and less strenuous.
Colored stretch film comes in blue, red, yellow, green, and black. Manufacturers use it to differentiate and facilitate the identification of goods during wrapping.
