Industrial Stretch Film

For businesses in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), efficient industrial stretch film solutions are crucial for safeguarding products during storage and transportation. Industrial stretch wrap, also known as stretch film or pallet wrap, offers a reliable method to secure goods, ensuring they remain intact and protected. At Toronto Stretch Wrap, we provide a comprehensive range of stretch wrap products tailored to meet diverse industrial needs.

What is Industrial Stretch Wrap? 

Industrial stretch wrap is a highly stretchable plastic film, typically made from linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), designed to wrap around items to keep them tightly bound. Unlike shrink wrap, which requires heat to shrink the film around products, stretch wrap relies on its elastic recovery to secure items. This makes it an ideal choice for unitizing loads on pallets, bundling smaller items, and protecting goods from dust, moisture, and tampering during transit.

Types of Stretch Wrap Available

At Toronto Stretch Wrap, we offer various types of stretch wrap to cater to different packaging requirements:

• Machine-Grade Stretch Film: Designed for high-volume packaging lines, this film is compatible with automated stretch wrap machines, ensuring consistent application and efficiency.
• Hand Stretch Wrap: Ideal for manual wrapping tasks, this film is suitable for smaller operations or areas where machine wrapping isn't feasible.
• Pre-Stretched Film: This film is stretched during manufacturing, reducing the effort required during application and minimizing material usage.
• UV-Resistant Wrap: Specifically formulated for outdoor storage, this wrap protects products from sun exposure and UV degradation.

Benefits of Using Stretch Wrap 

Implementing industrial stretch wrap in your packaging process offers several advantages:

• Enhanced Load Stability: By tightly securing items, stretch wrap prevents shifting during transportation, reducing the risk of damage.
• Protection from Environmental Factors: Stretch wrap shields products from dust, moisture, and other contaminants.
• Cost-Effective Packaging: Compared to other packaging methods, stretch wrap is economical, requiring less material and labor.
• Versatility: Suitable for various industries, including logistics, manufacturing, and retail, stretch wrap can be used for a wide range of products.

Choosing the Right Stretch Wrap Serving Toronto and the GTA

Selecting the appropriate stretch wrap depends on factors such as load size, weight, and storage conditions. For instance, heavy or irregularly shaped loads may benefit from blown stretch film due to its superior puncture resistance, while lighter loads might be adequately secured with cast stretch film, known for its clarity and quiet unwind. 

Our experts at Toronto Stretch Wrap can assist you in determining the best stretch wrap solution tailored to your specific needs.

Located in North York, Toronto Stretch Wrap proudly serves clients across Toronto, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, and the broader GTA. Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction ensures that businesses receive reliable packaging solutions to meet their operational demands.

Industrial Stretch Film Solutions 

Industrial stretch wrap isn’t one-size-fits-all. Tailoring your film choice to load characteristics, operating conditions, and efficiency goals is essential. Let’s break down the evolving landscape, informed by current industry knowledge experts:

Types of Industrial Stretch Wrap

1. Blown Stretch Film
   Manufactured via a blown-extrusion process, this film is highly durable, featuring exceptional puncture resistance and superior load retention — especially valuable for securing irregular or sharp-edged items. It also offers excellent memory, helping loads stay tight even through shipping stresses.. However, blown film typically costs more, has reduced clarity, and can be noisier during application.
2. Cast Stretch Film
   Produced through cast extrusion, cast film delivers crystal-clear visibility, uniform thickness, low noise levels, and two-sided cling—all at a lower cost. Its drawbacks include less memory and lower tear resistance compared to blown film.
3. Pre-Stretched Film
   This film arrives pre-stretched—often up to 300% of its original length—minimizing application effort while boosting efficiency. It reduces material usage, lowers costs, supports energy-efficient operations, and maintains strong load stability.
4. Specialty Films Benefits

• UV-Stabilized and Anti-Static Films: These specialty films are tailored to protect light-sensitive or electronically sensitive goods during prolonged exposure or storage.
• Ventilated and Color-Coded Films: Ventilated films are perfect for fresh produce, baked goods, or items requiring airflow. Color films enhance tamper detection, secure branding, or inventory differentiation.

• Efficiency and Load Stability: Stretch wrap enables palletization, allowing for better presence control and safer workplace handling.
• Protection: It shields against dust, moisture, tampering, and environmental factors, especially when using specialty films.
• Sustainability and Cost Savings: Pre-stretched and down-gauged films reduce waste and offer long-term savings—down-gauging in cast films is gaining traction for maximizing strength with reduced material.
• Operational Advantages: Machine-grade wraps, especially cast film, minimize noise and enhance throughput—while still delivering solid performance.
