Stretch Wrap Film Roll

If you are seeking a stretch wrap film roll, look no further than Danshar Polybag and Resin and Toronto Stretch Wrap. We provide our customers with high quality stretch wrap to accommodate the needs of their business. Stretch film is commonly used to bind boxes or objects tightly together on a pallet before they are transported to their intended destination. Stretch wrap use discourages possible pilferage, load tampering, and protects products from becoming damaged during transportation or in a storage.

How Our Stretch Wrap Film Roll is Manufactured

Our films are manufactured using a cast extrusion process. Cast extrusion is a process that is continuous. Thermoplastic material is melted and extruded through a flat die onto a chill roll. Upon the chill roll, the cast film is solidified again, which allows for excellent optics, high tear resistance, quiet unwind, less force required to stretch, and superior cling. Cast stretch wrap is available in both machine grade and hand wrap, making this film a versatile stretch wrap film roll. Hand wrap is manufactured for manual pallet wrapping. Hand rolls are smaller and lighter than machine rolls, which have a higher stretchability rate than hand rolls.

Cast stretch wrap is much less expensive to manufacture than blown stretch wrap, making it the more popular option when it comes to choosing stretch wrap. Blown film, while is has higher stretch and load capacity than cast film and is tear and puncture resistant, it is much more difficult to apply due to its one-sided cling. Blown also does not keep stretching after it is applied and makes more noise when it is used. Most manufacturers and consumers prefer cast film to blown film. 

Stretch films, such as UV stretch films, prevent products from overheating when they are being stored outdoors and opaque stretch wrap conceals valuable items deterring possible theft. An opaque stretch wrap film roll effectively prevents product damage from dew, rain, and dust. Coloured stretch film extends the life of products stored outdoors as compared with regular transparent stretch film. Coloured stretch film is great for colour-coding products, which saves your workers time and energy, as products can be located more easily.

There is high demand for shipping pallets among many businesses. Should your business require handling more pallet shipments than in the past, you can improve your logistics with our stretch film. Pallet wrapping is an important aspect of the shipping process. Stretch film secures your goods to the pallet and prevents damage or loss of merchandise during transit. To ensure goods do not shift or go missing during transit, efficient pallet wrapping is a must.

Using our stretch wrap film roll along with the correct hand wrapping techniques, the stretch wrap application process becomes simple.

  1. Prepare the load by selecting the right pallet prior to stretch wrapping. The pallet should be the correct size for the load, as well as in good working condition and able to contain the full weight of the load.
  2. Stack the load from bottom to top in a uniform manner. Single items should be placed on the pallet as close as possible to each other. This makes it easier to wrap the pallet and prevents the load from shifting in transit.
  3. Take a yard of plastic, squeeze together 8 to 10 inches of the end, and form a rope shape to begin the pallet wrapping process.
  4. Thread the rope through one corner of the pallet and then start wrapping around the base of the pallet. Wrapping the bottom of the pallet five times will ensure the products are bound tightly together.
  5. Tie off the top of the load or continue wrapping from the bottom of the pallet upward. To finish, tie the end of the wrap to the load. Fold the end of the cut stretch film to stick onto the pallet itself. Compression will hold the end in place.

Wrapping begins at the bottom and continues upward until you reach the top of the load. Ensure you are walking around the pallet at a 360-degree angle. Wrap the base of the pallet many times to ensure the load has a strong, stable base. The stretch wrap should be overlapping itself by 50 percent. As you manually wrap the pallet, you can make a rough estimate. Wrap the top of the load twice to secure the load. Efficient stretch wrapping means working your way up and making sure that the wrap is tight.

The goal of stretch wrapping is to bind the products together as one. As you reach the top of the pallet, you can then determine whether the products stay together or not and add more wrap to the looser areas, as necessary. Tension determines how tightly the stretch wrap compresses the load. Using tension when wrapping pallets ensures the load is tightly bound, secured, and stable.

High performance and superior quality stretch wrap makes pallet wrapping a more simple, efficient, and secure process.
