What Is Stretch Wrap & Why Toronto Businesses Use It

Stretch wrap (also called stretch film) is a high-performance plastic film engineered to stretch around products or pallets, creating tight containment and a protective barrier. Toronto operations rely on stretch film to:

• Improve load stability and reduce shifting during transport.
• Shield inventory from dust, dirt, and moisture in storage.
• Bundle smaller items for clean, damage-free handling.
• Lower packaging costs by minimizing returns, breakage, and shrinkage.

Types of Stretch Wrap Available in Toronto

Hand Stretch Wrap

Ideal for small to mid-size volumes, irregular shapes, or mixed pallets. Our hand film offers excellent cling, reliable puncture resistance, and smooth unwinding for quicker walk-around applications.

Machine Stretch Wrap

Designed for high-output facilities using turntable, rotary-arm, or ring-style wrappers. Expect consistent film delivery, superior containment force, and reduced film usage per pallet. We stock core sizes and roll lengths that keep automated lines efficient.

Blown Stretch Film

Known for higher toughness and puncture resistance, blown film handles sharp edges, uneven loads, and heavy products. It’s the Toronto favorite for construction materials, metal parts, and dense freight.

Cast Stretch Film

Crystal clarity, quiet unwind, and smooth release make cast film perfect when barcodes must scan easily or quiet application matters on the floor.

Choosing the Right Gauge, Width, and Performance

Selecting the right stretch wrap is about balancing containment force, film memory, and total cost. As a rule of thumb, 60–70 gauge suits light, uniform loads; 80–90 gauge covers most mixed pallets; and 100–120 gauge (or high-performance equivalents) tackle heavy, sharp, or tall loads. We’ll also consider pre-stretch levels, film modulus, and wrap patterns to dial in the perfect specification for your line.
