Product type
Stretch films are highly stretchable plastic films made primarily from linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). They are designed to cling tightly to products and secure them for storage or transportation. The elasticity of stretch films allows them to conform to the shape of the items being wrapped, providing protection against dust, moisture, and damage during transit.

When selecting stretch films, consider the thickness and width based on the size and weight of the items you need to wrap. It's important to specify the level of stretchability and cling required for your application. Additionally, inquire about UV resistance if the products will be stored outdoors. Certifications for food safety may also be relevant for food packaging applications. Always request a sample to test the film's performance before making a bulk purchase.
