Stretch Film is a polymer-based product used for packaging and securing goods during storage or transportation to their destination. This covering also protects packaged items against dust, potential spillage, and environmental damage.
Hand Use Stretch Film
The term “stretch” refers to elasticity, indicating the product’s ability to stretch and be tightly wrapped around the intended goods. This method is an excellent alternative to traditional packaging techniques, allowing products to be secured more firmly, conveniently, and at a lower cost compared to conventional methods.
Thickness
The thickness of stretch film typically ranges between 10 and 50 microns.
Number of Layers
Stretch film is commonly produced in multiple layers to enhance overall quality and improve the mechanical properties of the film.
Adhesion
A high-quality stretch film should have balanced adhesion to securely wrap the product and create strong packaging.
Elasticity
The stretchability of stretch film should be sufficient to ensure cost efficiency while preventing tearing during the stretching process.
Product Specifications
Manual stretch films, with advantages such as high adhesion, high elasticity, and light weight, are more commonly used for household applications and small-scale industrial uses.

Applications and Advantages
- Pallet Stretch Film is used for palletizing and final packaging of goods produced in factories, ensuring that products remain protected from damage during transportation until they reach their destination.
- Food Stretch Film is used for packaging food products to ensure hygiene, preserve freshness, and extend shelf life.
- Silage Stretch Film is used in livestock farming and agriculture to prevent direct exposure to sunlight and to extend the shelf life of forage.
- Airport Stretch Film is used for wrapping passengers’ luggage and shipments to protect them against environmental contamination and to prevent opening due to pressure and strong impacts during transportation.
- Furniture Stretch Film is used in furniture manufacturing workshops to protect sofa frames and upholstery, prevent dust penetration into the fabric, and avoid staining or surface damage during production and handling.
Colored and Additive Stretch Films
Stretch film rolls can be produced in customer-specific dimensions, thicknesses, and colors. Additionally, UV-resistant and anti-static properties can be added to the stretch film upon customer request.
Anti-UV Stretch Film
The anti-UV additive protects against ultraviolet solar radiation and is used to increase resistance and durability when exposed to sunlight.
Anti-Static Stretch Film
The anti-static additive provides protection against static electricity and is added to stretch film to prevent dust attraction.
