The newest addition to our sustainable packaging lineup is the Oxy Fade Stretch Wrap. This wrap features a unique design that is both easy to use and offers superior protection for your products. The Oxy Fade Stretch Wrap is manufactured using an advanced extruded process, where melted plastic is formed into film. Our Oxy Fade Stretch Wrap is designed with a special blend of materials that helps to reduce plastic waste by up to 50%.
It also features an oxygen-barrier layer, which prevents oxidation and helps keep your products safe during transport. Compared to other films, this stretch wrap offers high clarity, making it easier to inspect packaged goods. Plus, with its durable construction and easy-to-use design, it provides businesses with a reliable stretch wrap solution for their product packaging needs. The wrap is supplied in convenient rolls for manual or machine application. It is ideal for securing items on a pallet during transport and storage. When applying the film, it is important to properly secure the end of the film to ensure load stability and prevent unraveling. Forming a secure bottom wrap is also essential to stabilize the load. The film is stretched during wrapping to enhance load stability, and adjusting the force applied can impact the security of the load. There are different types of stretch wrap available, including hand, machine, and specialty types.
Environmental Impact and Sustainability
As environmental awareness grows, businesses are increasingly seeking sustainable alternatives to traditional stretch film and stretch wrap solutions. While stretch film—including both machine stretch film and hand stretch film—plays a vital role in securing loads and protecting products during storage and transport, it is typically made from plastic materials such as Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE). If not handled responsibly, these films can contribute to plastic waste and pollution.
However, stretch film also helps reduce product damage and loss, which in turn minimizes the need for replacement items and additional packaging. This protective function is essential for reducing overall waste in the supply chain. Advanced options like blown film offer enhanced tear resistance and puncture resistance, making them ideal for wrapping heavy or irregular loads and reducing the risk of film failure during use.
Modern stretch films are engineered for improved elastic recovery, allowing for a tighter, more secure wrap with less material. Two-sided cling films further enhance load stability, ensuring that boxes and products stay firmly wrapped without the need for extra layers or additional packaging materials. These innovations help businesses use just the right amount of film for each application, cutting down on excess and supporting more sustainable operations.
In response to growing demand, manufacturers are now offering a variety of eco-friendly stretch film products, including biodegradable films made from plant-based materials. These alternatives can help reduce the environmental impact of stretch wrap, especially when combined with best practices such as proper recycling and responsible disposal. Always check with your local authorities or recycling centers for guidance on how to recycle stretch film in your area.
At Tilak Polypack, we are committed to providing a wide range of stretch film products—including hand stretch film, machine stretch film, and specialty films with features like two-sided cling and high resistance—to meet your packaging needs while supporting your sustainability goals. Our team is here to help you select the right film for your application, optimize your usage, and minimize waste.
