Hand Stretch Film for Pallet Wrapping
Hand Stretch Film is used to secure cartons, products, bundles, and palletized loads by wrapping the film around the load. The film stretches around the products and clings to itself, helping keep the load together during handling, storage, and transportation.
Because it can be applied manually, Hand Stretch Film is useful where automatic stretch-wrapping equipment is not required or where different loads need to be wrapped directly in the warehouse or dispatch area.
Key Features of Manual Stretch Wrap
- Excellent Stretchability: Helps provide tight and secure load wrapping.
- Strong Cling: Allows the film to adhere to itself during wrapping.
- Load Containment: Helps reduce movement of products during storage and transportation.
- Dust and Dirt Protection: Helps protect wrapped goods from external contamination.
- Clear Visibility: Clear film helps maintain visibility of products, labels, and barcodes.
- Multiple Options: Available in different thicknesses, widths, colours, and core sizes.
