Stretch film

The packaging industry is one of the important industries that almost all workshops and production factories depend on because various industries need their packaging to supply their products to the market. One of the best options used for packaging goods is stretch. Stretch film is one of the types of packaging plastics that has properties such as elasticity, adhesion and transparency, and can be used to package all kinds of products.

Stretch film production

Stretch film is a polymer product that is used to package and secure products when they are placed in the warehouse or sent to the desired location. This cover also protects the packed items from dust, possible spillage and environmental damage. Stretch means elastic, which shows that this product has elasticity and can be tightly wrapped around the desired product. This method is a very good alternative to the old packaging methods, and with its help, products can be secured more cost-effectively, stronger and more easily than traditional methods. The production of high-quality stretch film requires attention to the following factors:

• Thickness: The thickness of stretch nylon is usually between 10 and 50 microns.
• Number of layers: stretch film is often produced in multiple layers to increase the final quality of the work and improve the mechanical capabilities of nylon.
• Adhesion: A good stretch film should have a balanced adhesion to surround the product well and create strong packaging.
• Elasticity: The minimum stretchability of these films should be up to 300% so that they do not tear during the stretching process while being economical in the use of nylon. In the video below, you can see the quality of stretch film produced in Wazin Plast collection. As you can see, these films can stretch to several times their original size without any damage or tearing.

Application of stretch packaging

Food stretch: It is used for packaging food products for the purpose of hygiene, maintaining freshness and increasing their shelf life.

Stretch fodder: It is used by ranchers and farmers in order to prevent direct sunlight and increase the lifespan of fodder.

Airport stretch: It is used for packing bags, sacks, suitcases and other cargo of passengers to protect them from environmental pollution and prevent them from opening due to relatively strong pressures and shocks. In shipping and freight service offices, they may also use this type of stretch to protect cartons, boxes and postal packages during the transfer route so that the goods reach the recipient safely.

Stretch furniture: It is used in furniture manufacturing workshops to prevent the sofa crown from being damaged and to prevent dust from penetrating into the fabric and not creating stains on it.

Stretch film customization

Stretch rolls can be produced in the dimensions, thickness and color desired by the customer. Also, according to the customer’s request, other features can be added to the stretch film, such as anti-UV and anti-static properties. The anti-UV additive is against the sun’s ultraviolet rays and is used to increase resistance and durability against sunlight. Antistatic additive is also anti-static and is added to the stretch film to prevent dust absorption.
