  • Different sized thicknesses and widths of film are needed for different applications. Please contact one of our experts to find which thickness and width would be ideal for your application.

  • Opaque stretch film offers a variety of advantages over clear stretch film. A few advantages include:

    1. Discourages pilfering valuable shipments by concealing products.

    2. Helps to protect products from UV rays.

    3. Outlasts regular clear stretch film during extended outdoor storage.

    4. Great for color coding products.

  • UV protection can help extend the storage life of the stretch film when stored in the sun. Anyone should consider UV stretch film for any shipments stored outside longer than 60 days.

  • The two equivalent hand stretch films we offer are Hybrid stretch film and Micron stretch film.

    Hybrid and micron stretch film are considered an eco-friendly option for reducing film waste.

    Hybrid stretch film is a thinner stretch film with a super-strong resin formula. It is the thinnest strongest film we offer and is not recommended for loads over 1800 lbs. Because the film is thin, it does not have the same amount of tear resistance as a thicker film.

    Micron stretch film is a film in-between the "true gauged" stretch film and the Hybrid stretch film. It is a multi-layered film that offers great cling, stretch, and tear resistance. It offers users the ability to reduce costs while staying confident about load security.

    We also offer our Performance line of machine stretch film that is thinner, stronger, and offers users the ability to save on costs.

    The performance stretch film is a multi-layered machine stretch film that provides more stretch than traditional machine stretch film. It offers a high amount of cling and downsizing opportunities.
