Hand stretch film
Hand stretch film, as it can be understood by the name, is used for packing goods by hand. The most popular of that kind is the standard film with the guaranteed stretchiness from 120 per cent to 150 per cent. The thin 8-12 μm film is the most suitable for packaging light, round products, for example plastic bottles. The 12-20 μm film is meant for fixation in cardboard boxes and other kinds of packaging. The dense 20-40 μm film is used to fix heavy materials, such as bricks, cover blocks or metallic products etc. It is possible to order hand stretch film in different widthes, thicknesses of film and lengths of the rolls. In a roll there are normally no more than 300 metres. The colour of the film is mainly translucent but the thicknesses of the film is 17-18 microns. The possible colour to order is white or black.
| Thickness (microns): | 7-10 | 12 | 15 | 17 - 38 |
| Width (mm): | 400, 450, 500 | 400, 450, 500 | 400, 450, 500 | 400, 450, 500 |
| Stretch (%): | 120% - 150% | 120% - 150% | 150% - 180% | 150% - 180% |
Automatic stretch film
The film is mainly used with automatic pallet wrapping devices. The automatic stretch film has considerably higher impedance to tearing compared to hand stretch film, the trait which is useful for protection the transport palette and the products. High quality automatic stretch film on pallets helps to protect cargo while transporting because of additional rigidness the transport palette gets.
