Hand Applied Cast Stretch Film – Super Heavy Duty

At Macfarlane Packaging, super heavy duty cast stretch film is a premium-grade stretch wrap designed for manual application, offering superior strength and durability for securing heavy, bulky, or irregularly shaped loads.

Our super heavy-duty film is manufactured using the cast extrusion process. This way of manufacturing creates a film that is clear, quiet to unwind, and resistant to tearing or puncturing.

The super heavy-duty film contains enhanced stretchability, which allows for tighter more secure wrapping, ensuring that even the heaviest of goods are protected during transportation or storage.

Super heavy-duty hand stretch film is used for securing and stabilising heavy, bulky, or irregularly shaped loads during transport or storage.

The super heavy-duty film is ideal for industries handling large machinery, building materials, or palletised goods, it provides enhanced load protection by tightly wrapping and containing items to prevent shifting or damage.

The super heavy duty stretch film is also commonly used in environments where manual wrapping is required, and extra strength is necessary to ensure the integrity of the load.

Using extra strong hand applied cast stretch film –offers several benefits, including superior strength and puncture resistance, making it ideal for securing heavy or irregular loads.

The super heavy-duty film is thicker than other films and ensures tight, secure wrapping, reducing the risk of load shifting during transport. The film is also clear, allowing for easy load inspection, and its smooth, quiet unwind makes manual application more efficient.

Additionally, as our heavy-duty pallet wrap is made using cast film, it has excellent cling properties, ensuring that the wrap stays in place without the need for adhesives or additional securing methods.

Cling film and stretch film, while both being types of plastic films, serve different purposes and have distinct characteristics. Here’s a comparison of the two:

Cling Film:

• Purpose: Cling film, also known as plastic wrap or cling wrap, is primarily used for food storage and preservation. It adheres closely to the surface of containers or directly to the food itself to create an airtight seal, helping to keep food fresh and prevent spoilage.
• Material: Cling film is typically made from polyethylene, a type of plastic. It is designed to be transparent and easily cling to surfaces through static electricity.
• Application: Cling film is used in kitchens and households for wrapping leftovers, covering dishes, and storing food in the refrigerator or freezer.
• Stretchability: While cling film does have some stretchiness due to its plastic composition, it is not designed for heavy-duty stretching or load stabilization like stretch film.

Stretch Film:

• Purpose: Stretch film, also known as pallet wrap or stretch wrap, is primarily used for securing and stabilizing loads during transportation, storage, or shipping. It is commonly used to wrap pallets of goods to prevent shifting, damage, and tampering.
• Material: Stretch film is made from a variety of materials, including linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). It is designed to have significant stretchability and resilience.
• Application: Stretch film is used in industrial and commercial settings for wrapping palletized loads, bundling items together, and providing protection during transit.
• Stretchability: The key feature of stretch film is its ability to stretch significantly when applied, allowing it to tightly wrap around items and create a secure hold. This helps stabilize loads and prevent movement.

Summary:

In summary, the primary difference between cling film and stretch film lies in their intended uses. Cling film is designed for food storage and preservation, while stretch film is designed for load stabilization and protection during shipping and storage of goods.
