Stretch & Shrink Wrap is a type of packaging material used to secure, bundle, and protect items during shipping or storage. Common types of Stretch & Shrink Wrap include packing stretch wrap, packing shrink wrap, shipping stretch wrap, and shipping shrink wrap.

Types of Stretch & Shrink Wrap

Packing stretch wrap is often thicker than shipping stretch wrap as it must hold heavier items securely for longer periods of time. Packing shrink wrap is also thicker than its counterpart for the same reason. Shipping shrink and stretch wraps are thinner and designed to be lightweight so that they don't add too much extra weight to the package.

How Stretch & Shrink Wrap are Made

Stretch & Shrink Wraps are made from polyethylene plastic film which is then stretched in one direction while being heated with hot air or steam. The stretching process creates a film that has an increased tensile strength allowing it to be used for packaging purposes such as bundling and wrapping items.

Industries that use Stretch & Shrink Wrap

Stretch & Shrink Wraps are commonly used by professionals in many industries including construction, manufacturing, retail, food services, transportation, warehousing and more. Professionals often use them when bundling items together for easier handling or wrapping individual items to protect them from dust or moisture.
