Understanding Key Performance in Industrial Packaging: Tensile Strength, Elongation at Break, Adhesion, and More

In the world of industrial packaging, the safety and stability of transport packaging are crucial to protecting goods from damage during transportation. To achieve this goal, it is also important to test the performance of stretch film. In this article, we will explore in depth the key properties of testing using FPT750, including breaking force, elongation at break, viscosity, deformation, elastic recovery, tension retention, and puncture resistance. These properties not only determine the performance of packaging materials but al...

Why Stretch Film Breaks: Common Causes and Our Core Strength

Indeed, stretch film can secure pallets and maintain stability during transportation and storage. However, some of the top reasons for stretch film breaking. Now, I will take a deeper look at each of these reasons with you.   Improper Tension Settings One of the most common causes of stretch wrap film breaking is applying it with too much stress. Stretch wrappers often feature tension dials that must be properly adjusted based on criteria such as film type, load characteristics, and application requirements.  ...

What is the difference between stretch wrap film and cling film?

Stretch wrap film and cling film (also known as plastic wrap or food wrap) are both plastic films, but they serve different purposes and have distinct properties. Here’s a breakdown of their key differences:   Material Composition: Stretch Wrap: Typically made from linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), stretch wrap film is a strong, durable plastic designed to stretch and hold items securely together. Cling Film: Usually made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or low-density polyethylene (LDPE), cling film is thinner, m...

Stretch Film: The Optimal Performance for Packaging Efficiency

Stretch film also called stretch wrap, is a kind of transparent, flexible, and strong plastic film. As a new type of packaging material, it is rapidly rising in world packaging market.   Different from shrink film, stretch film can be stretched longitudinally and transversely without heating. At the same time, it can wrap the products and keep the package tension. This is a good idea for securing pallets during long-time transportation and storage.   Wrap film can be made of PVC, PE, EVA, LLDPE, and other materials. H...

6 Specialized Tips On Using Stretch Film for Wrapping

Stretch film, also known as stretch wrap, is a highly stretchable plastic film commonly used to secure, bundle, and protect products and pallets during transportation and storage. It is made from linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), our nano film can stretch 400% of its original length. At the same time, cling film secures and wraps the load tightly without the need for additional adhesives and tape.   Stretch film can be used in various industries, for example, construction, chemicals, and logistics, to protect products...

The difference between manual stretch film and machine stretch film

With the continuous growth of the stretch wrap film market, more and more products are packaged with stretch film, which is due to the good tensile performance, strong retraction force, high transparency, good puncture resistance, good self-adhesion and low unit consumption of the stretch film.   In general, the stretch film on the market is divided into two types: manual and machine. Generally, the stretch film is made of LLDPE and tackifier, while if it is machine-used, MLLDPE must be added. In addition to the difference i...
