Stretch film, also known as stretch wrap, is a highly stretchable plastic film used to wrap products and pallets for storage, shipping, and distribution. Its elasticity ensures that goods are tightly bound together, reducing movement and providing stability during transportation.
Over the past few decades, stretch film has evolved from a simple wrapping material to a high-performance packaging solution. Modern films offer higher tensile strength, puncture resistance, and eco-friendly options compared to older packaging methods such as strapping or shrink wrap.
In today’s global supply chain, companies are under pressure to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and protect their goods. Stretch film offers the perfect balance of security, flexibility, and sustainability, making it one of the most widely used packaging solutions worldwide.
Prevents Product Shifting During Transit
Stretch film holds pallet loads tightly, preventing goods from shifting or falling during transport. This is especially critical in industries like logistics, automotive, and construction where heavy or irregular loads are common.
Protects Against Dust, Dirt, and Moisture
Unlike open strapping or tape, stretch film provides a full protective barrier around products. It keeps goods safe from dust, dirt, and even moisture during storage and shipping.
Modern stretch films are engineered to be thinner yet stronger. For example, a 17–23 µm machine stretch film can provide the same or greater protection than older, thicker films. This reduces material use while maintaining durability.
Using machine stretch film can significantly cut labor time compared to manual strapping or shrink wrapping. By wrapping pallets quickly and securely, companies can lower labor costs and increase warehouse throughput.
From the food and beverage sector to electronics, furniture, and construction, stretch film adapts to a wide range of products. It is equally effective for lightweight cartons or heavy industrial goods.
Unlike rigid packaging, stretch film conforms to the shape of any product. Even pallets with mixed sizes can be securely wrapped without additional packaging materials.

Clear stretch film allows easy identification of products and barcodes without unwrapping, saving time in warehouses and during customs inspections.
Stretch film can also be customized in different colors or printed with logos and handling instructions, improving warehouse efficiency and enhancing brand recognition.
Because stretch film can be stretched up to 300–500% of its original length, less material is needed per pallet. This significantly reduces packaging waste.
High-quality stretch films are 100% recyclable. At Juhong Packing Materials, we also provide eco-friendly stretch films made with reduced plastic content.
To support sustainability goals, Juhong offers stretch films manufactured with PCR content while maintaining excellent strength and performance.
Shrink wrap requires heat equipment, higher energy costs, and is less flexible for irregular loads. Stretch film, by contrast, does not require heat and provides faster, safer application.
While strapping is ideal for securing very heavy loads like steel coils, it offers no surface protection. Stretch film, on the other hand, not only stabilizes pallets but also covers and protects products.
Boxes and crates add bulk, weight, and cost to shipping. Stretch film minimizes packaging volume, allowing companies to fit more products into the same space.
Adhesive tape is suitable for sealing cartons but not for pallet wrapping. Stretch film provides complete unitization of goods, something tape cannot achieve.
Hand stretch film: typically 17–35 µm
Machine stretch film: 8**–50 µm**, depending on load weight
Choosing the correct gauge reduces waste while ensuring load security
