What Is Stretch Wrap?

Stretch film is a popular and cost-effective way to contain loads before storage and shipping. Once you load your products, it is important that those boxes or packages do not shift or fall over; you risk damage. Damaged products result when cases are not properly erected, stacked on the pallet correctly, or secured in place with the proper stretch film. With our blown stretch film or cast stretch film, you can rest assured that your products will remain safe and your business operations will stay on track while looking great throughout the entire shipping process.

No matter your load’s shape, size, or fragility, consider Millennium Packaging, your stretch film supplier, for a stretch film that meets your needs across a wide range of applications. We know we have a stretch film in stock that meets your needs! Some loads are particularly delicate, and those loads call for a stretch film that can stretch but does not apply too much pressure and risk damaging your products. While other loads are more uniform and durable, allowing for quick machine wrapping.

Our customers appreciate the superior strength of our stretch film because it can decrease tears, which minimizes the amount of wrap needed to wrap your products, one of the key benefits of our stretch wrap solutions. For great visual appeal, we carry films that can wrap your products with the highest clarity without a high price tag.

Not all packaging products are the same, and neither are the loads that need to be contained. Our technicians are available for consultation to help you determine which product is ideal for you. Contact us to learn more about stretch film for wrapping or reach out to our team for expert guidance.

Hand Stretch Wrap

Hand stretch wrap is an excellent option for delicate loads or smaller volumes, where packaging products can be applied manually. Whether you are shipping across the globe or your plant, our hand-stretch film is the solution for you. It’s no secret that the shipping process can be rough on products if they are not properly packaged, which is why load containment is so important. Here at Millennium Packaging, we work with a variety of stretch films available; our technicians can help you find the product best suited to your needs. You can apply stretch wrap to the load manually. Our hand wraps come in all different shapes and sizes. Products with sharp edges can be difficult to wrap effectively. If you are running into this issue with your boxes, our tear-resistant and puncture-resistant hand films might be right for you. Hand stretch film is a convenient packaging product for protecting smaller shipments, whether you already have a stretch wrapper or not, making it easy to adjust to your process.

Machine Stretch Wrap

Are you looking to add a more streamlined process to secure and wrap your products? For companies with larger volumes of loads that need containment as your operation grows and demand increases, machine wrapping is right for you. Pallet wrapping helps to keep your loads secured in a uniform, stable, and efficient way.

When working with a machine stretch wrapper, the type of film you are working with matters. Automation can handle time-consuming activities such as packing, sealing, labeling, and pallet stabilization using stretch film. We have stretch film in a variety of widths and gauges to meet your needs and match the wrapping machine you are working with.

How Should I Choose Between Hand Wrapping & Machine Wrapping?

The answer to this question lies in the number of loads you are wrapping per day. Many small operators can get away with hand wrapping their products, but once you are working with a larger volume of products, it is typically best to transition to machine-wrapping pallets. A stretch machine can wrap your products in less time than a human laborer using hand stretch films.

Machine wrappers can save on the amount of wrap used per load while providing the proper load containment. Wrapping stretch film via machine uses less film per load, one of its greatest features. A human laborer can only stretch wrap a film about 60-70% if they pull the film as tightly as they can. While a machine can stretch that same film up to 350%, using less film per load, saving you on the cost of shipping and helping you see the difference in efficiency. At a pace of 10 loads per day, a machine will pay for itself.

Another aspect to consider is the security of your products throughout the entire storage and shipping process. When you have a larger volume of loads to be wrapped, it can be difficult for a hand stretch wrapper to uniformly wrap every load the same. A machine can create a secure, uniform, and efficiently wrapped load in less time than any hand wrap can.

Custom Stretch Wrap

Millennium Packaging offers custom stretch films to make meeting your shipping needs easy and flexible.

A Note on Sustainability

Sustainability is more important now than ever before. It’s no secret that the packaging industry creates waste, but not all packaging is the same. As sustainable packaging becomes more of a focus industry- wide, our goal at Millennium Packaging is to help your company do more with less. We work hard to ensure that we are doing all we can to ensure that you are meeting your company’s sustainability goals.

From biodegradable stretch films to choosing to offer thinner, more durable products, we can help you keep your load safe throughout the shipping process while helping the planet. Stretch film and shrink bundling film are quick and cost-effective ways to achieve overall recycled content targets. Rest assured, we will keep working on new and innovative ways to increase sustainability across all our product lines because our planet matters to us all.

Check out our Bio-V sustainable stretch film. This film is the first truly biodegradable and recyclable stretch film on the market. The science behind Bio-V stretch film lies in the multi-layered films made of Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) resin, which allows this product to degrade fast and efficiently.

In addition to the makeup of our products, we offer many additional ways to maintain sustainability in the everyday use of our products. Our stretch film has excellent stretch ability and superior elastic recovery, which helps to decrease the amount of film that is used per load. If you can use less stretch wrap per load, you automatically decrease your waste and save on your shipping costs.
