Shrink film comes in two basic varieties: single-wound (flat) polythene tubing slit on both sides, creating two sheets on top of each other and wound separately and centrefold slit on one side before winding so that a long sheet is formed, that opens out to twice the film width.


Stretch Wrap

Stretch wrap is a polyethylene plastic, also referred to as pallet wraps or hand wrap, generally used to hold boxes on a pallet for transport. Stretch wrap is pulled around the load and stretched.
