Stretch film can be primarily categorized into three types: manual stretch film, machine stretch film, and special-purpose stretch film.
1. Manual Stretch Film
Manual stretch film is suitable for manual packaging operations. It is typically shorter than machine stretch film, generally ranging from 100 to 500 meters, and its width is typically narrower, only 10 to 20 cm. While the material is generally thinner, it still has a certain load-bearing capacity and is suitable for smaller packages.
2. Machine Stretch Film
Machine stretch film is suitable for use with automated wrapping machines. It is typically longer than manual stretch film, generally ranging from 500 to 2000 meters, and its width is generally wider, ranging from 50 to 80 cm. Machine stretch film is generally thicker but has a certain degree of transparency, making it suitable for medium to large packages.
3. Special-purpose Stretch Film
Special-purpose stretch film is designed for specialized packaging requirements. These films typically possess special properties, such as anti-static, transparency, moisture resistance, and UV resistance. Special purpose stretch films are made of different materials, including PP, PE, PVC and other types.
