Before the shipment process, the items are packed properly in corrugated boxes and stacked upon one another. This can cause either the damage of the items within the boxes or the hampering of the boxes itself. In order to avoid such situations, packaging industries use innovative methods to ensure the safety of the goods and their packaging.
STRETCH FILM
A stretch film or wrap is a stretchable plastic film that is used to wrap products to keep them in place securely. They are commonly used in shipping pallets to keep products and boxes locked in during the shipment process. Not only do they pack products properly but also reduce product loss during the loading and unloading of boxes. Stretch films are a must-have for all E-Commerce Packaging Solutions industries.
Stretch films are available in different grades, widths and colors to meet different applications and requirements. They are quite similar to the plastic wraps we use in the kitchen but stretch films are heavy duty and quite strong enough to bundle products together and keep them in place.
