How to choose the correct thickness of stretch wrap film?

There are various thicknesses of wrapping film, and when purchasing, if you don't know which thickness to choose, it is very likely to buy too thin, which is easy to damage during use.

1. Handmade packaging
This type of packaging is a relatively simple stretch wrap packaging. The film is installed on the rack or handheld device, and the tray packaging material generates enterprise rotation or film rotation around the tray. It is mainly used for repackaging after the packaging tray is damaged, as well as ordinary tray packaging. The packaging speed is slow, and the suitable film thickness is 15-20um.

2. Sealed packaging
This type of packaging is similar to shrink wrap packaging. The film wraps the tray around it, and then two heat grippers heat seal the two ends of the film together. This is an early use of stretch wrap film, and now more and more packaging forms have been developed.

3. Full width packaging
This packaging requires the film width to cover the tray, and the shape of the tray is regular, suitable for film thicknesses of 17-35 microns.

4. Pipeline and cable packaging
The packaging equipment is installed at the end of the production line, and the fully automatic stretch wrap film can not only replace tape for wrapping, but also provide protection, with a suitable thickness of 15-30um.

5. Paper tube packaging
This is one of the new uses of wrapping film, which is better than old-fashioned cardboard packaging and suitable for film thicknesses of 30-120um.

The above is the relevant content introduced by everyone on the correct selection of stretch wrap film thickness, for your reference. Before purchasing, you should first understand what materials you need for packaging, and then make the correct choice to reduce film loss.
