Hand Stretch Film

Hand stretch film is considered any stretch film roll that is easily applied by hand. Most hand stretch film rolls weigh less than ten pounds. Hand rolls can come in a variety of widths, but the most common widths are 15 and 18-inch wide rolls. Hand stretch rolls can be applied with or without a stretch film dispenser. The dispensers often have a braking system to help obtain a tighter stretch when applying the film.

Hand stretch film making raw materials: usually used low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and tackifier made. Easy to stretch, the tensile rate is 0-15%.

Hand-wrapping In a low-volume operation, pallet stretch wrap applied manually is a great solution. Manual stretch film is much lighter and easier to wield than machine stretch wrap. It’s still very effective for securing items on a pallet, especially in the hands of someone aware of the proper hand stretch wrap technique.

Hand PE stretch film is mainly used in hardware, mineral, chemical, pharmaceutical, food, machinery and other products on the whole package. Moistureproof, and dustproof, reduce labor, not only effectively improving work efficiency, but also protecting products, and reducing costs. In particular, it can be used in cargo palletizing and transportation operations to achieve the best effect of palletizing.

We also offer a variety of stretch film dispensers to assist in applying your stretch film. Our standard gauged stretch film offers up to a 300% stretch rate. The ability to have a braking system when applying the film is important to eliminate waste.

How to calculate the required stretch film specifications?

What is the difference between hand stretch film and machine stretch film？

1. The difference in tensile strength. Most of the stretch film is the tape casting process. Machine stretch film material is now with polypropylene mixed with metallocene, so can have high tensile strength and other characteristics, and the product is very stable, especially uniform thickness, so can reduce the overall cost; The hand stretch film is made of polyethylene, easy to stretch, but the stretching rate is 0-150%.
2. The packaging of different ways.
   1. Manual packaging is the most simple way of packaging stretch film, more suitable for the use of hand stretch film. The use of manual stretch film is scattered products firmly wrapped into a whole, in order to improve the efficiency of handling work, to avoid scattered and lost. Whether it is used for product packaging or pallet packaging, can achieve a moisture-proof, dust-proof role. The advantage of using hand grade stretch film is that it can work anytime, anywhere, does not need to move to a specific location to pack, is less used area, suitable for a small number of customers and customers with limited origin use.
   2. Machine stretch film is the need to wrap the object in the middle of the turntable, through the turntable motor start, drive the turntable rotation, naturally wrapped in the film evenly around the surface of the object. At the same time, the elevator motor also starts and drives the stretch film frame to move up and down, thus reaching the stretch film in the direction of the object’s height. This realizes the stretch film packaging of the entire surface of the object, which is used by customers with large amounts of consumption, it is generally recommended to use machine wrap, can reduce the labor force, and machine stretch film than artificial wrap a little tighter, use machine stretch film a person can complete all actions. The machine-used stretch wrap film needs to rely on the winding machine to use, can complete the packaging automation, and is suitable for the use of large quantities, the use of high frequency or high level of automation units.
3. Different price, due to the machine stretch film with the hand stretch film production process is not the same. Machine stretch films are slightly more expensive than hand stretch films.

 

Hand Stretch Film Advantages

• Low pallet volume. Easy-to-use material.
• Operational set-up does not support wrapping in specific locations.
• Variability in package integrity is acceptable to the customer
• Limited warehouse space. Reduced Loads Wrapped per Hour (Labor Cost)
• Pallets are too unstable to transport to a stretch wrapper
• No upfront equipment costs or maintenance because of downtime

 

Can also be made according to customer demand by printing stretch film with logo, color stretch film, anti-UV stretch film, etc., and packaging cartons and paper tubes can be customized according to requirements.

What is nano stretch film?

Nano stretch film-full name is, nano-layer extrusion stretch film, 55 layers nano stretch film through nano-layer co-extrusion technology, 55 layers of film, a variety of materials (PP, PEO, etc.) composite layer extrusion molding, the single layer formed is a high strength and high toughness stretch film with a thickness of nanometer and a number of 55 layers.

55-layer nano stretch film advantages:
1, Compared with the common co-extruded film technology to produce a higher number of layers, generally in 2-17 layers;
2. The more layers, the better the physical and mechanical properties of the film material, mainly in the elongation, the geometric multiples of the increase, and can withstand a higher load and puncture strength;
3. Because of the problem of production technology, it is very difficult to achieve complete thickness uniformity, even in the extrusion process, discontinuous situation. And manufacturing costs are high. In addition, the material will have a high amount of oxygen intake (meaning that there may be invisible to the naked eye small bubbles) ;
4. The current advanced nano-film technology is 55 layers, an overall thickness of 12-20 microns, and the overall thickness is lower than the ordinary film.

55 layers of nano stretch film are made out of?
Our products are produced by the German company W & H, this year is the 150th anniversary of the establishment of W & H, which is a true sense of the centenary of the company, is the world-famous packaging equipment manufacturers, in casting/blowing film/printing/bag-making are in the world leading level.

55-layer nano stretch film is widely used
The 55-layer nano stretch film is suitable for all kinds of winding equipment, the higher the equipment configuration, the better the performance, suitable for high-speed ring winding machines, cantilever winding machines, single machines, manual and so on

55-layer nano stretch film cost-effective value
● use less material than the same year, save money!
● safer and stronger packaging;
● reducing equipment losses
● reduce membrane consumption and be more environmentally friendly.

What’s the difference between stretch film and Pre-stretch film?

1. Stretch and wrap film is a packing method that stretches and tightly wraps elastic film around the package at room temperature and seals it at its end. Since stretch wrap does not require heat, the energy consumption is only 1/20 of shrink wrap. Stretch and wrap packaging can be used to bind and pack a single item, and can also be used for collective packaging such as pallet packaging, which can achieve the purpose of saving energy, reducing packaging costs, reducing transportation losses and improving logistics efficiency.
2. The actual packaging area of the pre-stretch film is about 3 times that of the traditional wrap film in the market under the same weight low price, good quality, environmental protection and easy use. Compared with the stretch film, the cost saving is considerable. Moreover, the pre-stretch film is a high-strength pre-stretched single-sided adhesive stretch film, which is quite convenient to use and saves labor and money. The outer surface of the package is not easy to stick dust, clean and sanitary.
3. The pre-stretch film with a thickness of 0.007mm(7μm) can achieve the stability and protection performance of conventional film packaging of 18~20μm. This product is a new technology product in China, compared with the traditional winding film, packaging the same goods, less consumption, and low cost! Prestretch film, is a new generation of green environmental protection prestretch films recently developed abroad. The product uses a new drawing process to make the original parent film lighter and thinner, but its physical tensile strength and wrapping force are basically unchanged. And no special packaging equipment, suitable for manual packaging, saving time, labor and money!

How to identify the quality of the stretch film?

The stretch film has a primary protective property that provides surface protection, forming a light, protective appearance around the product, so as to achieve dust-proof, oil-proof, moisture-proof, waterproof, and theft-proof purposes.

1. To observe the hardness of the stretch film and its thickness; a good stretch film hand will feel more robust and is full of elasticity, on the contrary, the difference between the film is relatively soft, without the above characteristics. Thickness, good product use layer thickness of rubber thickness will exceed 0.125, poor materials will be thin

2. To observe the rainbow pattern; good stretch wrap film, whether outdoors or in an energy-saving lamp with strong light, almost no rainbow pattern, On the contrary, as long as the poor stretch film is under the strong energy-saving lamp, you can see very clearly, just like soap bubbles.
