Stretch wrapping film packaging can effectively protect goods, prevent rain, water and moisture, increase the added value of goods, and reduce packaging costs by more than 50%. Due to the different manufacturers of stretch film, the stretch wrap film price will also have a certain difference. The stretch wrap film price is determined by many factors, which should be discussed with you.

Stretch film, also known as heat-shrinkable film, was earlier in China to use PVC as the base material, DOA as the plasticizer and self-adhesive effect to produce PVC stretch film. Due to environmental problems, high cost (large relative PE ratio, less unit packaging area), poor stretchability and other reasons, when the domestic production of PE stretch film began in 1994 to 1995, it was gradually eliminated. PE stretch film first used EVA as the self-adhesive material, but its cost was high and tasted. Later, PIB and VLDPE were used as self-adhesive materials. The base material was mainly LLDPE, including C4, C6, C8 and metallocene PE ( MPE).

In the early days, LLDPE stretch films were mostly blown films, and developed from single-layer to two-layer and three-layer; LLDPE stretch films were mainly produced by casting method because the casting line production has the advantages of uniform thickness and high transparency, which can be It is suitable for the requirement of high ratio pre-stretching. Since single-layer casting cannot achieve single-sided adhesion, the application field is limited. The material selection of single-layer and double-layer casting is not as wide as that of three-layer casting, and the formula cost is also high, so the structure of three-layer co-extrusion is still ideal. A good stretch film should have the characteristics of high transparency, high longitudinal elongation, high yield point, high transverse tear strength, and good puncture performance. Widely used in papermaking, logistics, chemicals, plastic raw materials, building materials, food, glass, etc.

The stretch wrap film price on the market is also different. The stretch wrapping film has different prices on the market according to different uses. The price of raw materials, different thicknesses, widths, weights, and machine/hand use will also affect the price. like:

  1. PE transparent stretch film, 19um thin, 50cm length, the price is $6.3;
  2. The stretch wrapping film with a high-viscosity PE extension of 91.4 has a specification of 2.8KG/roll and a price of $6.6;
  3. It is a waterproof stretch wrap film for industrial machines, with a thickness of 0.02mm, 5kg/roll, and a price of $9.2;
  4. And some anti-dust and waterproof stretch wrapping films for pallet packaging, the thickness is 0.02mm-0.025mm, 2.8kg/roll, the price is $5.9;
  5. The raw material of the stretch film is ethylene. One ton of raw material can produce about 998 kg of stretch film. The recent increase in international oil prices will also cause the price of stretch film to fluctuate. The price of raw materials is about $1587, and we often hear that the customer market is generally $2460 gross weight per ton.

| How to calculate the stretch wrap film price?

  1. If it is sold by volume, there will be a suspicion of lack of weight.
    Recently, the raw materials have risen, and the price of stretch film is calculated by weight, and the price is unstable.
  2. If it is sold by kilograms, it is the most common method and the most intuitive. It is clear when you use an electronic scale. Of course, the thickness must be specified. For the same weight, the length difference between 17 microns and 25 microns is 30%. The original monthly consumption is 3000 kg, but now 2100 kg is enough. Here we tell you a calculation method! Weight of wrapping film = length * thickness * density. That is: thickness (mm) * length (m) * 0.92 = weight (KG). Under normal circumstances, it is more convenient to calculate according to the above formula, and it will not be easily fooled. For the specific calculation method, you can also refer to how much a kilogram of stretch film is for a unified description.
  3. It is most cost-effective to trade by meter, because when wrapping and packing, the most important thing is the number of meters. If you don’t believe me, here is an example: Take a roll of 2.3kg net weight as an example, 18 microns thick, 450mm wide, and 300 meters long. Take a roll of 12KG as an example, 23 microns thick, 500mm, and the length is 1100 meters.

| Advantages of Sinyar Packing Film:

  1. Stretch packaging saves raw materials than shrink packaging, and does not require a heat shrink packaging machine, saving energy.
  2. High strength, large elastic tension, can be tightly wrapped for any geometric shape of the product, and can avoid the damage to the product caused by bundling, and has good anti-loose, rain-proof, dust-proof, anti-theft and other effects.
  3. High-performance resins and accessories can be used to meet the needs of different users to the greatest extent.
  4. It can manufacture single-sided sticky products, reduce the noise during winding and stretching, and reduce dust and sand during transportation and storage.
