Benefits of Blown Stretch Film
High puncture resistance
Blown stretch film can withstand pressure from sharp corners, protruding products and irregularly shaped loads. The film stretches around difficult areas and helps reduce the risk of a puncture developing into a larger tear.
Strong transverse strength
Transverse strength is the film’s resistance to splitting across its width.
This is particularly important when wrapping loads with sharp corners or products that may move sideways during handling and transport.
Excellent tear resistance
A small hole or puncture does not necessarily cause the whole film web to fail. Blown film is designed to resist tear propagation and remain intact around demanding loads.
Strong load-holding force
Blown machine stretch film applies firm and consistent holding pressure around the pallet.
This helps:
- Stabilise heavy loads.
- Reduce product movement.
- Support irregular pallet configurations.
- Maintain load security during storage and transport.
Good elastic recovery
After being stretched around the pallet, the film attempts to recover towards its original dimensions. This elastic recovery helps maintain pressure against the load if products settle or move during transport.
Suitable for difficult environments Blown machine stretch film is commonly used where the film must tolerate demanding handling, storage or transport conditions.
Suitable for:
Blown machine stretch film is suitable for:
- Building materials.
- Timber and board products.
- Metal components.
- Engineering products.
- Bricks, blocks and bagged materials.
- Irregular cartons and mixed pallets.
- Products with sharp or protruding edges.
- Heavy or unstable pallet loads.
- Agricultural applications – bale wrapping
- Loads exposed to repeated handling or long-distance transport.
