The most common types of stretch film are cast and blown films. 

Cast films have a higher tensile strength, which means they’re more durable and can protect packages better against punctures. They also generally contain fewer impurities than blown films, resulting in fewer product inconsistencies. 

Blown films, on the other hand, provide good cling for optimal wrapping performance and can be stretched beyond 600%. Be sure to read up on the specifications before making a decision!

Precocity has Cast, Blown, as well as Micron types of pallet stretch films available. New film formulations (Mic) now allow for thinner films to do the same jobs that regular films do for big money savings. Pre stretched films are also available.

If you’re packing products for shipment, you’ll want to make sure that they arrive at their destination in good shape. Choosing the right type of stretch film is key to keeping your packages secure, so it’s important to understand the different types of stretch film available and the benefits they offer.
