Stretch wrap, commonly referred to as thin-gauge stretch film, is a specialized packaging material made to hold and safeguard a variety of items during storage and transportation. Contrary to conventional thick films, thin-gauge stretch film is a lightweight, economical option that maximizes material efficiency while providing great load stability.
High-quality linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) resins are processed utilizing cutting-edge extrusion processes to create this kind of stretch film. A thin, strong film with remarkable stretchability and puncture resistance is the end result. To meet varying load requirements and desired widths and thicknesses, thin-gauge stretch film is commonly offered.
Thin-gauge stretch film is mostly used to firmly wrap around palletized items in order to keep them together and prevent movement or tampering while in transit. It offers a reliable and secure method of unitizing goods, lowering the danger of damage and guaranteeing the integrity of the cargo.
Because the film is stretchable, it may closely fit to the shape of the products, providing improved load containment. Additionally, thin-gauge stretch film benefits companies looking to raise their sustainable profile. Utilizing thinner films allows businesses to use less material, which reduces waste output and carbon emissions during manufacture and disposal.
The Global Thin-gauge stretch film market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Power Edge PCR, the first-of-its-kind thin-gauge stretch film with a circularity focus, has been launched by Paragon Films, a market-leading manufacturer of value-added, ultra-high performance stretch film products.
The 27.5 gauge handfilm is the newest product to be added to Paragon's SVPR (Sustainability: Virgin Plastic Reduction) product range, which also includes thin-gauge, ultra-high performance stretch films that allow for severe down-gauging and usage of less virgin plastic.
In a market where PCR (post-consumer resin) films have historically found the most success in thicker-gauge films, Power Edge PCR presents a thin-gauge offering. Power Edge PCR employs less virgin plastic than any other handfilm on the market, with a content of 25% PCR and 75% virgin resin amounting to 20.6 gauge.
