In logistics and supply chain operations, stretch film as tertiary packaging plays a crucial role in protecting goods during storage and transportation. Stretch film is commonly used to wrap pallets, keeping products stable, secure, and protected from dust and moisture.
Tertiary packaging refers to the outermost layer used for bulk handling and distribution. Unlike primary and secondary packaging, its main purpose is to ensure stability and safety of goods in large quantities. Stretch film is widely used due to its elasticity, strength, and ability to cling without additional adhesives.
