As online shopping grows, shipping volumes increase. Business owners need to ensure products arrive safely and without damage. Stretch film is an effective packaging solution, offering protection, cost efficiency, and sustainability.
Stretch film, or stretch wrap, is an elastic plastic used to wrap and secure goods during storage and transportation. It is usually made of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). Here is the role of stretch film in e-commerce business:
- Product Protection
The main function of stretch film is to protect products from external factors such as dust, dirt and moisture. Furthermore, shipments are often transported by various carriers, where goods may be exposed to shocks, bumps and mechanical damage. Stretch film adheres perfectly to the product, minimizing the risk of goods movement and providing comprehensive protection.
- Cost Efficiency
Compared to other packaging methods, stretch film is a more cost-effective solution. Its minimal but effective use reduces the need for additional protective materials such as bubble wrap or excess cardboard.
- Ease in Storage and Handling
Stretch film makes it easier to store and handle packages, especially in warehouses or e-commerce distribution centers. Items wrapped with stretch film remain stable, reducing the risk of loss or damage during the logistics process.
Stretch film comes in different types and thicknesses. To wrap smaller items, use bundle tape, a mini size stretch film. For larger and heavier products, choose thicker stretch films such as hand roll and machine roll.
Also make sure the stretch film has water and dust resistance for extra protection. By choosing the appropriate type of stretch film, you can ensure a safe and reliable delivery. Be sure to always inspect the package before shipping to ensure maximum protection of the items being shipped.
