For airplane passengers, luggage security is an aspect that cannot be ignored. The risk of luggage opening during the loading and unloading process, being exposed to rain in open areas, and the potential theft of contents are still common concerns. Well, have you ever seen a suitcase wrapped tightly in plastic when you’re at the airport? That’s stretch film, which plays a role in ensuring the safety and integrity of luggage during the shipping process or when your luggage moves from one country to another.
Stretch film is a transparent elastic plastic that can stretch and wrap items tightly. This film is usually made of LLDPE (Linear Low-Density Polyethylene) material which has high tensile strength, puncture resistance, and the ability to glue items without additional glue. The following are the uses of stretch film at the airport, namely:
✈️ Protecting Luggage from Damage
Your luggage will go through many moving, conveyor, and arranging processes on board. Stretch film helps reduce the risk of your luggage being opened or damaged when crushed.
✈️ Reduces the Risk of Losing Items
Stretch film helps ensure all contents of the suitcase stay in place even if the suitcase opens due to zipper damage.
✈️ Protects Against Water and Dust
When it rains during baggage transfer, stretch film helps protect the suitcase from water seepage and dirt.
✈️ Easy to Remove on Arrival at Destination
Stretch film is easy to remove without damaging the suitcase making it convenient for passengers when collecting luggage at their destination.
Using stretch film at the airport is not just about wrapping your luggage, it’s about protection, efficiency and peace of mind during your air travel. With stretch film, the risk of damage or loss of items can be minimized, so you can focus on enjoying your trip safely. Stretch film is a practical protector that helps keep your luggage safe and comfortable throughout the flight process. Whether for personal baggage or cargo shipments, stretch film has become an essential part of airport operational systems.
