How is the stretch film packaging

Speaking of stretching film, I believe that the use of stretching film than I know, stretching film has become the leading product in the packaging industry this and its own advantages are inseparable! Tensile film is a new type of heat-shrinkable packaging material, because it is easy to recycle, non-toxic, tasteless, good mechanical properties, especially in line with environmental protection, etc. , in developed countries, polyester (PET) has become an ideal substitute for polyvinyl chloride PVC stretch membranes.

A wrap is a highly stretched plastic film that wraps around an object. Elasticity restores the tightness of an object. The shrink wrap is then applied loosely around a project and is tight with the heat shrink. It is usually used for uniform pallet loading, but can also be used for bundling smaller items. The types of winding films include bundled winding film, hand winding film, extended core winding film, and electrostatic dissipation film.

01  Ordinary pallet packaging

Ordinary tray packaging this kind of packaging is a simple stretch film packaging, film installed on the shelf or by hand, by the tray or film around the tray rotation. The package is similar to a shrink-wrap, which wraps the tray around the tray and then two hot paws heat-seal the film at both ends.

02 Small article packaging

This is a new packaging form of tensile film, can reduce the consumption of materials, but also reduce the storage space of pallets, this form of packaging has great potential. This is the latest form of wrapping film packaging, both to reduce material consumption, but also can reduce the storage space of pallets, in foreign countries, this kind of packaging was first introduced in 1984, only a year later, there are many such packaging on the market, this form of packaging has great potential. Suitable for film thickness of 15-30 μm;

03 Pallet mechanical packaging

Pallet mechanical packaging is a wide range of mechanical packaging form, by the pallet rotation or film around the pallet rotation, film fixed on the bracket can move up and down. The packaging of the stretch film shall be stretched, and the mechanical packaging of the pallet shall be stretched in the form of direct stretching and pre-stretching. Pre-stretching is divided into two kinds, one is roller pre-stretching, one is electric stretching. Direct stretching is done between the tray and the membrane. This method has low draw ratio (about 15% ~ 20%) , if the draw ratio exceeds 55% ~ 60% , it exceeds the original yield point of the membrane, the membrane width reduces, the puncture performance also loses, the membrane is easy to break. And at 60% tensile rate, the tensile force is also very large, for light goods, it is likely to make the goods deformation. Pre-stretching is done by two rollers. The two rollers of the roll pre-stretching are connected by a gear unit. The drawing ratio can vary according to the gear ratio. The pulling force is generated by the rotary table, therefore, the width of the film does not shrink, and the original puncture performance of the film is also maintained. No stretching occurs during actual winding, reducing the breakage due to sharp edges or corners. This pre-stretching can increase the draw ratio to 110% . The drawing mechanism of electric pre-drawing is the same as that of roller pre-drawing, but two rollers are driven by electric force. So more adaptable, light, heavy, irregular goods are applicable, because of low tension when packaging, so this method of pre-stretching ratio up to 300% , greatly saving materials to reduce costs. Suitable for film thickness of 15-24 μm. 

04 Horizontal mechanical packaging

Horizontal mechanical packaging is different from other packaging, by the film around the items, suitable for long goods packaging, such as carpet, plate, fiberboard, profiled materials.
