They simply refer to stretch film that is used as an alternative to tape. The products we offer are either 3” or 5” wide. Cast Film Cast film has superior appearance thanks to high clarity and gloss. It is also stiffer, makes less noise as it is applied, and the gauge is easier to control in production. All cast film is coextruded and has a natural resistance to unzipping due to its orientation. 70 - 85% of all stretch film sold is cast. Blown Film Most blown film is mono layer extruded. It can have better puncture resistance than comparable gauge cast film. It tends to be louder when applied but also hazier. Pre-Stretched Film When manufactured, Pre Stretch Film is stretched close to its ultimate break point prior to being wound onto rolls for final use. This means the film doesn't require as much stretching energy as a standard stretch film to achieve the same wrapping force. This is a key reason why pre-stretched films are popular for hand wrap. In fact, with pre-stretched wrap, hand applications can create the same load stability as machine applications. Users get the same (or better) load stability with less product, less physical energy, and greater control. Pre-stretched film consumption can be less to one half that of traditional stretch film. This creates a cost savings of anywhere from 25% - 40%. Pre-stretched film has rolled edges and has air blown into the roll to support the middle of the roll from telescoping down. These two processes together make it almost impossible to damage the roll edge when dropping it. Traditional stretch film rolls often are thrown away because the user drops them and damages the edge. Lower torque requirements allow users to walk forward instead of backward during application – making for safer and easier control. The roll is lighter (about 2/3 less than traditional film) and easier to manage. It’s about half the thickness and double the strength.
