Stretch wrap is a kind of elastic film that serves as a product cover or pallet wrap. Stretch wraps protect different materials and allow easier storage and shipping of contents of a package.

It is possible to manually stretch wrap different items; however, it is much more convenient and practical to use a special stretch wrap machine. There are basically three kinds of stretch wrap machines that you can use, namely manual, semi-automatic and automatic.

The manual machines require you to be present during the process of wrapping. As the operator, you have to affix the film to the item. You then have to either press a button or step on a switch to start wrapping. You also have to move the film by hand up and down to keep the machine turning.

On the other hand, semi-automatic machines have a built-in film feeder, which keeps the machine working even without an operator. You only have to affix the film to the carriage and press a button. The machine will then apply a specific number of wraps of the film to the item. After this, you will have to cut the film and press it over the load.

Meanwhile, the automatic machines require the least input from the operator. Using forklifts or a conveyor belt, the items are taken to the machines. You will only have to press the control button, and allow the machine to accomplish the entire wrapping process. Some machines even unload the item from the process line and close the machine automatically once the wrapping process is finished.

Some machines even offer additional features, such as adjustable speeds. When buying a stretch wrap machine, remember to consider the number of items you have to wrap. Manual stretch wrap machines are best used for wrapping small amounts of items, while semi-automatic and automatic machines are ideal for large numbers of items.

Using stretch wrap machines increases productivity by saving you a whole load of time and money. Try it!
