Colored Stretch Film for Easy Identification & Protection
Colored stretch films offering dual benefits of securing palletized loads while providing color-coded organization. Available in various colors such as red, blue, green, yellow, and black these films are widely used for inventory management, allowing businesses with various needs like quickly identify products, segregate shipments, or designate specific loads for different destinations. Made of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) combined with UV protection & puncture resistant properties made it an ideal choice to maintain integrity of the goods. Based on every unique business requirement protection, transparency, handling, effectiveness of packaging is well maintained.
Opaque (black or white) stretch films are used in place for safeguarding high-value/sensitive shipments by hiding their contents from view, reducing the risk of theft or tampering. With clear/transparent films the inspection of wrapped goods is much easier without much hassle. Colored stretch films with UV-resistant properties can protect products stored outdoors from prolonged sun exposure. Compatible with manual, semi automatic or fully automatic machine stretch wrapping applications. By incorporating colored stretch film into packaging workflows, businesses can enhance supply chain efficiency, improve inventory control while ensuring protection and security of their shipments.
