Reliable Stretch Film Supplier NZ for Warehouses and Logistics
Stretch film is one of the most widely used packaging materials across warehouses, factories, and distribution centres. It plays a vital role in protecting products during storage and transportation by keeping items tightly secured and stable.
At CustomPack, we supply high-quality stretch film solutions designed to meet the everyday packaging needs of businesses across New Zealand.
What Is Stretch Film?
Stretch film is a flexible plastic wrapping material, typically made from linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). It stretches and clings tightly around products, creating a secure wrap without the need for adhesives.
This tight wrapping prevents load shifting, reduces the risk of damage, and protects goods from dust and moisture during handling and transit.
Common Uses of Stretch Film
Stretch film is commonly used in:
Warehousing and logistics
Manufacturing facilities
Retail and wholesale distribution
Food and beverage operations
Shipping and export packaging
It is often used to wrap pallets, bundle cartons, and stabilise loads for safe transport.
Key Benefits of Stretch Film
Improves load stability during transport
Protects products from dust and moisture
Reduces damage caused by movement
Lightweight and cost-effective
Easy to apply and remove
These benefits make stretch film an essential part of modern packaging operations.
