Yuhong Machine Stretch Films are designed for automated pallet wrapping applications where stable stretching, load containment, and consistent wrapping performance are important. Available in different formulations and structures, it can be selected for heavy loads, cost-conscious packaging, delicate products, warehouse identification, and other industrial packaging needs. As a China Machine Stretch Films Manufacturer, Yuhong provides machine-grade stretch film with customizable thickness, width, roll length, core size, and color to suit different wrapping equipment and packaging requirements.
Machine stretch film is an industrial packaging material designed specifically for automatic wrapping equipment. It secures goods tightly onto pallets through mechanical stretching, providing load stability, dust protection, moisture resistance, and theft deterrence. Unlike hand stretch film, machine-grade stretch film must maintain stable elongation performance and break resistance under high-speed operation to ensure uninterrupted packaging line productivity.
Key metrics for assessing stretch film quality include:
|
Evaluation Criterion |
Quality Standard |
|
Film Breakage Rate |
Should be below 1% on automated lines; premium products achieve below 0.5% |
|
Stretching Uniformity |
Smooth, wrinkle-free surface after stretching with even thickness |
|
Self-Adhesion |
≥1.0 N/cm² for secure load containment |
|
Puncture Resistance |
No rupture when wrapping sharp-edged loads |
|
Batch Consistency |
Stable performance with minimal parameter variation across rolls |
Machine Stretch Films achieve a breakage rate below 0.5% in actual factory operation tests, maintains stable performance across various rotary pallet wrappers, and delivers consistent results through extended production shifts.
Different packaging requirements call for different stretch film products. Below are Yuhong's four core machine stretch film series:
|
Product Type |
Best For |
Key Feature |
Technical Highlight |
Key Benefit |
|
Two-Sided Cling |
Heavy loads, long-distance transit |
Dual-side self-adhesive craft |
Self-adhesion ≥1.0 N/cm² (stronger than single-sided films) |
Prevents load shifting, eliminates orientation errors |
|
Down-Gauge |
Cost reduction, lower carbon footprint |
Thin-gauge (12–15 μm) with maintained strength |
Breaking load (MD) ≥11 N — equal to standard 20 μm film |
Saves ~20% material per tonne; reduces annual packaging cost |
|
Pre-Stretched |
Delicate loads, machine protection |
Factory pre-stretched to 200–250% |
Elongation at break (MD) ≥120%; CE-certified |
Lowers machine energy consumption by up to 40% per pallet |
|
Color-Tinted |
Warehouse sorting, cargo security, UV protection |
Available in black, blue, green, red (customizable) |
Shields goods from sunlight and dust; SGS tested quarterly |
Simplifies inventory management; deters theft |
Follow these four steps to ensure optimal performance with Yuhong machine stretch film on your automated wrapping line:
1. Mount the film roll evenly onto the machine mandrel — Secure it firmly to prevent wobble during high-speed rotation.
2. Run 2–3 test pallets at low speed before full production — Skipping this step is the #1 cause of film waste and unnecessary downtime on packaging lines.
3. Fine-tune tension settings while observing film stretch behavior — Adjust gradually until the film lays flat without wrinkles or excessive neck-in.
4. Increase to normal operating speed once stable performance is confirmed — Monitor the first full shift for any signs of breakage or inconsistent cling.
Yuhong stretch film doesn't just claim performance — it delivers measurable results in real production environments.
19% annual packaging cost reduction — Achieved by a construction supplies client after switching to Yuhong machine stretch film, with pallet load tightness and stability fully maintained.
50% fewer roll changes per shift — A manufacturing plant supervisor reported: "We used to change rolls twice per shift. After switching to Yuhong pre-stretched film, we only need one roll change, and downtime from film tearing has virtually disappeared."

Single-sided cling film has adhesion on one side only, suitable for standard wrapping. Two-sided cling stretch film offers adhesion on both sides with self-adhesion ≥1.0 N/cm², providing stronger load containment for heavy loads or long-distance transit, preventing shifting and orientation errors.
Yes. Yuhong down-gauge stretch film uses advanced material formulation at 12–15 μm thickness, achieving breaking load (MD) ≥11 N — equivalent to standard 20 μm film. It reduces plastic usage by ~20% per tonne while maintaining wrap tightness.
Pre-stretched film is factory-stretched to 200–250%, reducing the stretching load on machinery during operation. It lowers machine energy consumption by up to 40% per pallet, protects the motor, and extends equipment service life.
Yes. Color-tinted stretch film supports warehouse sorting by enabling quick identification of batches, grades, or delivery destinations. It also provides UV protection, dust shielding, and — in opaque colors like black — deters theft by concealing cargo contents.
Yes. Yuhong machine stretch film can be customized in width, thickness, roll length, core size, color, and functional additives (anti-static, UV stabilizers, etc.).
