The Clear Stretch Film sticks to itself (no tape required) to create a tight, stable closure, and its 17cm gauge provides strength – needless to say, it is puncture-resistant and tear-free. This keeps the palletized goods clean, dry, and visible (labels/barcodes can easily be read through the transparent film) during storage and shipping.
Key Features
- Extremely Strong: This clear stretch film is tough but flexible and is 17 000 meters thin. It is resistant to puncture and tearing when loaded and protects products against rough handling.
- Superior Cling: The cast film adhesively sticks to itself, forming a tight wrap that stabilizes pallets. This self-adhesion does not require any other adhesive to hold boxes and items.
- Crystal Clarity: The crystal-clear material is more transparent to make the packaged items visible; the labels and barcodes can be read and easily scanned.
- Extended Core (Easy to Use): The 3-inch core allows operators to palletize pallets manually without the use of a machine. According to Packaging2Buy, an extended core stretch film can be hand applied more easily and quietly in comparison to other types of core stretch film.
- Cold-Resistant: Designed to work in cold environments, this clear stretch film has even seen use in cold-chain applications. As an example, it is now widely used in the food industry due to its low-temperature tolerance.
- Bulk Value Pack: 6 rolls per box reduces the frequency of reorders and results in a reduction in the price per roll. The bulk format is best suited to companies that require a regular supply and price reduction.
Applications & Use Cases of Clear Stretch Film
- Warehousing & Logistics: Perfect when it comes to unitizing pallet loads in distribution centers and storage areas. It covers pallets (or irregularly shaped stacks) in order to keep goods compact. Most suppliers in the UK mention that loads are covered with pallet wrap to avoid being exposed to moisture, dust, and weather during transit.
- Shipping/Transport: Ideal with trucks, containers, or lorries. The transportation process is continuous, with loads constantly in motion. Freight companies and couriers also use it to secure boxes and products on pallets for safe delivery.
- Retail and wholesale: Secures merchandise delivery to stores and chain outlets. Store large items or box cartons with it. The stretch wrap is clear, allowing retailers to check products without unwrapping.
- Assembly and manufacturing: Good with a pallet of raw materials or finished products. Stocks parts on manufacturing levels. Also, packages equipment or machinery parts to be shipped between plants.
- General Packing: This is used when wrapping furniture, appliances, or any other large item that is being moved. This clear stretch film, says one supplier, is ideal for a range of things, including pallets and furniture as well as appliances. Packaging experts also recommend it to warehouses, shipping companies, and moving services.
- Loss/damage Prevention: Use to prevent pilferage and tampering. The clear stretch film is often applied to retail goods to prevent theft (customers cannot remove the goods easily without destroying the wrap).
Why Choose This Clear Stretch Film
- Bulk Savings: Purchasing a 6-roll pack helps to reduce expenses. Six-roll bundles are frequently discounted by UK suppliers (e.g., one supplier has a pack priced at £36 ex-VAT, 20% off RRP). This distributes the cost across a series of pallets and lowers the price per roll.
- UK Stock & Support: This clear stretch film is sourced locally in the UK and is available quickly to dispatch. A significant number of providers of packaging in the UK can dispatch products within a day before early afternoon. As an example, Crystal Mailing offers free (2-3 days) UK mainland delivery (next-day courier services are available).
- Consistent Production: Development cast film is of a consistent quality. As Fosseway Tapes points out, the 17 μm film ensures a strong and robust film that can withstand punctures and tears to keep loads intact. The movie is not flattened at the middle, as even mixed pallet layers are tightly clenched.
- Extended Core Design: The added extended (3 inches) core, as opposed to a flush-core machine roll, allows workers to easily wrap pallets manually. This ergonomic grip increases the speed of manual wrapping and minimizes fatigue.
- Applicable use: Relied on different fields. According to packing experts, this is a transparent film that suits commercial use in warehouses, distribution, and manufacturing. The clarity and strength of it satisfy the requirements of logistics, retail, or any industry that requires safe pallet bundling.
Shipping & Availability (UK)
- UK Delivery Only: This is being kept in stock in the United Kingdom and being shipped there. (Not even international shipping is provided by default.)

It is a high-quality, clear stretch film pallet wrap that provides UK enterprises with an inexpensive and efficient way to wrap goods. This strength, in combination with its cling and ease-of-use, makes it ideal for packaging professionals in both logistics and manufacturing, as well as warehousing.
