What Is Stretch Film?
Stretch film, also called industrial pallet wrap, is a flexible plastic material used to secure and protect goods during transport or storage. Made from Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE), it offers excellent elasticity, strength, and clarity — making it essential for modern logistics and manufacturing.
Unlike shrink wrap, this packaging film doesn’t need heat to seal; it clings tightly to itself, forming a durable protective layer that stabilizes your load.
At HAPLAST GROUP, we produce and export high-quality packaging stretch wraps trusted by customers in more than 90 countries — delivering stability, consistency, and environmental responsibility.

Each type serves different business needs:
- Machine Wrap Film: For automatic wrapping systems — provides uniform tension and high speed.
- Hand Wrap Film: Ideal for manual wrapping and small operations.
- Pre-Stretched Film: Lightweight, easy to apply, and minimizes waste.
- Colored or UV-Resistant Wrap: For outdoor storage or branding.
