LD Stretch for Packaging

Among the specialised plastic packaging systems, shrink packaging or commonly known as shrink wrapping and stretch wrapping are very common and widely used. Though there are some apparent similarities in the two systems, in overall analysis, they are considered to be totally different in terms of material and operation. In the case of shrink wrapping, shrink film is used as the basic material and heat forms an important part of the operation, whereas, in the case of stretch wrapping, stretch film is used as the basic material and no heat is applied during the operation.
