Palletizing goods in the warehouse or coordinating the shipment of bundled product demands a film that stretches, grips, and withstands the trip without coming open at the first curve. This transparent hand stretch film—also called stretch film or pallet wrap—is manufactured by Fortemo from linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) in 80 gauge (20 µm), designed for professional palletizing in logistics, agribusiness, and commerce in the Dominican Republic.
Key Benefits
- High stretch capacity: the LLDPE formulation allows the material to elongate by several hundred percent during application, so a single roll covers more pallets without losing holding force.
- Cling grip onto itself: the inner face adheres to the film's own layer without touching the product, closing the pallet without leaving sticky residue on boxes, furniture, or merchandise.
- Tear resistance: the film withstands sharp corners, cardboard edges, and irregular edges of mixed goods without splitting open, reducing shrinkage from breakage during the operation itself.
- Full visibility: transparency keeps labels, barcodes, and inventory references legible without having to cut the packaging open at the logistics center.
- Professional-grade virgin polyethylene: 20 µm (80 gauge) on a 305 m roll, a standard logistics dimension that fits hand dispensers and wraps several pallets per roll without a changeover.
Typical Applications and Uses
- Palletizing general merchandise in warehouses, distribution centers, and e-commerce operations.
- Bundling boxes for consolidated shipments and load consolidation in inter-island transport.
- Wrapping furniture, appliances, and fragile product during moves and relocations.
- Securing pipes, profiles, and bundles of material in hardware, construction, and agribusiness.
Quality and Durability
The difference between a premium film and a generic one of the same nominal size lies in the base polymer and in control of the actual gauge. A budget film claims 20 µm but delivers thinner areas that break at the first pull. Fortemo works with virgin polyethylene and rolls of uniform gauge, which translates into fewer gaps in the pallet, less time lost rewrapping, and less loose product in the truck.
