Stretch Wrap is manufactured in two different methods which
gives the film different properties, they are commonly referred
to as cast and blown. Within these two film categories, there
are several types of stretch wrap with different resin technology
and performance levels.
What is Blown Film?
Our blown films are created by forcing molten resin through a
circular die, creating a bubble tube which is blown over 30 feet
high. The bubble is then flattened and produced into rolls of
film. The molecule structure of blown film is criss-crossed which
means when tensioned, it locks in very hard so therefore has a
lower stretch yield compared to cast films. Blown film is known
to be tough, slightly tacky and have a hazy surface. The double
sided tack gives off noise whilst being applied to product.
Types of Omni Blown Stretch Film:
· Viper Wrap Hand & Machine rolls available in Black and Clear
· Conventional Blown Wrap Hand & Machine rolls available in Clear
· Coloured Blown Wrap Hand & Machine rolls available in Black, White,
Blue, Red, Yellow, Green
What is Cast Film?
Our cast films are created by molten resin operated through
a large extruder which forces a thin layers of film to be then
cooled and laminated into layers. This multi layered film is
then rolled onto cores. The molecule structure of cast film run
parallel down the film which means when tensioned that
direction, it has a very high stretch yield of up to 400%.
Cast film has high clarity and quiet application due to
it lower on single sided tack.
