Vented stretch films are specialty stretch films used for various purposes. It’s made from blown film, a process by which plastic is extruded through a die to create a bubble that is then flattened into sheeting. It’s often used in hand stretch film applications, offering excellent cling and strength while allowing air to escape during the stretching process. This helps to prevent the formation of bubbles or “fish eyes” when wrapping with hand stretch wrap – something that occurs more frequently when using non-vented films.
Vented stretch wrap plays an essential role in applications where high clarity and visibility are desired, such as with anti-static stretch wrap or cast stretch films. The vented version of these specialty stretch wraps provides an enhanced level of clarity while still maintaining its cling and strength characteristics. Vented cling stretch film is usually used to protect items from dust and moisture during transit and provide additional tamper-resistant qualities due to its clinging ability.
In addition, reinforced vented stretch films are available for extra puncture protection. These specialties stretch wrap provide added strength and tear resistance on top of their already superior cling properties. This makes them ideal for use when heavier loads need more protection against accidental tears or punctures during handling or shipping.
Overall, vented stretch film is an excellent option for many applications, offering superior cling and strength combined with the bonus of allowing airflow during application – making it easier to apply than standard non-vented versions while ensuring that items are kept safe and secure during transport.
