Considerations to Choose the Right Stretch Film for Your Operation

Written by Epsilon Team | Nov 17, 2025 3:53:32 PM

Choosing the right stretch film is not a decision to take lightly.

Efficient, safe, and cost-effective packaging depends directly on the type of film you use—its gauge, resistance, stretch capacity, and whether the application is manual or automatic.

What should you consider when choosing your stretch film?

1. Type of load and required protection level 📦

Are you transporting light, uniform loads or heavy, irregular ones? This influences the gauge, stretch level, and tear resistance your operation needs. For example, our Ultra High Performance Stretch Film offers strong load containment with less material, making it ideal for demanding loads.

2. Type of application: manual or automatic ✋

For low-volume operations, Manual Stretch Film is an economical and practical solution. However, if you work with high-speed wrapping machines, our Automatic and Pre-Stretched Films —available with PCR content or in a conventional version— optimize application, reduce waste, and improve efficiency.

 

3. Environmental conditions and pallet type  🚛

Factors such as temperature, humidity, or transport distance require a film with specific properties. At Epsilon, we offer formulations designed for demanding industrial environments, ensuring reliable performance under any condition.

4. Commitment to sustainability 🍃

If your company has defined environmental goals, choose a stretch film that aligns with them, such as our Stretch Film with recycled content (PCR) or Coreless Film to reduce cardboard core waste. Our Pre-Stretched Film is also a sustainable option, as it reduces material consumption per pallet.

At Epsilon, we manufacture options that integrate post-consumer materials, helping you reduce your environmental footprint without compromising performance.
