stretch film

Clingy packaging plastic

Stretch film is thin plastic sheeting that clings to itself when wrapped around objects, used primarily to secure loads on pallets for shipping and storage.

The material stretches as it's applied, creating tension that holds items tightly together.

Also called stretch wrap or pallet wrap.

We ran out of stretch film before finishing the shipment.
