Stretch film is available in different thicknesses and widths to accommodate various wrapping needs and types of goods.
Thickness is typically expressed in microns or gauge, with standard stretch film thicknesses is 12-30 microns(μm) or 50 gauge – 120 gaude.
Width is usually between 12 to 20 inches (30 to 50 cm) and can be customized according to specific requirements.
Thickness:
Different thicknesses offer varying levels of strength and protection.
Thicker films, such as 20-35 μm(80-140 gauge), are suitable for heavy or sharp-edged items, providing enhanced puncture resistance, the film which allows it to handle heavier loads.
Thinner films, like 10-15 microns(40-90 gauge), are ideal for lighter items or when cost-efficiency is prioritized.
Width:
Stretch film comes in various widths, typically 12 inches (30 cm) to 20 inches (50 cm).
The choice of width depends on the size and dimensions of the items being wrapped.
Opt for wider widths when packaging larger or bulkier items for better coverage and stability.
How To Calculate The Required Stretch Film Specifications
|
Weight Calculation |
Length Calculation |
|
Weight = Length (m) * thickness (um) * width (cm) * 0.918 |
Length = Weight(kg) / thickness (um) / width (cm) / 0.918 |
|
Give an Example : |
|
|
550m length, 22um thickness, 50CM width, the weight is about 5.5 kgs. (550*0.022*0.5*0.918=5.5) |
|
|
3 kgs weight, 22um thickness, 50CM width, the length is about 297m. (3/0.022/0.5/0.918=297) |
