Wikkelfolie

Wikkelfolie, also known as stretch film or shrink wrap, is a plastic film used for wrapping items. It is typically made from polyethylene and is designed to stretch and cling to itself when tension is applied. This elasticity allows it to create a tight, secure wrap around objects of various shapes and sizes.

The primary function of wikkelfolie is to secure and stabilize loads. It is commonly used in warehousing and logistics to unitize palletized goods, preventing them from shifting or falling during transport. The film's ability to conform to the shape of the load ensures that even irregularly shaped items can be effectively secured. Beyond pallet wrapping, wikkelfolie finds applications in bundling smaller items, protecting products from dust, moisture, and minor damage during storage or transit, and in DIY projects for temporary sealing or covering.

Wikkelfolie is available in different thicknesses and strengths to suit various needs. It can be applied manually using hand dispensers or automatically with specialized machinery. The transparent nature of most wikkelfolie allows for easy identification of the wrapped items. It is a widely used and cost-effective packaging solution due to its versatility and protective qualities.
