Unleashing the Power of Stretch Film for Packaging

In modern logistics, manufacturing, and warehousing, stretch film stands at the heart of secure and efficient pallet wrapping. This versatile plastic wrap delivers load stability, resistance, and cost-effectiveness—especially when sourced from industry leaders like Taigan M‑Stretch.Taigan’s T.Nano cast stretch film, produced on 33-, 55-, and 67-layer extruders, embodies the future of smart wrapping. It offers superior strength, thinner gauge, and eco-conscious performance — even saving up to 25% on material usage. When combined with the company’s end-to-end support—including training, recycling, and logistics—Taigan empowers businesses with packaging that’s stronger, greener, and more efficient.

1. What Is Stretch Film?

Stretch film—often referred to as pallet wrap or stretch wrap—is a highly elastic plastic film designed for securely wrapping products on pallets. It delivers several critical functions:

  • Holds loads firmly for transport
  • Prevents shifting, jostling, and collapse
  • Protects from dust, moisture, and tampering
  • Supports automated wrapping processes

Taigan’s stretch film is produced via multi-layer cast extrusion using advanced machinery, resulting in ultra-strong, puncture-resistant rolls. Their formulation ensures high load retention using less material — a key differentiator in sustainable packaging solutions 


2. Taigan’s Advanced Stretch Film: T.Nano Innovations

2.1 Multi-Layer Cast Extrusion

Taigan’s T.Nano films are extruded in 33, 55, or 67 layers, delivering exceptional strength and consistency. More layers mean:

  • Better tear resistance
  • Uniform performance

Ability to maintain integrity even at lower thicknesses

2.2 Thinner, Tougher, Eco-Friendly Film

Taigan’s stretch film is up to 25% thinner while maintaining tensile strength. This gives businesses:

  • Reduced plastic usage
  • Lower packaging costs
  • Reduced carbon footprint and logistical savings

2.3 30% Post-Consumer Recycled Content

Their hand-wrapper rolls include 30% post-recyclable waste, are pre-stretched to 300%, and use folded-edge technology for durability—significantly reducing waste and improving yield 

2.4 Machine and Hand Wrapper Compatibility

T.Nano machine rolls are optimized for both semi-auto and automatic lines. Hand-wrapper versions offer improved handling and strength 

2.5 Color Coding & Safety

Taigan’s rolls are color-coded for easy identification of film types and properties, reducing handling errors.


3. Benefits of Using Taigan Stretch Film

3.1 Cost Savings

Thinner, multi-layer T.Nano stretch film yields a material reduction of up to 25%. That’s substantial savings on large volumes of pallets 

3.2 Load Stability & Protection

Advanced puncture and slip resistance helps keep pallets intact and reduces product loss during transit.

3.3 Operational Efficiency

Pre-stretched hand wrappers mean less manual effort; machine rolls improve throughput across automatic wrapping systems.

3.4 Sustainability Leadership
