How tough are Easiwrap International products?

Easiwrap and Superstretch have twice the puncture and nick resistance of conventional films. One of the inherent application issues with stretch film is puncture and nicking that cause damaged rolls.

Puncturing: When applying film on a pallet with irregular edges, conventional film has a tendency to puncture and tear across the web as the selector is stretching the film. That means the selector has to start the pallet over again, leading to poor productivity. Because of the shrinking characteristics of Easiwrap and Superstretch, and the 300 per cent bilateral stretch, the product conforms to irregular edges without tearing and the net result is higher productivity and a high level of selector confidence.

Nicking: Conventional films are very susceptible to edge nicking and damage because as the film is being applied, the selector has a tendency to nick or bang or drop the film. This means the selector has to unravel hundreds of feet of film to get to usable product on the roll or he has to throw out the balance of the roll, resulting in wasted film and higher costs. Easiwrap products solve this problem.

How does puncture resistance affect productivity?

It means the selector can wrap irregular loads, which is a difficult thing to do with other stretch films. Easiwrap products are stretch films that act like shrink film, as the film is shrinking around a pallet, it’s also shrinking in a bilateral direction so that the product itself will conform to irregular edges as opposed to puncturing when it gets to these edges. It accommodates irregular edges rather catching on them and tearing.

What makes Easiwrap and Superstretch more durable?

An active resin is used in Easiwrap’s patented manufacturing process. Easiwrap’s unique puncture resistance also means that if the material is punctured it will stay local and not spread across the web, causing the material to break.
