Stretch wrap—also known as stretch film—is a highly extensible plastic film used to wrap items. Its elastic recovery properties allow it to bind items together tightly.

It is commonly used for unitizing palletized goods, as well as for bundling smaller items. The purpose of stretch wrap is to encase one or more products, providing stabilization and protection, while also deterring tampering or theft.

There are two primary methods for pallet wrapping: vertical wrapping and horizontal wrapping. As the highly extensible film is applied to the items, its tension provides an additional layer of protection. It should be noted that products unable to withstand the tension of the film may be damaged; therefore, it is crucial to ensure that the product packaging remains stable and intact both before and during the wrapping process.
