Consider Where to use Staples Stretch Film
The sturdy shrink wrap can withstand below-freezing temperatures, so important boxes will remain sealed when stored in the garage during the winter months. The flexible material is used to keep large pallets of inventory secure on warehouse storage shelves. A different color film can help you quickly recognize important packages and merchandise during shipping. A thin layer of film wrapped around pillows and blankets helps keep dust and dirt away from bedding when stored in the attic or basement.

Why are Some Alternative Uses for Shrink Wrap?
Shrink wrap is useful for personal and professional projects. Original artwork and first-edition books are often wrapped in shrink film to prevent any damage. Create celebratory gift baskets full of candles and other fun items, then secure it all in shrink film and add a bow for a finishing touch. Food-grade wrap is used to cover perishable items, like cheese and meat when stored in the refrigerator. The material is also used during environmental storms to protect windows and other parts of a building or boat during a hurricane or tornado.

What is the Difference Between Blown and Cast Stretch Film?
Both types of stretch film work differently. Blown wrap is created by blowing heated resin into a bubble and then slowly letting the material cool. The film clings well and resists puncture. Cast film is produced by delivering a sheet of heated resin through a system of cold rollers that chills the wrap. The result is a clear and glossy material that is easy to control, simple to stretch and quiet to unroll.

Is Shrink Wrap Recyclable?
Yes. Shrink film is generally made of low-density polyethylene. Most residential areas and local recycle centers will properly dispose of the material. Check with your city for the recycling criteria for your area.
