BrassPack offers stretch wrap in four basic types:

Cast Film
Cast film
comes off the roll quietly and has high clarity so the load can be easily seen through the wrap. Cast films are available in:

BrassPack stocks cast film ranging from 12"-18" wide and 60-120 gauge.

Blown Film
Blown film
is very resistant to puncture, making it ideal for irregularly shaped loads. Blown film is also "cloudy" so high value items cannot be seen as easily through the wrap.   Blown film is available in:

BrassPack stocks cast film ranging from 12"-18" wide and 70-90 gauge.

Metallocene Film
Metallocene film
is a new hybrid stretch wrap that offers up to twice the tear and puncture resistance of conventionally manufactured films. Metallocene resins are cleaner, stronger, and tougher than conventional resins like octene, hexene, and butene. Metallocene film is available in rolls that require a hand dispenser.

BrassPack stocks metallocene film that is 16" wide and ranges from 14-19 microns.


Gauge Chart
The thickness (and therefore strength) of stretch wrap is measured in gauge or microns.  A larger number means more thickness and more strength.  Refer to the chart below for comparisons with other common measurements.
