One of the advantages of using stretch film is that it is not a very expensive protective material and can be used on all kinds of materials including machinery, chemicals and furniture.

Shrink Wrap vs Stretch Film:

Stretch film is different from shrink film in that shrink film is first wrapped loosely around the items and then tightened by shrinking it with the use of heat. Stretch film stretches to wrap around objects tightly and does not require heat to secure it. Like stretch film, shrink wrap is pliable, thin and sticks to itself, so there is no hassle in trying to knot, glue or staple it closed.
