What are Stretch Wrapping Machines?
A stretch wrap machine is a piece of machinery that automatically wraps stretch film around products. This keeps the products safe and secure.
The main functions of a stretch wrapping machine are to make products easier to transport in bulk and to protect individual products from damage during shipping so that they arrive at their destination unharmed.
Although pallet loads and other products can be stretch wrapped by hand, machines are more efficient, dependable, and accurate.
Durapak is one of the leading stretch wrapping machine manufacturers and has been the forerunner of stretch wrapping machines in India for the last 20 years.
Our stretch wrappers are the best load containment machines since they use the least amount of stretch film while functioning flawlessly. Through the use of high-quality stretch films and wrapping techniques, our machines maintain the stability of your high-load confinement on the pallet securely.
Different Types of Stretch Wrapping Machines
These are the two main types of stretch wrapping machines that we offer at Durapak:
1. Vertical Stretch Wrapping Machines
Vertical stretch wrapping machines are designed to wrap pallets of products that are standing upright. The machine rotates the pallet while simultaneously wrapping stretch film around it, securing the products in place.
This type of machine is typically used for pallets that are tall or have irregular shapes.
Under vertical stretch wrapping machines, there are three types of machines:
- Semi-automatic machines: At Durapak, we have battery-operated robots, turntables, and arm/straddle wrapping machines under this category.
- Automatic machines: These machines have no conveyors and the process of film attachment and film cut-off are automatic.
- Fully automatic machines: These machines come with conveyors and the machine automatically wraps the pallet with stretch film, secures the end of the film, and then discharges the wrapped pallet.
Fully automatic machines at Durapak:
– Turntable machine
– Arm/straddle wrapper
– Ring wrapper
2. Horizontal Stretch Wrapping Machines
- Horizontal stretch wrapping machines are designed to wrap products that are moving on conveyor belts. As the products move on the belt, the machine wraps the stretch film around the products.
- Based on the level of human intervention, the horizontal stretch wrapping machines are also classified into semi-automatic, automatic, and fully automatic machines.
Both vertical and horizontal stretch wrapping machines have adjustable film tension and stretch settings, allowing for customization based on the type of product being packaged. They also have safety features to prevent accidents during operations.
Benefits of Using a Stretch Wrapping Machine
Stretch wrapping machines offer several advantages for packing and storing products, including,
- Increased safety: Stretch wrapping machines ensure increased safety for both products and employees. They hold the products together firmly and keep them safe from other external factors. Automatic machines also reduce the risk of wear-and-tear injuries in manual stretch wrapping.
- Convenient for irregular pallets: It might be difficult to stretch wrap products in tall and irregular pallets manually. Due to this, many stretch wrapping machines are designed to address these particular issues.
- Faster and more efficient packaging: Using a stretch wrapping machine for all your bulk packaging needs guarantees consistency in the stretch and efficiency of your product wrapping.
- Cost reduction: Stretch wrappers cut down on labour costs, excessive film use, and worker health expenses. Overall, they lower expenses while contributing to revenue growth.

Stretch wrapping machines in India make an incredible contribution to the food and beverage industry as they are widely used for packaging frozen foods, seafood, bakery goods, snacks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and many other products.
However, it has been observed that the need for stretch wrappers is gradually shifting toward essential pharmaceutical packaging requirements.

Are stretch wraps waterproof?
