It can withstand heat and cold well and can also be used for food packaging.

In everyday life, this type of stretch film can be seen in various stores used for packaging goods, wrapping fruits, vegetables, or fresh food, and bulk sale items. Stretch film is also used in manufacturing plants, transportation businesses, and warehouses to bundle products together before storing them onpallet racks or as pallet stretch film to facilitate product organization, protect against contamination, and ease product transportation for shipping.
