Colored Stretch Film

Neway Packaging offers a full range of colored stretch films, including hand and machine application types, opaque stretch film options in popular colors and films in varied gauges, such as 80-gauge colored stretch film.

Benefits of Colored Stretch Film

Security and Loss Prevention

Opaque and black stretch film both hide the contents of your packages and pallets, providing a simple and effective deterrent against theft. By concealing what’s inside the load, especially during transit or while stored in high-traffic areas, you eliminate visual temptation. 

Branding and Identification

Your packaging can work as hard as your team. Using colored stretch film allows you to incorporate color-coded systems that indicate product categories, destinations or shipments, helping your shipping team move faster and with fewer errors.

Inventory Management and Organization

When warehouse efficiency matters, color-coded stretch film simplifies sorting, storing and shipping by allowing workers to quickly identify pallet types by color, date, product line or delivery route. This ability can make your loading and picking times more efficient.

Product Protection

Like all stretch film, colored versions act as a barrier against dust, dirt, moisture and UV exposure. Opaque colors even offer an added layer of UV resistance, helping ensure your products arrive in top condition.

Types of Colored Stretch Film

Hand Stretch Film

Hand stretch film is applied manually and is best suited for low-volume operations, rework stations or businesses with smaller warehouse footprints. It’s easy to use, flexible and compatible with a variety of dispenser tools, making it a good option if you need to use the film in multiple locations. 

Ideal for tight wraps and short runs, hand film is also a smart choice for on-the-go or oddly shaped loads. Neway Packaging film is available in red, green, blue, yellow, white, orange and black. Eighty-gauge colored stretch film is widely used for balanced strength and flexibility.

Machine Stretch Film

Machine stretch film is designed for use with semi-automatic and fully automatic stretch wrap machines, making it ideal for high-volume shipping environments. Machine film delivers superior consistency, uniform stretch and better control over film usage, making it a cost-saving option for larger operations. 

It is also available in red, green, blue, orange, yellow, white and black. Our 80-gauge offerings remain the go-to for a reliable hold and compatibility with most equipment.

Choosing the Right Colored Stretch Film

When selecting a stretch wrap, evaluate your specific needs:

• Application type: Use hand stretch film for low-volume and mobile use or machine stretch film for automated, high-throughput operations.
• Color: Choose a color based on your operational goals. Use black for security, white for heat deflection or custom colors for brand recognition and workflow systems.
• Gauge: For most applications, 80-gauge colored stretch film offers a balance of performance and cost-efficiency. Heavy and unstable loads may require higher gauges.
• Quantity: Consider your usage rate and storage capabilities. With Neway’s just-in-time warehousing, you can order what you need without overstocking.
