Stretch Film Materials & Manufacturing: From Resin to Roll

The Process Decides the Film. The Film Decides the Load.

This archive collects every Vistech guide on how stretch film is made and what it is made of: 5-layer versus 7-layer co-extrusion, cast versus blown extrusion, mainstream material classifications and resin choices, and the PCR and bio-based films reshaping sustainable load containment.

Every guide is written for the people who specify film at the material level — packaging engineers, plant managers and procurement teams who need the process, not just the price.

Start Here: 5-Layer vs. 7-Layer Co-Extrusion

Layer count is the most marketed number in film manufacturing — and the most misunderstood. What each layer actually does, and when seven layers beat five on your pallets.

Three Paths Through the Materials Archive

Coming in with a specific question? These reading paths group the archive by the decision you are making — process selection, film specification or sustainability compliance.

Manufacturing Process & Materials

Co-extrusion architecture, cast versus blown extrusion and the mainstream resin classifications behind every film claim.

Selezzione, Economics & Myths

Gauge logic, cost-per-pallet math and why the “thicker is better” habit wastes budget without adding containment.

A sustenibilità & Market Trends

PCR and bio-based film adoption, environmental mandates versus load performance, and where the market is heading next.
