Stretch film, commonly referred to as "shrink wrap" is a stretchable plastic used to secure and unitize loads. It can also be used to bundle multiple products together. Stretch film is almost always used for a secondary packaging during transportation or storage.

All heat shrink wrap requires a heating source to heat the film. A heating source, typically in the form of a heat gun or shrink tunnel is different than a sealer. The heating source applies heat to the film to shrink the film tightly around the product being wrapped. A shrink wrap sealer is used to seal the open ends of the shrink film once the product has been inserted.
