FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION


What is the difference between opaque and tinted film?

Opaque films do not allow light through the film. Since light cannot pass through the film this creates a natural U.V. (Ultra Violet) protection to wrapped products. Opaque stretch films also offer a bigger protection - THEFT! Opaque films protect shipments while they are in transit by not allowing "would be" thieves to see the contents of your palletized loads.

Opaque vs tinted
(L) Opaque Black (R) Red Tinted

Tinted film is colored stretch film which allows the pallet contents to be seen while distinguishing the pallet from other loads. This deters carriers from breaking down pallets during transit and reduces pilferage. Effective for inventory management and product identification.
