Packaging Film

Find the answers you need below. If you have any additional questions, our customer service team is always here to support you.

Question 1: Which packaging film is best for protecting fragile items during shipping?
Bubble wrap is the ideal packaging film for protecting fragile and breakable items during transport. The air-filled cushions absorb shocks and impacts effectively, while foam wrap is perfect for scratch-sensitive surfaces like glass, electronics, or polished goods. For additional security, you can combine bubble film with stretch film for pallet wrapping. At karton.eu, all our protective packaging films are available in convenient rolls with fast international delivery and free shipping throughout mainland Germany. Both options are 100% recyclable, making them an eco-friendly choice for sustainable logistics.

Question 2: What is the difference between stretch film and bubble wrap?
Stretch film and bubble wrap serve different packaging purposes. Stretch film is a tear-resistant, elastic packaging film used primarily for pallet wrapping and securing loads during transport – it holds items tightly together and protects against dust and moisture. Bubble wrap, on the other hand, provides cushioning protection through air-filled bubbles, ideal for wrapping individual fragile items. We offer both transparent and black stretch wrap options, as well as various widths like stretch film 500mm. All our packaging films are manufactured from 100% recyclable material for environmentally responsible shipping solutions.

Question 3: Do you offer bulk discounts when ordering packaging film in large quantities?
Yes, karton.eu offers attractive volume discounts on all packaging film products including stretch film, bubble wrap, and foam wrap. The more rolls you order, the better your unit price becomes – perfect for businesses with regular shipping and warehousing needs. B2B customers additionally benefit from convenient payment by invoice and dedicated account management.

Question 4: What widths and sizes are available for stretch film and pallet wrap?
Our packaging film range includes multiple width options to suit different applications.

We stock both hand stretch film rolls for manual application and machine stretch film in various dimensions for automated packaging lines.

Question 5: Is your packaging film environmentally friendly and recyclable?
All our packaging film products are manufactured from 100% recyclable material, making them an eco-friendly choice for sustainable logistics. Whether you order stretch film, bubble wrap, foam wrap, or pallet stretch film – each product can be recycled after use, reducing environmental impact. Our commitment to sustainability extends throughout our range of protective packaging films while maintaining the tear-resistant strength and reliability your shipments require. By choosing recyclable packaging film from karton.eu, you protect both your goods and the environment. We also offer transparent film and black stretch wrap options, all meeting the same environmental standards.

Question 6: What is the difference between hand stretch film and machine stretch film?
Hand stretch film is designed for manual pallet wrapping applications and features easy-to-handle rolls, often with practical cores or dispensers for ergonomic use. Machine stretch film is engineered for automated packaging processes and stretch wrap machines, offering higher efficiency for large-volume operations. Machine film typically has different thickness and elasticity specifications optimized for mechanical application. At karton.eu, we stock both types of pallet stretch film to serve small businesses and large warehousing operations alike. B2B customers benefit from invoice payment and volume discounts on bulk orders. We also provide matching accessories including stretch wrap machines and cutting stands for professional packaging workflows.

Question 7: How do I properly apply stretch film for maximum load stability?
For optimal pallet wrapping with stretch film, start at the base and overlap each layer by 50% as you spiral upward. Apply firm, consistent tension to secure the load without over-stretching the packaging film. Make 2-3 passes around the bottom for anchor stability, then work up to the top, and finish with several wraps at the upper edge. For heavy or irregularly shaped loads, consider using tear-resistant pallet stretch film in wider formats like stretch film 500mm. Our stretch wrap is designed for excellent cling and holding force. Karton.eu also offers practical accessories including packing tables and cutting stands to improve your packaging efficiency with fast delivery across Europe.
