Color & Opaque Machine Stretch Film
Our opaque and tinted machine-grade stretch films are engineered for rapid inventory visualization and high-level load security on semi-automatic and fully automatic orbital wrappers. They are the industry standard for concealing high-value products with opaque black or white film, and streamlining warehouse logistics through color-coding (red, blue, green, yellow, orange, purple).
- Conceals High-Value Parts (Prevents Pilferage)
- Visual Logistics (FIFO, Routing & QC Coding)
- CMF Cast Resin (Quiet Unwind & Easy Release)
- Consistent Pre-Stretch (Lowers Cost-Per-Load)
Machine Compatibility & Regional Specs
Anti-Pilferage
Opaque black and white films fully hide pallet contents, reducing the risk of theft during LTL transit.
Visual Management
Easily identify "Ready to Ship," "Quarantine," or "Passed Inspection" pallets from across the warehouse.
UV Resistance
Opaque pigments provide a barrier against sunlight, protecting light-sensitive cargo during outdoor storage.
Security & Temperature Control
The Application: In modern logistics, clear film is a liability for high-value goods. Watch our opaque films deployed on a heavy-duty Pro 1100 Wrapping Cell. Black Opaque is utilized to completely conceal 33 solid steel poles, preventing theft and visual identification. White Opaque is utilized on massive cylindrical rolls to reflect UV rays and lower the pallet's core temperature during transit.

Engineering FAQ: Color & Opaque Film Specifications
How does the pigmentation process affect the maximum power pre-stretch yield of opaque machine films?
The addition of heavy carbon black or titanium dioxide (white) colorant masterbatches inherently alters the polymer matrix of the LLDPE resin, slightly reducing its maximum elongation at break compared to clear cast films. To compensate, our opaque security films are extruded at higher gauges (80 to 120 micron / 20.3 to 30.5 µm), ensuring they still reliably achieve a 200% to 250% power pre-stretch yield on automated carriages without webbing failure.
Can opaque white stretch film measurably reduce the core temperature of heat-sensitive palletized loads?
Yes. Opaque white stretch film utilizes titanium dioxide pigments that create a highly reflective surface albedo, actively deflecting ultraviolet (UV) and near-infrared (NIR) solar radiation. In open-yard storage or tarmac logistics, this reflective barrier can reduce internal pallet core temperatures by 15°F to 30°F compared to clear or black film, making it a critical specification for temperature-sensitive chemicals or pharmaceuticals.
What is the minimum gauge required to achieve 100% total visual concealment (opacity) on a pallet load?
Achieving true 100% visual concealment to prevent pilferage requires a minimum 80-gauge (20.3 micron) opaque black or white film, applied with a minimum of 3 to 4 overlapping carriage revolutions. Down-gauging below 70-gauge often results in "windowing" or translucence when the film is aggressively pre-stretched over corners, compromising security protocols for high-value electronics or defense cargo.
Do translucent colored stretch films (red, blue, green) interfere with automated barcode and RFID scanning systems?
Translucent tinted films are engineered specifically for visual inventory routing (e.g., FIFO coding) while maintaining optical clarity for automated logistics hardware. A standard 80-gauge tinted film applied at optimal pre-stretch maintains sufficient light transmittance for Class A infrared and laser barcode scanners to successfully read labels beneath the outer wrap without requiring secondary external tagging.
