About Food Grade Stretch Film

Yellow stretch film and cling film are highly elastic plastic films, primarily made from LLDPE or PVC, with a yellow tint added for specific functional benefits like color-coding, tamper evidence, and UV protection. They provide standard load stability and protection from dust and moisture, similar to clear films.

Description of Yellow Stretch Film/Cling Film

Yellow stretch or cling film is a type of plastic wrap with coloring agents added during the manufacturing process.

Composition: Primarily made from polymers such as linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) for industrial use or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyethylene (PE) for food-grade applications.
Properties: It possesses high stretchability (often up to 300% elongation), excellent self-adhesion (cling), and tear/puncture resistance.
Primary Purpose: The main function is the same as clear film: to secure, contain, and protect items during storage and transport. The yellow color serves as a visual indicator for improved logistics and security.
Applications:
- Logistics & Warehousing: Used for color-coding pallets to easily sort products, identify specific shipments, or organize daily production output.
- Tamper Evidence: The distinct color makes it easy to spot if a pallet or package has been opened and rewrapped, adding a layer of security.
- Branding: Companies can use the yellow film to match brand colors and make their shipments instantly recognizable.
- Agriculture: Certain yellow films include UV stabilizers to protect light-sensitive produce (e.g., specific fruits and vegetables) during outdoor storage and transport.
- Food Service: Food-grade yellow cling film may be used in delis and catering to signal specific product types (e.g., promotional items) or help prevent cross-contamination through color separation.

Q: Is there a difference between "yellow stretch film" and "yellow cling film"?
A: Yes. "Stretch film" is generally thicker, stronger, and used for securing large loads like pallets for shipping. "Cling film" (or plastic wrap) is thinner and primarily used for wrapping smaller items or food containers to preserve freshness and prevent moisture loss. Both are available in yellow.

Q: Are yellow cling films food safe?
A: Food-grade yellow cling films are available and must comply with safety standards, such as FDA approval for direct food contact. These are typically made from LDPE or PVDC. Always check the manufacturer's specifications to ensure a specific product is certified for food use.

Q: Is yellow stretch film more expensive than clear stretch film?
A: Generally, colored stretch films, including yellow, are slightly more expensive than standard clear film due to the added dyes and processing. However, the cost difference is often minimal and can be offset by benefits such as improved inventory control and reduced tampering.

Q: Is yellow stretch film recyclable?
A: Most yellow stretch films are made from LLDPE and are technically recyclable (look for the resin code #4). However, they are often not accepted in standard curbside recycling programs due to contamination risks. Check with local recycling centers or waste management authorities in your area for proper disposal methods.

Q: Does the yellow color offer any functional benefits beyond identification?
A: Yes, in some specialized formulations, the yellow color is combined with additives like UV stabilizers, which help block harmful ultraviolet radiation and protect the wrapped contents from sun damage and degradation during outdoor exposure.
