Abstract: The present invention relates to novel multi-layer coextruded thermoplastic stretch wrap films useful for the packaging or palletizing of goods. More particularly the films of this invention comprise at least three layers having two outer layers and at least one intermediate layer placed between the outer layers. The intermediate layer is formed from a high pressure low density polyethylene resin and the outer layers are formed from a linear low density polyethylene copolymer such as ethylene copolymerized with a minor amount of at least one C.sub.4 to C.sub.10 alpha-olefin, such as hexene-1, octene-1, decene-1, 4-methyl-pentene-1 and butene-1. The force required to stretch the novel films of this invention may be controlled by the thickness of the intermediate layer relative to overall film thickness, the melt index of the intermediate layer resin, the molecular weight of the intermediate layer resin or a combination thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to multilayer coextruded thermoplastic stretch wrap films useful for the packaging or palletizing of goods. More particularly the films of this invention include at least three layers, the three layers having two outer layers and an intermediate layer positioned between said outer layers, the intermediate layer comprising a mixture of a first linear low density polyethylene and a polyolefin selected from the group consisting of homopolymers of propylene, copolymers of propylene and ethylene and mixtures thereof and at least one of the two outer layers comprising a second linear low density polyethylene. The force required to stretch the films of this invention may be controlled by the ratio of polyethylene to the selected polyolefin of the intermediate layer, by controlling the thickness of the intermediate layer relative to overall film thickness, by controlling the melt flow properties of the intermediate layer polyolefin resin or by a combination thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for the vertical packaging of webbing rolls. The system consists of a tier of webbing rolls consisting of a bottom tray, a plurality of webbing rolls positioned thereon, each roll enclosed within a cushioning sleeve and a top cap. The system components are preferably fabricated from corrugated material which has inherent cushioning characteristics and serves to deflect any damaging shipping impacts.
